Another one bites the dust - Davis resigns

Maybe Vince, but isn't he a bit old?!!

I saw Dominic Grieve on QT and would like to see him with a cabinet post or as TM's replacement.

Grandad1943 - of course Labour are very quiet through all these goings on - that's because we (and I am a Labour Party member) have no strategy either! The country is in a shambles with the entire Brexit phenomenon - nobody listened at the start to the voice of business, nobody gave a thought to the London vote because let's face it, the vast majority of people don't live in the capital which is the engine for the rest of the country. As a northerner who moved to London 12 years ago, I now have a completely different perspective from that I had when I was in a relatively idyllic city with little pollution and streets that weren't over-populated with busy workers keeping the country going. It was a stupid decision to go ahead in the first place despite the slender majority, and every single issue has fallen by the wayside because the philosophy was fundamentally flawed. I just hope that we have some Labour MPs who can step up to the mark - but am not brimming over with confidence. The truth is that both the Tory and Labour party are divided on the issue.

Corbyn wants out so is hiding in the shadows

Boris Johnson is a Bafoon
He’s done the pm a favour imho
Let’s hope Gove goes next .. they are just a bunch of incompetent numpties ....
Theresa has more guts than any of them and she’s not been perfect

Absolutely. Dead Ringers accurately foretold this. Maybe he wasistening and got the idea from them. Is this the end for Bulldog Brexit?

Maybe you could also list the Labour anti Corbyn resignations as well, crystaltipps, in fairness of balance opinion of course!! One poll today shows a swing of 15% more in favour of Brexit but you wouldn't want to mention that I suppose. Politicians on all sides are letting us down because they are cowards.
The truth is the EU don't want a deal of any description because all they want the UK for is the money and they are terrified of other countries leaving so we should have shown the courage to have just walked away in the beginning and let the individual EU states put pressure on the EU for a good trade deal. Theresa was not the one to do this.

God help us all if that absolute weasel Gove becomes PM

I don’t think even his own party like him, he has all the loyalty of a scorpion

Lets hope JH can cope as FS and he makes a better job of it than his NHS.

Suddenly having to take over Brexit would I think be Labourers worse nightmare!! Which could explain the deafening silence coming from the opposition benches!!!

I have always said it she is not strong enough she have done article 50 straight away the G s, don't respect dilly dallying
do your research in depth on the EU then you will see why we must take back control but are any of the politicians strong and good enough and experienced enough ??
research the EU

I have, for years. I sometimes wish I hadn't because I now can't un-know what I do. I wish I'd stayed ignorant, far less frustrating.

I’m not sure any Labour shadow cabinet members have resigned since November quizqueen and an not sure why that means we can’t comment on the shambles of the party that is supposed to be running the country. Labour doesn’t really have to do much at the moment, just sit back and watch the Tories fighting amongst themselves. ( I’m not a Labour supporter anyway so why should I comment on the Labour Party when we’ re discussing the incompetent members of the Government? )

This debacle is brilliant material for a drama production. The Danish series 'Borgen' was very popular. I think we can top that.

Yes, sure enough Boris the Buffoon went next. I can't help but see a vision of Cameron and Osborne's smug faces. They knew exactly what they were doing slinking away like rats from a sinking ship. Theresa May has had to take on one of the toughest situations for decades.

As the months have turned into years the farce has deepened. The lack of backbone displayed by everyone concerned, and the pointless, silly harping of the opposition have brought me to the point where I don't want to read, or hear , another word about this subject. It is as it is, and we will get what the politicians decide. Enough - I'm off to do something lighthearted and joyful - cuddle the new puppy.

Well said quizqueen.

Too true. Plus Corbyn admired Tony Benn who never wanted to join in the first place.
I can see both sides - I'm a Pisces, 2 fish swimming in opposite directions.

moi aussi Fennel

I wouldn't think any politician of any colour would actually want the PM's job right now. Talk about a poison chalice!

Times columnist, ardent brexiteer and climate change denier, Melanie Phillips called for Nigel Farage to be made Prime Minister

What a shambles now mp are having to think and work instead of just gliding along blaming other parties for all things going wrong , why does football have to be brought into every debate not everyone is that bothered hope they win but it's only a game there aremore important things in the world !!

The pound was rallying Monday even as analysts warned the U.K. government was in danger of collapse after Brexit Secretary David Davis’s resignation. The British currency may have been drawing buyers thanks to comments from Davis, in which he suggested Prime Minister Theresa May ought to hold on to her job.......

“Today and the next few days will be key for Theresa May’s survival and the buoyancy of the pound,” said Jasper Lawler, head of research at London Capital Group, in a note Monday. Yet, even if Theresa May does manage to ride the course of this latest Brexit upheaval and remain at the helm with a united party behind her, the big task is to convince the EU that they should progress with negotiations on this latest proposal,” Lawler added.

“Any sterling gains will be capped until there is more clarity from the EU over the viability of the option, which will only come once the white paper has been published later this week.”

Fennel, Tony Benn admired Edward Heath who took us into the EU!!!

Tony Benn on Britain the European Community:

I am against] the Treaty of Rome which entrenches laissez faire as its philosophy and chooses bureaucracy as its administrative method.
"Britain's continuing membership of the [European] Community would mean the end of Britain as a completely self-governing nation."
Edward Heath, who sold out Britain's interests to the Common Market and gave our sovereignty away without our consent—with support of Mr Thorpe and the Liberals—is not entitled to wave the Union Jack to get himself out of the mess.

In his own words.
