Who will replace May?

'In a party of clowns, Damian Green's a proper grown up who was a real asset to the Remain campaign board. Hope for a softer Brexit.'

Will Straw.

Hunt into no 10. So NHS still having to put up with the most incompatent Health Minister ever. That will go down like a bucket of cold sick amongst the electorate if he keeps it.

Damian Green -First Secretary of State and minister for Cabinet Office and very pro-EU. What's that position mean then? Is this the sort of deputy they were forcing on her? Does it indicate a softening

Dunt seems to think it is possibly so.

The only Tory MP I have any time for is Ken Clarke, who stood by his principles and voted against Article 50 when all the other Tory Remainers caved in and Jeremy Corbyn put a totally unwarranted three line whip on his MPs to support it (although quite a few ignored it, there were not enough).

However I do realise that Ken Clarke is less popular with most Tory MPs than he is with us Liberal Remainers and anyway he is quite old (even older than some of us!)

Cabinet appointments underway. I assume that Hunt is toast, but nothing would surprise me as the Tories are so clueless about the feeling amongst the voter.

Gordon Brown did in 2010 as well, apparently.

I've just read on Twitter that Ian Paisley has said that Ed Miliband tried to do a deal with the DUP in 2015.

Does anyone know any more about this?

Yes Tegan2, we used to have railings which penned us in like cattle! I think at the time the objection to removing them was along the lines of people rushing across the busy roads and getting run over. How things have moved on so fast! Today it's a case of people teetering on the kerbstones taking selfies which cause the most danger. Aesthetically it is far more pleasing without the railings like several other big streets which have had them removed.

I think the QS is same date as start of Brexit shambles - is that the 17th?

Cheers!

So looking forward. It matters not who is the leader as they still have their manifesto like a millstone around their neck.

The QS is the next stumbling block I guess. They will do absolutely anything to avoid another election, so to get the DUP on board I dread to think what is being promised.

Does the deal have to be published?

So they get through the QS with bribery and possibly corruption and then it's all hell let lose with Brexit, as I think it will quickly become extremely clear that there is no coherent plan. Then what?

I don't mind bluing that one, whitewave.

Chairman of 1922 club is bringing forward the Tuesday meeting to Monday as the crises is getting so serious

kitty knickers and twist spring to mind

Boris has nothing to recommend him for the job of PM.

Did leave voters understand [or even care] about the problems leaving the EU would cause in Ireland. And now, to make things even worse there is this 'agreement' with the DUP . Lillie; I had no idea there had been barriers there.....

Does your husband know you consider him a kind of Boris? Poor man.

To some, durhamjen, Boris has a certain sex appeal; my DH too, though Macron would probably be my favourite!

In 2010, when Mayor of London, Boris got the job done of removing barriers on London Bridge because they were ugly.

If you are looking for someone, (Boris?), to blame for the recent atrocities of the London bridges durhamjen, then you are forgetting who the real people are we should blame.

I think so too Tegan (many leave votes were just a protest vote against austerity). I have just heard someone describe the Tories as "the most ruthless party in the west" and I think the ruthlessness went as far as lying to the electorate about austerity and blame it on the EU and also not explain the real figures on immigration and blame the austerity driven lack of resources in areas where migrants gathered on the EU too.

There were a lot of lies.

WW, I'm a grass roots Tory but I resent the term old fogie, I have never been in a Conservative club in my life and I talk to a cross section of people all the time - 5 left[ish] children for a start! How b****y judgmental and rude can you get.

I think one of the issues is that the Tories have zero grass roots support except some old fogies in their conservative club, talking to each other and totally out of touch with the world. How on earth can they make a sensible decision.

.....I will, however be out campaigning for Greg next time round, though, as it was a very close run thing!

I'm still convinced that many leave votes were just a protest vote against austerity and people are now beginning to realise that it's the government that created that, not the EU. I'm also sure that a lot of people voted Labour this time round as they were fearful of losing the NHS; possibly the very same people who voted leave because they were told the NHS needed the money we were 'giving' the EU.I will never, ever forgive that blatant lie; even more so now that one of the people who stood in front of that bus is now favourite to be PM and the other [Gisela Stuart] has done a Cameron and scarpered....Soubry is one of the people who, for the past 12 months has 'represented' me and I'm grateful for that. She has even received death threats over it.

Well I haven't accepted it as it was a badly conceived and run referendum which got through Parliament by being ADVISORY - then changed when being run to being acted upon. Too many lies were told and too many Remainer MPs lost their b***ls on the way.
It is certainly not in the best interests of the country and I think history will say that and fail to understand why sensible people ever let it happen.

Why do people keep saying that those who voted remain now accept the situation? I never will. And everyone I know who voted that way feels the same.

I except it but would still vote remain in another referendum. What I do think would be more acceptable to many who voted remain would be a cross party negotiation with the EU. It would hold up better when agreed too I would think.

I agree with Maizie though, I was voting on home policies not on the EU in this election.
