Fascinating to see the manoeuvring, shifting of moral principles and dereliction of duty by MPs. I would expect nothing other than them to jump on this opportunity to further their own interests and ambitions. Trouble is they don’t go away once they’ve resigned, they keep on reappearing from around the U bend like an un-flushable turd.

is that a polished one???

Why would you assume that the contestants would all be BREXITeers?, Would not Mr Clarke ,be a possibility?.

Polished and rolled in glitter too!

Tis true - depends on the 1922 exec committee and what happens at 5pm on Wednesday when they're next due to officially gather.

All six most senior members of its executive – Sir Graham, Cheryl Gillan, Charles Walker, Bob Blackman, Nigel Evans and Geoffrey Clifton-Brown – voted for Brexit.

As a qualified expert in this field I have to correct a misunderstanding. Floaters are the hardest Turds to flush, so much so that when visiting Customer complaints as a Service Technician for Armitage Shanks, when testing a toilet, as simulated stools I used Trifle sponges five at a time thrown in dry,

Not only are they a reasonably similar shape and density as the real thing, usually a good half of them would float and prove the Flushing power of the toilet.

And if any were left over you could always eat them on the long drive home.

What about Yvette Cooper? I know she is a Labour MP and has her life long values enshrined in the principles of the Labour movement, but I’m sure she could adjust them without too much difficulty.

I’ll remember that when I’m tucking into trifle on Christmas Day.

I trust it will give something to use to amuse the others present with as an appropriately Merry Quip

Nigel Evans view on it is "Dominic Raab is right to resign- principled stand. The PM needs to pivot sharpish to receive mode- listen to17.4 million people. Losing 2 brexit ministers in a matter of weeks must tell you that this isn’t the Brexit means Brexit you promised."

Funnily enough one of my cricket club's old player's wife used to intern / assist Evans in Parliament - before moving to live the Good Life and raise a family in France. She was very supportive for him when he was on trial.

Although I'd like to see Ken in that position, at over 78 I'm pretty sure he'd refuse, judging from various comments he's made.

Grab no-Brexit with both hands before Tories drag the whole country down.

European Council president Donald Tusk has appeared to express the hope that Brexit could still be averted.

"The EU is prepared for a final deal with the United Kingdom in November," he told a news conference in Brussels.

"We are also prepared for a no-deal scenario but of course we are best prepared for a no-Brexit scenario."

Well as Ronald Reagan once said, I won't hold their youth and inexperience against them.

I must confess that I would be delighted if Moggy fails to pull this off!

If he gets the requisite number to copy his lead and brings about a vote of confidence in May, I wonder what the odds are on Andrea Leadsom to replace her? She indicated previously that she wanted the job but May proved more popular with the Parliamentary Party.

More Modest Proposals - Maybe we could 'find' some small print in the referendum where it says anyone voting Leave has to literally do that - and a place is found for them all say a mini green and sceptred isle like the Isle of Wight. Banky and Danny Boyle could be hired to theme it like Trumpton / Ealing Comedy with WW2 ration books to enhance their unity of Little Britain vs Europe/The World golden era period similar to how they recreate environments for happlily muddled senile folk. These proud island nation could make their way in the World with tourism showcasing their utopian nostalagia. JRM could be their unelected dictator (occasionally dressing up as Britannia on Empire Day) with ERG as his cabinet along with responsibility for working the vegetable patch., Farage could be their League of Nations rep and sell tickets for the fairground rides. Aaron Banks could be their Chancellor of the Escher with his experience of crafting ambiguous paradoxical offshore finances...

Brilliant 'Wicky'! Such a vivid imagination.

No thanks, two women prime ministers so far have been two too many.

Do I get redundancy pay & pension for my ½ day in office?!?

You're setting your sights too low 'Wicky'; I'm sure you could wangle yourself a golden handshake on top of those statutory benefits. A quiet word with the long, tall streak of Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, should see you sorted on that score!

Tom

 

[Woosh]

I've been out of the office all day, just came back to find out that a vote of no confidence has been called.
