It is so sickening, I can barely listen to the news.

All the other opposition parties want to debate this no-confidence motion but the so-called official opposition keeps letting the country down.

My problem is Parliamentarians were debating the ' deal' and watching the debate it could not fail to be noted so many MP's both from remain and leave camps basically told her to bugger off back to Brussels and renegotiate ' her deal'.

This she did and is called a coward by some who told her to do it! She went back to Brussels and it looks as though she got no further nor help to promote her deal from the likes of Junker/Tusk et al. I presume she will try again , possibly this week but she cannot negotiate with a negotiating partner that is on holiday for Xmas until January 2020 can she!

As for Corbyn he he will pick his moment when he thinks he can 'win the vote'. The same as Theresa May has done over the ' deal'.

As for the OP question ( not the OP poster) then I think if personal dislike of either Corbyn and May were able to be put to one side and a reality check took over then perhaps both Corbyn and May should therefore be called out for the same reasons.

There is little to chose between Corbyn and May. Both pretended to support Remain in the referendum but kept their heads down and did damn all.

When the result was a narrow victory for leave both bought into this "will of the people - we must deliver brexit "nonsense and continued to ignore all the evidence that the referendum was fraudulent and won by lies, the majority of the population would now prefer to remain in the EU and any kind of brexit will damage our economy and our standing in the world.

The chaos in this country is now due to two very similar politicians who put their own careers before their parties and, more importantly, put their parties before the national interest.
