REFERENDUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THREAD

[Deutsch Wolf]

What the fuck does she mean, "dividing the country again"? There is no unity now.

If she'd spent even one second listening to Remain voters rather than writing them off forever on day one then we might have got somewhere, but she's behaved appallingly (not that it's surprising, she's an appalling person).

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I am staggered that Corbyn hasn't put in the motion of no confidence.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bercow has seriously laid into her about this procedurally. I think she has had it.

 

[darlowolf64]

I am staggered that Corbyn hasn't put in the motion of no confidence.

The Speaker and Vince Cable set her up for him too... Come on Corbyn, grow a pair!

 

[Tredman]

He's a coward - he knows his ideas a load of tosh (in custom's union, but no free movement...) so won;t do it. Another name to be on the list for putting themselves before the country.

"A jobs first Brexit" is as trite as anything the appalling PM has said.

Just have the guts to say this nonsense has to stop, it's totally unworkable.

I guess Corbyn is still thinking along the lines of "never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".

And possibly has just enough self-awareness to know that the Tories and DUP would probably unite to keep him from winning.

 

[visage]

Thats bollocks. His enemy is driving a bus over a cliff and hes a passenger. Sure, it will be her fault, but he's not going to come out of it unscathed.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Whatever way you voted can only think of one metaphor for the current scenario - 'we are all going to hell in a handcart'

 

[Tony Towner]

Except some of us built the handcart, took it to the top of the hill and let go. Others didn't.

Oh, it's not a defence of him and I don't think he's doing the right thing, just pondering why he's doing what he's doing. It's a piss weak strategy that's serving no-one.

The DUP have come out publically and said they would vote with the Conservatives in a no confidence vote and until their position changes there is no point in moving a no confidence vote. Their stated position this evening is the confidence and supply arrangement will remain unless the PMs deal is passed in Parliament. There is little chance of that happening any time soon so Corbyn could have balls the size of boulders and it isn’t going to change the parliamentary arithmetic.

 

[Del Woppio]

He's a cowardly bag of fucking dicks. An actual idiot. Prick.

 

[The Saturday Boy]

What’s the point of losing a no confidence vote?

 

[Del Woppio]

What's the point of being in opposition if you're just an idle spectator? Why doesn't he outright back a people's vote rather than pointlessly repeating that the government should "step aside"? The House is probably 80% remainers, if he called no confidence and pledged PV, he'd breeze it

Stop it with your reasonable logic TSB.

While I'm no fan of his, I'm not sure why you have so much anger towards him in particular and all but ignore the Tories.

This is their problem FFS.

 

[Del Woppio]

She's just lost three votes in one day, and called off another because she knew she'd get battered. If ever there was a time, it's now.

I think he's waiting until we crash out with no deal, the country is fucked, and then it's easier for him to look competent

 

[Del Woppio]

I'm angry at both, that OK? But it's on him to stop this mess because we all know she's not going to, and he's not even trying ffs

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

In the chain of Brexit blame then he is some way down the pecking order. Probably not even in the top 20.
