Looks like the myth of the ERG has finally been exposed. Despite the numbers they claim to have and the influence they’ve had on amendments recently they’ve been unable to get even half their membership to submit their letter calling for a vote of no confidence. They may have finally overplayed their hand.

Not particularly, like most on here I don’t need a drink to know you’re a bit thick.

You’d probably enjoy it more if you understood more than half of it tbf.

Won’t happen.

BTW that was abysmal from Chakrabati on Marr. Were Watson, Starmer and Thornberry all busy this morning?

I can only see two possible ways that May’s deal gets through. a. She faces a leadership challenge and wins convincingly b. She calls another referendum with the choice to remain or leave and a second question on what deal we want in the event of leaving and we vote out again. Right now she doesn’t have the political support to get her deal through, she needs some external verification from somewhere to assert her authority.

‘Leadership’.

Aye, it’s not like fucking up massively at the Home Office should be a barrier to being in government.

It will be permanent for NI. There's no reason for it to be permanent for GB.

Well it's happened, the civil unrest we expected with this deal has spilled out onto the streets.

There were always going to be some resignations over the deal. Looks to me like May has stemmed the flood and essentially hasn't lost any of Cabinet's big hitters. A decent result for her.

Just because he disagrees with the plan doesn't compell him to resign.

I think they'd genuinely shit themselves at having any real power. As we've seen with Johnson, Davis and Raab, they're much happier standing outside the tent and pissing in where they can bloviate until their heart is content without having to actually accept any responsibility.

Mumford is alright, not a fan of his sons.
