So both the leaders have now had a leadership challenge issued in their respective terms. What a shambles of party politics.
"We haven't heard a reaction from Brussels yet"
That's funny, I'm pretty sure I can hear the slightly-uncomfortable laughing from here.

Fuck you Owen Patterson. Happy to harp on about a technological solution to Northern Ireland border. Won't give details of this magical unicorn
I like how her statement basically sums up why her plan and timetable is bullshit. But apparently it's OK if it's her shitshow, not someone elses
So her statement was as we all suspected, a sales pitch..
Vote against me is cancelling Brexit and a vote for Corbyn, and she is now going to spend all day speaking to colleagues
Paddy Power have her at 1.50 to win....
My hope in her going is waining, all the big guns are supporting her, Rudd,Hunt, Javid
And why does it not matter that she caused delay by cancelling vote on WA, double standards

So basically she will win this, and regain strength from it. Feels like Corbyn should have called for No Confidence before this happened (and go all in), now people in the Conservative party are forced to re-evaluate, and when they realise Theresa May is the lesser evil that might dampen the hatred for the deal she's proposing. Anyway that's my first pessimist thought of the day.
If they back her though then they're stuck with her
Corbyn's no confidence vote wouldn't have given them this choice, they would've all rallied around her giving her a public mandate to push ahead.
Now even she wins we know a good chunk of the Tory party don't want her, not just the deal.
I don't see how she gains from this at all, it's only going to annoy the public and change nothing in the tory party, at best it will be neutral. i suppose it could be a relative to the party crumbling type of gaining strength.
From May's speech:
No shit! What about the literal months, if not years, if not decades your party has been divided on this issue? You utter fuckwit.
Since when has May served her country and acted in the national interest? I'm struggling to remember.

Didn't she specifically mention delaying or withdrawing article 50 if January 21st deadline is passed. I know she was talking about practicalities of a leadership election but surely it would apply to other situations as well?
"I'll leave the country if" is always good for a laff.
Unless the fucko in question is filthy rich and can go have his cook-offs and coke fueled orgies in a smaller, tranquil tax haven.
Then again, fat loss.

I convinced my parents to buy an Amstrad GX4000 over a NES because it had Pang.
I will always hate that man.

I love how everyone is still going on like the negotiations are ongoing.

Nope. It goes like this:
Q: When will X happen?
A: I'll tell you that X wouldn't happen under a Labour government!
Every politician ever. She just repeats the same things more than most though.
Literally everything to do with the Apprentice has been awful
I guess it turns out a reality tv show focused around business/entrepreneurship just turns out a load of right wing sociopaths, who would have thought???
A new leader isn't going to deliver a better brexit
The choice is remain or hard Brexit which means a hard border for NI and almost probable break up of the UK, lose Gibraltar and economic damage.
A half way house is no good for anyone and leaves us far too open in the next stage. EU have no reason to offer a cherry picked Brexit or a favourable one.
With investment and spending stalling, no-one with an idea on how to deliver Brexit, no majority support for a party, we should put this on the shelf and remain.

It must be fate, I just ran into a bloke I know to be a brexiteer who I occasionally meet walking the dog.
Unsurprisingly he thinks the government are all acting like clowns, but then he told me he thinks Rees-Mogg is an arsehole. Which I would never in a million years have expected from someone like him

'Growing confidence in Team May'
Norman Smith
Assistant political editor
There is growing confidence in Team May that they can win this.
Every key member of the Cabinet has declared support for the prime minister and the BBC has calculated that around 172 MPs have issued public statements of support.
It is a secret ballot so they may say one thing publicly and vote another way in private, but Mrs May had one of her better PMQs and she gets to address Tory MPs minutes before they vote.
Her opponents remain divided over who should run against her.

I think she'll win. That said, the way Brexit has gone so far, if she loses it'll net a 'huh' from me, rather than shock.
Whatever happens in the vote, the people of the UK lose big time.
