It's directed at the vocal minority who refuse to accept that the referendum returned a leave vote. There are many remainers who take issue with so-named 'remoaners' . Whatever you say So Mogg would never call a remainer a remoaner now would he? TORY Brexit champion Jacob Rees-Mogg called the Treasury a ‘bastion of Remoanerism’ after Philip Hammond’s Budget warning.

Many of us have LESS money to spend on essentials NOW. 45 years of work, you should have saved some money, bought a house; if you haven't then that is your fault.

He's a big believer in self-medicating, I hear Haynes are preparing a new 'the human body' line of manuals for their post-Brexit marketing So, by the looks of today's news, Theresa's plan B seems to be 'kite-flying a bilateral deal with Ireland' on Monday morning. Which is quite obviously a non-starter. With Leo, Barnier, the EU27, the DUP and most everyone else with tuppence in it. I'm perversely hoping she does hop over to Brussels: my suspicions about her masochistic tendencies need confirmation!

Theresa May. I'm not being insulting, but is she all there? There is something about her inability to change course or to respond to external stimuli (being rubbished by the entire world) that is mind bogglingly odd.

She needs to deal with that herself or the laws of unintended consequences are going to kick her very hard in the backside.

'The Lady's not for turning', if I remember the slogan correctly. Except when there's something to potentially gain, of course. Like a bigger Parliamentary majority.

The whole premise of her position is illogical and bizarre. She believes that leaving the EU will deeply damage the UK and voted to remain, yet is presiding over a government that is implementing that option. Her head must be in a right mess and I suspect she is now in a permanent "I'm not listening, I"m not listening!" mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I’m not sure she is - I think the last time she went to Germany Merkel was stood in the cold because our Theresa couldn’t negotiate getting out of a car. Maybe next time she could take her own clown car. As I watched more weapons grade incompetence unfold this morning, I pondered the question what would Merkel do if faced with the same problem? Would her steely German efficiency got brexit sorted in two years? It’s been built up as one of life’s unsolvable problems, but is it really?

Harrystottle 10 #862 Posted January 21, 2019 Thatcher did have more about her though. May? The attributes awarded to her by her supporters - durability, refusal to be swayed etc - you could just as easily give to a bag of wet sand. She's a mystery.

She is where she is, through repeatedly boxing herself in ever smaller corners over time, unnecessarily so moreover, and then not being (wo)man enough to put her hand up and unboxing herself. She is the living (re)embodiment that politics of appeasement never work out in the end: you can fool some of the people some of the time, but never all of the people all of the time. For witness, her character and policies are equally held as pro-Leaving by the Remain side, as pro-Remain by the Leave side. Even though, objectively, the WA deal, by its terms, lies firmly on the harder side of the Leave axis. And now, at last, she (well, the whole Brexit charade under her 'stewardship') has firmly entered the end game phase. 67 days to go. Tic-toc-tic-toc...
