Who will replace May?

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!

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.....

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

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

I don't mind bluing that one, whitewave.

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

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'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?

Gordon Brown did in 2010 as well, apparently.

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.

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!)

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.

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.

'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.

Isn't Damion Green friends with May? She's trying to build up a new set of close supporters. Someone should tell her it lost her majority last time, she needs to be inclusive, but I think that she is emotionally incapable of being so.

His wife is one of her friends from university.

I'd like to know who is justice secretary now that Liz Truss has been given another job.
Hope May chooses a legal person this time.

Nope, David Lidington, degrees in history and Elizabethan history - first Elizabeth, that is.

There's a report on the Beeb that people are being summoned and refusing to go!!!

My God I'd love to be a fly on the wall

Baggs. I've just been trying to do some research on internet into Gordon Brown and this twitter feed saying he tried to do a deal. It refers to a letter he sent to DUP assuring them that there would be no cuts to the block grant to NI. In it he states at least twice, that he wants to reassure the DUP and ALL the political parties in NI about this. Whoever is tweeting this is mischief making.

Hunt is a gift for Labour.

baggs Hain was asked the question and he said there was never any question of a previous government working with the DUP.

But I think it is entirely irrelevant in the currant situation.
