Theresa May's time is up

[tommers]

If Penfold was a prick.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Mark Francois really does look like a frog.

I think of him more as a poisonous toadstool.

 

[newbie]

so for the next few weeks we'll find out if no prime minister is better than a bad prime minister.

 

[Mr Moose]

Robbed a thinly veiled "for the many" from Labour and invoked the war and escaping the nazis when talking about Brexit in her speech. ffs

When she started there was all that ‘burning injustice’ stuff that she’s never mentioned again.

 

[Pickman's model]

When she started there was all that ‘burning injustice’ stuff that she’s never mentioned again.

considering the great volume of burning injustice she's created that's probably for the best

 

[belboid]

When she started there was all that ‘burning injustice’ stuff that she’s never mentioned again.

well, that would be jolly bad taste, after Grenfell, so best just not to mention it again and hope the people who never actually voted for you in the first place forget about it

 

[planetgeli]

Did something just happen? I’ve been busy.

Oh right. A betting opportunity.

 

[pseudonarcissus]

so for the next few weeks we'll find out if no prime minister is better than a bad prime minister.

...with the prospect of a worse Prime Minister to come

 

[Sprocket.]

I cannot IMHO name anyone in the HoC capable of being prime minister.

 

[Don Troooomp]

May falling on her sword is good news.
The more open infighting the better, and the more the Tories will become an even less electable mess.
I want Boris in the job, mostly because I can't think of a bigger, loud mouthed pillock that'll make them seem even worse than they are.

Vote Boris

 

[gosub]

How is everyone so sure that she won't be back next week explaining that she needs an extension?

Johnson.

 

[Sprocket.]

Johnson.

It will be funny, in an immature way of watching the yanks sniggering every time they say Johnson, like we do at Trump.

 

[newbie]

...with the prospect of a worse Prime Minister to come

could well be, whether 'worse' means nastier, more rightwing or more incompetent. All three at once (or 'Johnson') is a bit alarming.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Some of the cleaners are quite canny.

 

[D'wards]

The fact she earnestly tried to convince us that 20% cut in police budget has absolutely no correlation to the rising crime figures is proof positive she will lie through her teeth if she thinks she'd get away with it.

 

[Sprocket.]

She might get a book deal and world tour sponsored by shredded wheat and weetabix.

It would be really such fun.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Unlike the scissor sisters, I DO feel like dancing today

 

[gosub]

Johnson.

Alexander Boris "fuck business" Johnson

 

[Mr Moose]

A Johnson PM is quite tricky for Labour. While he is a walking gaffe machine, he will outshine Corbyn in a way May never had a chance. He will get all the laughs, Corbyn will just look earnest.

This becomes a big problem if Brexit is delivered. It could well be a time of uncertainty. Who will the country choose to lead then, Boris who says gung-ho, rule Brittania bollocks about making Britain great or Corbyn who has been lukewarm.

Labour will have to pivot sharply for an inspiring vision, otherwise the Brexit Party vote will collapse towards the Tories and they get their 2015 majority back.

 

[Pickman's model]

reminds me of the auld song 'please mr postman' but there won't ever be a brexit in the postbag as may's shoved that right up the creek

 

[Don Troooomp]

Johnson.

I'm old and uncool so I had to google that - Works for me because he's very much a dick.
Not a big, proud, fully erect dick ready for action, more a limp, clap riddled todger that only sees a cunt when Boris is naked in front of a mirror.

 

[Lord Camomile]

It's not just the "ha! Sounds like a penis!"*. Calling him Boris buys into his brand, his whole "lovable buffoon" schtick. The man is a colossal cunt and might be about to become PM, so we should take him seriously and use his surname, just like we do all the other colossal cunts who have had or coveted that position.



*although I'm not denying the charm.

What does that actually mean for you?

(And Labour's election material has been positive for some time now)

 

[killer b]

What does that actually mean?

The inspiring vision of.... a second referendum.

Just imagine how inspiring that would be.

Well that's my guess but I wanted Moose to justify himself.

 

[brogdale]

It could well have to be an even more dramatic pivot of calling for revocation against Johnson's no-dealism

Sorry brogdale "have to be" on what basis? LP members pushing that line?

Quite so. For similar reasons I refuse to firstname the likes of Chuka Umunna.
