UK votes for #BrExit from the EU. 52% Leave - 48% Stay.

Mortally wounded by being a completed arse.

His role in the brexit debacle has been an utter disgrace.

Absolutely right J.P.

Boris chose his bed, and it is very unlikely he will get the chance again.

More fool him.

Just desserts.

[Wonderfulspam]

Hmm, Theresa May or Michael Gove?

Decisions decisions.

Think I'll vote BNP next time.

[misty]

Roll on  Mrs May as PM.
It's about time we had another woman to sort out the mess the men inevitably leave behind.

How terribly sexist.

Are there any policies of hers you particularly support.  [ moderated ]

Mortally wounded by backstabbers Gove and May.

In case you haven't noticed from history, this is par for the course in the Tory party.

Of those standing, either Crabbe or May, are IMO the preferable candidates.

Meanwhile in the Labour election, IMO, Ms. Eagle hasn't got it what it takes to be P.M. either.

Someone with charisma is needed. Ms. Eagle, whilst being a good M.P. doesn't have what it takes in today's world, where someone's appearance seems more important than what they stand for.

Hear, hear!

Sisters will soon be running the world: Hilary, Angela, Theresa and Nicola

Are there any policies of hers you particularly support, or is it just because she doesn't have a penis?

She's been quietly but excellently efficient in her present post.
Leader of Europe's most powerful nation = female.
Probable next leader of US = female.
Scottish leader = female
Welsh leader = female.

And the absence of a penis is the biggest bonus of all.

Well I would be surprised Misty if any of them did possess one.

This is the worrying thing.

American idiots will vote Hillary because she's a woman.

She's completely corrupt,  a total war monger, she'll take a tough line on Russia.

She wants WW3. And she'll deliver it.

Donald Trump, the supposedly evil one, wants better relations with Russia.

I am afraid to say G-Unit, that the Labour M.P.'s are quite entitled to have held the vote of confidence in their 'leader'.

Corbyn has surrounded himself with toadies.

He is a decent man, but he is deluding himself, if he really thinks he can bring a Labour victory.

As to backing within the party, we shall see in the election for the nest leader.

Being entitled to do something doesn't mean it's the right thing or the right moment to do it. They are members of a party which rejected their approved candidates. In other words their party rejected their vision of the way forward. Trying to force his resignation was a cowardly way to try to get rid of Corbyn. If they're so sure he's the wrong leader the party should choose, not just the MP's. We shall see if they can beat him fair and square in a leadership election.

A lot of Lab MP's let themselves down badly with their personal appearance.  Perhaps one of the reasons TB was so successful.

We shall see.

It is also known that members of the Socialist Workers Party and the Communist party registered with the Labour Party, as did members of the Conservative Party as well, in the last Labour leader election.

There is a major disconnect between Labour MPs and Labour party members - something has to give.  A new party seems to be the most logical step out of this impasse.

In the meantime, the posturing and mischief making will continue, taking the eye off the ball and scrutiny of the job politicians were elected to do ... and that is running the country effectively.
The potholes wrecking our wheels are nothing at all to do with Europe.

One of the opening salvos was fired in Westminster in the SNP war of attrition with the Pete Wishart 'attempt' quoting Erskine May to be recognised as the official opposition.

SNP's bid to replace Labour as Commons opposition rejected

You ain't seen nothin' yet, they are very good at this, and with the lure of another stab at a separation referendum very much on the cards (I believe Quebec are agitating for another) there is much more capital to be made from such posturing.
Nicola Sturgeon was not 'wasting her time' being rebuffed in Europe.  She was there as a cog in a well oiled machine.

The country could well do without all of this.  I am of the same opinion as Alfie.  A democratic vote was taken unfortunately without the prior safeguard of a percentage rule on the outcome and we are bound by the will of the majority.

Instead of getting bogged down as we seem to be at present, our politicians need to look to the future and make this divisive thing work as best as it can.  First of all by getting the best exit deal possible.  The SNP didn't exactly hit the ground running post Brexit, even their strategists in their wildest dreams couldn't believe their luck, but they are running with a head of steam now and leaving everyone else wandering around at the starting post scratching their heads.

Our unionist and internationalist MPs are letting us down by their lack of control of the situation.

Nicola Sturgeon is a loose cannon as is the SNP leader in the Commons.  Their posturing and boast that the Scottish government will veto the exit was a load of bull.  I was so glad both the Spanish and the French put a shot across their bows yesterday.  Someone had to tell them to piss off!!

[Angelo222]

Unbe-freakin-lievable.  Except it's not   Bunch of snakes the lot of them.

I have to agree Alfie.  Both Labour and the Tories are in meltdown but I blame Cameron who is noticeably quiet.
