Who will come crawling out of the woodwork?

Emily Thornberry!!!! She that sneers at people who drive white vans and make an honest living with their own hands....not hands dipped in the public coffers. She and Anna Soubry are stablemates!

I just wish I was still young enough to emigrate.

Willow10 do you qualify for an Irish Passport ? I'm about to check if we do as all of our GGP's were Irish .If we are and Brexit goes through with no deal and no Scottish Independence we're off to Eire.its always felt like home when we're there anyway .

Varian I am laughing out loud that you believe Anna Soubury of all people and Vince Cable are 'good people'. To me they are dreadful politicians with bad ideas. I do believe Yvette Cooper has a reasonable track record over a long career and is hardworking.

I am expecting Amber Rudd, Andrea Leadome, Dominic Rabb, Esther McVey and Boris to throw hats into ring if another leadership contest but not expecting May to resign. If she would resign a strong Brexiteer could take charge. May is too bloody obliging to EU. Anybody would be better than Hopeless Hammond.

I just wish they would look at what they are doing to the country and work together, I am really frightened for our children and grandchildren’s future .

Jess Philips? Oh please no. She would deafen us all and men would be frightened to speak. Just imagine her and Diane Abbott running things, could we sink that low?

And I predict the rise of Tom Watson.....if Labour could just nudge the poisonous Corbyn out of the way.....

Whoever it was who said that they would like to be Boris Johnson's PA needs to look behind the breezy boffin exterior and see the lazy, ruthless opportunist that lies beneath. I know someone who worked with him, and apparently he would sell his grandmother if it advantaged him - a bit like he has dumped his wife (wives!)! Don't be fooled! He made a real mess of the foreign office job too.

I am gobsmacked that anyone on here you can seriously think Theresa May is doing a good job. In what way! It’s nearly 3 years since the referendum. Doesn’t anyone realise the damage this government has done to the domestic policy in this country and David Cameron before that ,?with so-called austerity We still have historic levels of borrowing !! But hey the rich toffs are going to be alright whatever . And seriously Ann Widdecombe where on earth is your head that whoever said that

I wish we still had statesmen like John Major or Tony Blair to lead us through this shambles. LullyDully totally agree with your comment about IDS. Prefer Jess Philips to Corbyn but it probably won’t happen

Paddyann, I think you'll find it's only people with Irish grandparent/s that qualify for an Irish passport. I have an Irish G.Grandmother and as far as I can gather it's not a goer!!

"Feb up with the whole lot and May is only being propped up by the DUP who were paid to do so."
Exactly Barmyoldbat we (OH&me) were just saying the same early this mornin
I would hope, though, that Yvette Cooper would do better. She does still seem to have some integrity.

Please not Boris, or that Reece Mogg thingy, he reminds me of lurch.

Paddyann -I too have dreamed of an Irish passport based on my GG grandmother but no chance. Perhaps Ireland will relax its rules for Remainer refugees!

I like your style, variant
but if we have to stay in the same 2 arty system of leadership.
Hilary Benn for labour (My favourite)
John Redwood for the Tories. He wouldn't put up with all of this Tory infighting nonsense that's going on.

Absolutely, well said!

I have been thinking of applying for an Irish passport. My grandfather was born in Donegal so I qualify,

Boris Johnson is now living with his new girlfriend, apparently, nick-named FLOTUS (First Lady of the US) by those in the Tory party, who is reported highly ambitious - including getting him into the PM job. Of course, he won't make his move until we're out of the EU and then he can just blame any mess on Mrs May. (BTW fans of his on here need to remember that he DID have the chance to step up to the PM job after the Referendum, when David Cameron resigned, but he held a meeting (on camera) and declared that he wasn't going to run - doesn't like hard work, and given the mess he made of being foreign secretary, lets hope that he never gets the chance).

I can't think of any politicians who come out of this Brexit debacle in a good light, but Lord preserve us from Esther McVey. It has been a well known fact for some time that Universal Credit has been badly designed and is causing severe hardship.

The way McVey promoted it was repugnant and showed the Tories at their worst. Fortunately she was taken off the job and they have now softened their attitude. However, no-one with feelings or caring would have taken the hard line Esther McVey did, which in my opinion showed her in her true light.

Sorry Lily65, it's too late ... they've already crawled!

I qualify for an Irish passport..... but I don’t want one.

"May's Government would have lost the vote if we taxpayers hadn't paid for the DUP votes. Is this still the will of the people?"

Repeating a question but here goes out of interest.

Is it the hatred/dislike of the DUP that you object to or is it the ' principal' behind the practice of ' Confidence and Supply' that you object to?

If it is not the hatred/dislike of the DUP then how will you view the ' Supply and Confidence' practice if Labour won the next General Election but with no overall majority so Labour required to use the ' Confidence and Supply' of another party, possibly the SNP?

Surely if it is the ' principal' some object to then Labour would be eligible for criticism also. Or is it dependent on partisan politics and a view can alter to suit?

I find it totally hypocritical of some, or possibly they forget, Labour under Gordon Brown tried to do a ' Confidence and Supply' agreement with the DUP when there was a hung parliament back in 2010. Wasn't it also an offer ' involving money'?
