OT: Old Mrs. May's fudge shoppe

[PedroTheFisherman66]

So not enough fudge was packed to hold it all together. Davis gone.
Gove can't follow now after what he's said. But Fox and others might. Chances of a leadership challenge are edging up steadily. If they get the 48 they need, they'll remember how May lost their majority, a compromise candidate will throw their hat in the ring and she could well be gone.

They are all at fault..
The Hard liners should have come forward after the disaster that was the election.
They should have had one of their own negotiating with the EU so they could lay down from day one what the UK wanted and was expecting....but they backed an ailing leader so they could retain power instead of risk loosing another election.
Then the negotiating could have begun..
instead the Tories were just interested in appeasing the Nation to remain in power ,
obviously incorporating a 1 billion pound deal with the DUP to help them retain power !
The result ,
no direction no leadership , 1 billion scrumped from our Magic Money Tree,that we did not have for the nurses....( it must have been a fast growing Tree!!)
May has lied to the nation and her party about what she was going to do ..all along she wanted the soft Brexit..so why did Brexit mean Brexit and not soft Brexit.....??
because .. saying it out loud would have cost her and the party Power !!!

Just about sums it up!
You think back to Johnson going AWOL right after the referendum (just like he ran off to Kabul the other week to avoid a vote).
And then blubbing and standing down when Gove stood against him, letting May in.
They've never had a plan and never had the balls.
What happens from here is anyone's guess, but fanatics like Rees-Mogg won't let it go without having a go at taking over the party

Because she's publicly committed herself and us, to leaving the customs union and as the EU have so far not made a single concession on anything, literally nothing, we can't have a soft Brexit?

Unless the EU start to make serious concessions, if we stick to leaving the customs union, I think there will be a no agreement scenario.

Our negotiators just have not made a fist of the fact that we have 40 billion quid that thy want to get their sweaty hands on.
