Several months ago, the UK was in the middle of what seemed like another crisis-cycle of voting and deal-making and refusals of potential deals when it came to Brexit. I tried to follow what was happening, but it felt like even British political operatives were like “f–k if I know what’s happening,” so I felt a bit better about not understanding it. It genuinely felt like the British government is a snake eating its own tail at this point – everything is consumed by Brexit and the crisis that Brexit represents. Well, there was another round of voting this week, and suffice to say – ???? – the news continues to be bad for prime minister Theresa May. May has announced that she’ll be stepping down as prime minister in two weeks. YIKES.
Theresa May has bowed to intense pressure from her own party and named 7 June as the day she will step aside as Conservative leader, drawing her turbulent three-year premiership to a close. Speaking in Downing Street, May said it had been “the honour of my life” to serve as Britain’s second female prime minister. Her voice breaking, she said she would leave “with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love”.
The prime minister listed a series of what she said were her government’s achievements, including tackling the deficit, reducing unemployment and boosting funding for mental health. But she admitted: “It is and will always remain a matter of deep regret to me that I have not been able to deliver Brexit.”
May’s announcement came after a meeting with Graham Brady, the chair of the backbench Tory 1922 Committee, which was prepared to trigger a second vote of no confidence in her leadership if she refused to resign. Her fate was sealed after a 10-point “new Brexit deal”, announced in a speech on Tuesday, infuriated Tory backbenchers and many of her own cabinet – while falling flat with the Labour MPs it was meant to persuade.
I realize that I, as an American, have no room to speak on self-inflicted crisis-politics and a populace shooting itself in the foot politically. I mean, what’s happening in the United States of Trumplandia right now makes all international political stories seem almost normal. But YIKES. I feel sorry for you (Cele)bitches in Great Britain. Apparently, Boris Johnson could be the new prime minister? From the frying pan into the fire.
PS… Does this mean the Brits are going to cancel Trump’s visit? I hope so!

Sad to say, I don’t know very much about British politics. All I can add is that I wish Trump would step done from his duties.
Okay, can someone correct my timeline and fill it in as necessary?
So Brexit passed by referendum, David Cameron resigned (he was opposed to Brexit?), Theresa May is elected prime minister (by her party, right?), and she was supposed to complete the Brexit deal and nothing could ever pass Parliament, so Britain is still technically part of the EU but the EU could kick Britain out without a Brexit plan, and that’s what people are scared of, because that would be when the trade stops?
Did Theresa May’s party support Brexit? Is there any chance of Britain staying in the EU and Brexit just not happening?
Sorry, I know I sound ignorant, I’ve been trying to follow it but it gets confusing.
Hi Becks1
I do try to keep up with it all but it is difficult and complex and exhausting. I am sure there are many people that could explain better but I’ll try..
As part of the general election we had when David Cameron was still leader of the Conservatives he knew there were a lot of people unhappy about being part of the EU and wanted to leave completely/change the rules etc.. so he said we would have a referendum (to keep people happy and get them to vote for him) however I don’t believe he thought there was any chance of a leave vote winning. And then it did. And they were not prepared. So he stepped down as prime minister, and we ended up with Theresa May. She then held another general election, which lost her the majority, and she ended up in a coalition with the DUP (a Northern Irish party).
The problem was that when the referendum was held, the government expected a remain vote and then it would all just go away, so nothing had been done in case of a ‘what if’ and this is where we are now… still where we were then?!
As for if the UK will leave the EU… I think we have to respect the result of the referendum, but many argue there should be another when we know the terms of the exit. No one seems to agree on anything though.
thanks Sarah! that is helpful. I remember now that Cameron was not prepared for the results of the referendum. Yikes. What a mess.
Good Lord. That really is convoluted. Thanks @Becks1 for asking and thanks Sarah_UK for explaining. What a mess.
Thanks for the explanation! Are the exit terms the ones that were reached with May, or is there room for further negotiation?
The official EU account tweeted today that the deal on the table is the “best and only deal possible”, so they’re still digging in.
@Sara_UK’s explanation is really good but I just thought I’d add that May was supposed to come up with terms for the exit which everyone agreed on but she couldn’t manage it. The EU is making this as hard as possible, probably in the hope that it will discourage other countries following suit. If no deal is made and the EU refuses to extend the deadline again, trade doesn’t cease but each deal would have to be made individually, which would be a real headache.
I think most politicians would love to hold another referendum and allow the people of GB to change their minds, which probably would happen but of course holding another vote because you didn’t like the first result is a bit problematic, so now they don’t really know what to do.
The results of the election on Sunday will determine our new prime minister.
Thanks for the explanation Sarah. Is it also the case that before the vote, a lot of false information was advertised about how great leaving the EU would be economically for Britain ? And since now the populace knows the reality of how expensive it will be, how business is leaving (eg Honda and Nissan closing factories) etc , that there should be a new referendum?
@Blueorange the EU is absolutely not making this as hard as possible! They’ve been clear and transparent about major red lines from the start. It’s the UK that entered talks unprepared, chaotic and was unwilling to compromise on anything. Not offering free trade without free movement is not “making it difficult” it’s common sense and protecting what the EU stands for.
Becks1, great question. Thanks I need a 101 in this subject too.
Her party is split, that’s part of the problem. For years some of the Tories have been very vocally wanting to leave and others very vocally wanting to remain.
Part of the problem is there was a complete lack of preparation. May got into government and triggered Article 50 (starting the process to leave) without having thought about what leaving would look like. Article 50 has a 2 year deadline (which has now run out and has only been extended because the EU allowed it to be). That’s 2 years to draft what our laws will look like, how trade and customs will work, how travel will work… Everything is tied to our membership of the EU and the government gave themselves a 2 year deadline to get everything ready to activate without even knowing what they wanted it to look like. They then proceeded to procrastinate for most of that time (like when May called a general election a couple of weeks later that took up 2 months and where May lost her majority anyway).
And now no option is getting a majority in the House of Commons, so we’re stalling and no one has any idea what’s going on or what’s going to happen.
@Beli actually both Labour and Conservatives are split on the issue of Brexit. Both are internally imploding, paving the way for horrors like the ‘Brexit Party’ who are projected to ‘win’ the European election in the U.K. – without an actual platform other than Brexit means Brexit.
@Clare True, I just focused on the Tories since they’re in government (albeit without a majority…). Labour are a shower too right now.
The fact that people are even considering voting for the Brexit Party is mad. They don’t even have a manifesto. They don’t even have MEMBERS, just people who pay money to the company (aka Nigel Farage’s pocket). It’s baffling.
This mess demonstrates ever so perfectly why you don’t normally allow major constitutional changes like this to pass with a simple majority vote (>50%). Because no matter the result, you don’t want a split country where nearly half the people were against it. IMO it was a catastrophic f-ck up to not require a 2/3 majority vote (>66.7%) on the referendum.
Cameron was the one to instigate the referendum vote for brexit as leader of the manifesto to get the Tory party and himself as prime minister re-elected. As soon as the UK actually voted to leave he papped himself and quit and now to quote UK comic Danny Dyer, ‘has his trotters up in Nice (south of France)’. He and his ego are the ones to cause Brexit not TM, she just had the greed and ego to accept the poisoned chalice Cameron left behind. Now she is going I am even more worried. If Boris is PM and hooks up with Trump we could be in for a whole new cornerstone of horse crap.
Good riddance to spineless, bigoted rubbish. On the other hand, Boris and stalking horse Rees-Mogg, ugh.
Good.
The only reason I’m not cheering is because whatever we get next will be worse. Dreading Boris.
I agree Beli. Can anyone do a better job right now? Can’t see how it will all end to be honest!
Tbh the only one ‘running’ doesn’t make me cringe is Rory Stewart.
@Clare. Agree. But he’s so far behind. The top three is really grim reading.
We are all living in the upside down.
((so true Megan)) awesome description…
So a couple of things
Mrs May will step down as leader of the Conservative party on 7 June. She will remain PM until her party elects it’s new leader.
Also our new PM will very likely (unfortunately) be Boris Johnson, who is currently polling in the high 30s amongst the party grassroots.
We will also likely leave the EU with no deal.
Oh also, we had another election yesterday (EU elections) in which both labour and conservatives are predicted to have done very very badly (coming possibly third and fourth). This was preceded by the locals elections a few weeks ago – in which both the main parties lost hundreds of local seats.
Fun.
I laughed and said good and then read Boris Johnson was being banded about as her replacement. Ugh. What a mess
Yeah, it will go from bad to worse I’m afraid!
The EU hate Johnson, they were willing to work with May as she had a relationship with them build up during her time as Home Sec. they will not renegotiate any new deal with him but he wants a no deal as he and others like him are stuck in the UKs imperial past.
Also it’s worth noting that Johnson is a descendant of an illegitimate Russian aristocrat, it was discovered during am episode of Who do you think you are? The genealogy show.
I think they were Germans (Wurttemberg) but he’s also descended from a son of King George II and is a fifth cousin to QEII.
This adds fuel to the fire to the Trump state visit. Bad enough there are protests planned and the Orange Menace’s adult children are planning to invade the UK with him on the trip. Trump will drag May and push Boris Johnson to be the next PM. He’s probably mad he won’t speak before Parliament like Obama did. Throw in Trump accusing British intelligence of spying on his campaign and Trump baby making another appearance. Harry and Meghan dodged a hail of bullets. Good Will and Kate; you’re going to need it.
This will be an interesting show!
Harry didn’t dodge it completely. He’s attending a luncheon as part of the State visit.
Im soo looking forward to Dons year of goodbyes which prob wont be til 2023. He’ll be nuclear with all that he says & ( lets face it ) straight to court.
Yeah was no fan but at least Theresa May tried to compromise, Boris Johnson is a Brexiteer so he’ll push Brexit through and it will be with a worse plan than Theresa May has. Boris is also an oaf and potentially a bigger embarassment then Trump so there’s that too. No conservative will give a referendum on the Brexit deal so we’re left with whatever they come up with and we’re still screwed.
Has she tried to compromise?? The whole issue has been that she won’t. That it was her way or no way. She only involved the other parties when her Bill didn’t get through 3 times. Perhaps if she had compromised from the beginning this wouldn’t be happening (from a staunch remainer)
Well she’s tried to avoid a no-deal brexit which is what her backbenchers wanted and is what Boris is promising. I’m also a remainer but I’ve accepted it’s happening, any exit deal was never going to be a positive outcome, but a no-deal brexit will be a disaster.
She has tried but it’s been hampered because she has been trying to avoid worst case scenario, no deal. A no deal fks us over every way from Sunday and beyond.
No she hasn’t tried to avoid a no deal at all. She has tried to impose her will on Parliament and it didn’t work out. Already she’s getting the benefit of the doubt – crazy
@Lara I can’t believe the spin – it’s hardly s compromise if you shut the opposition out for 2 years and only start negotiating with them after failing to get your deal through multiple times.
The whitewashing is crazy!
Also she will be Baroness May within 5 years – the party will reward her for not naming names today. I wish she had stood there and said the ERG refused to let me do my job.
The EU voted on the deal, this is the best deal the UK will get. May tried to make that clear, with or without compromise, but Parliament refused to accept it.
Matter of time. She’s always been there to act as the scapegoat. The next one may be scarier.
Yep classic “glass cliff”, phenomenon of women in leadership roles, such as executives in the corporate world and female political election candidates, being likelier than men to achieve leadership roles during periods of crisis or downturn, when the chance of failure is highest.
“A senior minister told The Sun: “Such a head of steam is now building to just get anyone in instead of her now that it’s close to becoming inevitable.
From The Sun yesterday:
“If she can’t find a majority for Brexit in the next couple of weeks, does she really risk abject humiliation at the national convention on June 15? Or does Philip sit down with a whisky and tell her it’s time.”
This is the attitude she was up against, that her husband Philip needed to take her to one side and set her right. Ugh.
Thanks, Zapp; I, too, saw many of the “issues” with her plan as more “but she’s a woman out of place” kind of attitude. also reading from afar, but I have family there
The misogyny she has had to deal with has been shocking, a bunch of hateful white old men set her up for a scapegoat so they’d send in one of their own to ‘clean up’ after the stupid woman who they made cry. They bullied her in a way they would never treat a man.
Our politicians are disgusting. There should be an age limit on politicians, once they start having erectile dysfunctions they should be made to leave office. Parliament is too full of old white boomers who r obsessed with ruining things for the future.
She’s courted and colluded with the sexist trash media and allowed them way too much political power and influence. She’s enabled and benefited from bigotry and disgusting views. And her only display of humanity has been reserved for herself, not for any of the vulnerable and disenfranchised people whom she’s been actively working to harm her whole career. She is no scapegoat, rather a casualty of the same vile agenda she subscribes to. You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
Like someone kicked an anthill.
Praying for our world.
Boris Johnson as next PM.. another emperor with no clothes. Dude is lazy and don’t want to be responsible. Do you honestly think he can go to Brussels and negotiate? Oh it would be a hard leave and castatrophic mess but so is this inertia and slow moving mess.
Yayyyy, as a BAME (British Asian and Minority Ethnic) May’s hostile environment made my life a living hell. More than likely we’re going to get a Brexiteer and crash out, but I’ll worry about that come June 10.
I guess May wanted to rub up against Trumps bulk? Idek why she’s staying on (oh, I know why, so that she can beat Gordon Brown’s record for the shortest serving Prime Minister. May has always been small minded and vain).
I’ll have a nice weekend this weekend. Voted for a Remain party yesterday, and my conscience is as clear as spring water.
Good! How dare she bring Grenfall in to it and say that her party has helped people with mental health and austerity. Britain is falling to pieces because of people like her and the next one that comes in.
Not surprised given the back stabbing going on the party over who wants to take over to finish what she started. The entire gov has been sabotaging Brexit from the beginning.
Boris Johnson will win and he will be an utter disaster for the UK. He was also a remainder before jumping ship when he saw an opportunity for himself. And yes it’s pretty safe to say we will crash out without a deal. And given the rise of extreme right wing nationalism I don’t expect the EU as it is to last much longer.
I want another vote as ALL the parties on both sides lied, admitted they lied, are STILL lying and getting away with it. At least if the result was the same people can stop whinging that they didn’t know what they were voting for. But I suspect if there is another vote it will be remain and that’s why the gov don’t want one.
Either way we r totally and truly FKD.
DU, as a Yank that follows the UK, I always though the results of the first referendum should be tossed in the rubbish bin because of all the non-stop lying by the BREXSHITERS. I could say I find it hard to believe that people believed the crap but USA elected Chump so who knows why people believe.
In the U.K. referendums are not legally binding so we could shove this result in the bin, we have every right to demand another one esp as that result was based on complete lies. People did not know or understand what they were voting for, neither side made an effort to educate the voters either. It was a case of who could create the most emotive headline to get all the votes. nothing was based on fact. It’s why I feel strongly about another vote, people now have a better idea of what Brexit is plus it will make the politicians accountable for the lies the first time.
The call for another Brexit vote gets louder every day and this will make it only louder, esp if Boris becomes PM. The people pretty much do not want him in No. 10.
History will judge all the players harshly but I think May will fair better as she at least tried to deliver the sh!tshow result.
Didn’t the Cambridge Analytica mess show that the vote was interfered with? And with the margin being so small there is no way it should be binding. While Quebec played a similar game with the 1995 referendum, after the No side barely scraping by, a Supreme Court reference was then requested to ensure that this could never happen using a 50+ 1 vote again. I would think they should have done that for this as well.
Digital Unicorn, i’m shocked to hear that the referendum was not legally binding!!! Then why hasn’t it been done again or just tossed out. #Shocked down here in Germany.
The results of the EU elections will say a lot. Given the popularity of Farage’s Brexit party I’m quite pessimistic and feel if there were a second referendum, the results would be exactly the same as the first. A narrow leave win. I don’t believe anything can fundamentally change until the country hits rock bottom, unfortunately as bas as it is now it could get so much worse.
The EU is already prepping for a bad set of UK reps, and what they can do legally to prevent the UK from holding the EU hostage. They’re smart to assume the worst.
I’m afraid this is not going to change anything. The PM is not the problem. There’s no majority in Westminster for any of the options on the table – no-deal Brexit, withdrawal agreement, second referendum, customs union, revocation of article 50, common market 2.0, EEA and ETA terms etc. They’re stuck.
and the amazing thing to me is they keep drawing a paycheck and expense allowance just like the Congress Critters in the USA. DISGUSTING getting paid and not doing your damn job.
Aaaaand the Windrush generation say Amen. May is a wicked immigrant-bashing, xenophobic woman, who made the lives of immigrants hell as Home Secretary and tood for nothing as Prime Minister.
Boris is garbage and will get no quarter in Brussels. Am not a Merkel fan but I cannot wait for her to wipe the floor with this man who has zero integrity.
As for BREXIT, that experiment in nationhood-hysteria will march on…But the world depends on global trade, migration and multilateral trading agreements to give it order. Both Britain and the USA Britain are delusional in this regard.
While I am not surprised that the Tory party has been a mess of little rich kids squabbling, I have also been surprised at how ineffective Corbyn and the Labour Party has been in not using the Tory division against them. He seems wishy washy about Brexit, to the point where I think he supports it when his party does not. Gordon Brown spoke against Brexit recently and while he wasn’t a great PM he seemed far more effective on this than Corbyn has ever been. I really have to wonder if Labour shouldn’t get a better leader to really hold the Tory feet to the fire. This is just a view from the outside though.
@Nic919 – You are on the money with this one.
He seems wishy washy about Brexit, to the point where I think he supports it when his party does not.
Corbyn and Milne want Brexit, but they don’t want their fingerprints all over it. They pretty much have kept with ‘constructive ambigiouity’ until recently, when the remain voters peeled off and voted for Lib Dems and Greens. Cue McDonnel saying that Corbyn was a remainer ‘in his heart’. But Labour pretymuch thought that young people (who wish to stay in the EU) and the rest of the remain voters (about 2/3s of Labour) had no where to go. Hah, a lot of us just decided to take our votes somewhere.
I really have to wonder if Labour shouldn’t get a better leader to really hold the Tory feet to the fire.
The thing is, Momentum (the left wing people behind Corbyn) are still in love with their Messiah. So they refuse to hear a word against him, so Remain voters such as myself are just finding other parties. Labour MPs are actually saying that they are finding it difficult to speak with Labour members who refuse to vote for the party as long as Corbyn is the head of it.
We’re in a pickle.
I would add a few of the big unions to the still in love with Corbin the Messiah group. Unite has pretty much selected the last 2 labour leaders and Corbyn doesn’t do anything without their backing.
I am a Yank who reads the UK version of the Guardian almost daily. All of this is conjecture on my part but from what I have pieced together about Corbyn is that he really is a Remainer at heart but he wants to re-nationalize key industries like steel and the railways but cannot do such under EU law. If Corbyn becomes the PM and If the UK leaves the EU and Corby’s finger prints are not on the Exit Agreement it gives him a much more free hand to do what he wants to do domestically but allows him to compromise for a very soft BREXSHIT or BREXSHIT in name only and blame any dissatisfaction on the part of the electorate with the final outcome on the Tories-Conservatives. I am probably totally wrong but this is my theory.
@BayTampaBay – Corbyn isn’t a remainer at heart or otherwise. His political world view has been fossiled from the 1970s, and in the 1990s he called the EU something akin to a Frankenstein creation. Also, he wants to end FOM and go into a Customs Union, that’s a pretty hard Brexit. Re: the Nationalisation of public utilities, listening to him and McDonnell, they are pretty waffly on that (although, McDonnel seems to be more switched on than Corbyn). Either way, a vote for Labour is a vote for Brexit.
@Bay, nope he’s a hardcore Brexiter and has hated the EU all of his political career. He and McDonnell are stuck in the 70s with their ideals, they are dinosaurs who are full of their white male privilege.
@DoH, What is FOM?
@DoH and DU, What about this Kate Hoey person? Is she not Labour or is she a Conservative that at times votes with Labour? Is she sane? I see her name mentioned very often by The Guardian commentariat.
DU and duchess of hazard are right, Corbyn is an old school 1970s hard-core socialist who wants to turn this country into Venezuela. FoM is freedom of movement, one of the core four freedoms of the EU and the one which Brexiters hate the most (not for them, you understand, they think they should still be free to go to Spain, but they don’t want Eastern Europeans coming here). Kate Hoey is a Labour MP, she’s a fairly dreadful homophobic Brexiter.
@BayTampaBay – FOM is Freedom of Movement. The four pillars of the EU is the freedom of movement of goods, people, services and capital. Tories and Corbyn’s Labour will be to strike off movement of people. But the thing is, where the jobs go, we’d like to follow!
As a Brit i can honestly say that I have never know our politics be in such as awful mess as it is now (and I am over 70)! Whether you agree with Brexit or not, May was a remainer and it showed in her negotiation tactics. Cameron was a coward, backing out instead of facing up to things, May has no idea and Corbyn is incompetent and dangerous.
Am I correct in thinking that Corbyn is a Trump-like embarrassment, and May has the correct temperament? That’s my impression.
Boris Johnson is the Trump-like embarrassment.
Corbyn and Johnson are both embarrassments. They are not showing signs of dementia (as Trump is) though.
I’ve been following this all along. I have a vivid memory of waking up (I was on vacation) to the news that the Remain vote had lost and I felt completely shocked. (I’m American but have lived and worked in the EU on and off over the years, have many dear friends in the UK and on the Continent, and still work in the international division of my company so I travel there a good bit).
That seems like such a long time ago now. Before we shot ourselves in the foot with our own racist nasty election. And if y’all end up with Boris… God, what a nightmare.
All of this makes me so sad for where the world seems to be headed. Right wing parties gaining momentum all over the place…
So do you think the royals/monarchy will not be affected by this?
It would be hard to imagine they wouldn’t be. A no-deal brexit will do so much damage that I’d be surprised if the republican numbers didn’t increase.
Doubt it will make a difference to the monarchy
@Kitty – Not really. I mean, the Queen has held her council for this long, she might have a heart attack when Scotland and Wales agitate for independence and peel off (her castles in the North, the gold mines in the West), but in terms of her place, she’s still there as the head of a constitutional monarchy.
That being said, I keep telling people that if we Brexit, we can’t afford the Royals. Just the sovereign grant alone is going to make people howl going forward.
But can you imagine without The Queen I doubt people would still want the monarchy.
Nah. As is the case now, we will have about 150 more important political priorities than doing anything about the royals.
No to Boris Johnson. He’s too close to Farage (whose ties to Assange should soon be found out). The UK has a chance to get out of the Russian-inspired Brexit mess and strengthen their national security. I hope positive political forces are aligning to make that happen.
@adasta – if only! May blocked the related powers for investigating the dodgyiness around Brexit. Her lawyer admitted that in court. She blocked it because she wouldn’t have been PM otherwise. Things are going to get worse before they get better, tbh.
Tell be about this Jacob Rees-Mogg person other than the fact he married the grand-daughter of one the Peter, Earl Fitzwiliam. did he not campaign with his former nanny while riding around in a Rolls-Royce or was this nonsense made up by The Fail.
Nope, that’s true. His friends (I am astonished he has any) refer to him as “The Right Honourable Gentleman for the Eighteenth Century”. He was born into wealth and privilege and is a well-spoken skid-mark on humanity.
Wait, isn’t Boris Johnson basically the British Trump? Jesus what is happening and spreading in the world, starting with the blatantly corrupt US dumpster fire we are now, is eerily similar to the decade leading up to Hitler/WW2. But maybe worse.
Boris is blustery and buffonish, but he is intelligent. He also has aristocratic roots and would in most circumstances hate someone like Trump. The level of stupidity and laziness exhibited by Trump is basically unique.
There are plenty of European aristocrats who are buddies with Bannon. They’re working with him to build nationalist hate groups.
As a Yank and an ally of Great Britain (re: “the special relationship”), I offer them Trump to replace Theresa May and Duchess Meghan can step in for Trump. I know it’s a generous offer, but please take it!
Make that offer on the Daily Fail and it could happen via crowd sourcing!
I found her decision to show tears completely performative. Her resignation is a political birthday present (!!!) for me, in my office my colleagues wished me happy birthday after telling me she’d announced her intention to leave haha…it’s well understood how much I despise her for her track record when she was Home Secretary and created the ‘Hostile Environment’ since emulated by the Trump Administration.
May’s government’s policy of deporting ‘the Windrush Generation’, who came to the UK to public services, and who in many cases had lived worked and paid taxes for decades…will never forget that cruelty. She should’ve left today.
Maybe she can compete on Dancing with the Stars…she’s got some moves.
And now remember what you get If Trump steps down
That means a no-deal exit. Might as well do it now, instead of dragging this corpse until the fall.
And then Britain can start learning some humility. The unfair part is that this monumental decision was made by the 65+-year olds. But also the youth should have taken their rumps to the polls.
Canber, I agree with you. Humility is right. We in the States must show humility for the abomination at the top of our political food chain, but we also need to get him the hell out of office like, now. Can we have a no-confidence vote for our government? And the Supreme Court? Just imagine. Aw, hell, Justice Kennedy, the swing vote, just retired. The fresh hell of it.
No-deal will just be the beginning. We will suffer a few weeks of food and fuel shortages and then the government will have to go back, cap in hand to the EU, begging for the exit deal that Parliament has rejected.
Having read Celebitchy for YEARS and being British I always value your interest in the UK. Gotta admit that it keeps me coming back; it’s always good to get a world view.
However strange at times!! 😆
This exit deal killed her career.
Prince Harry will have a private lunch with the Trumps on June 3. Good luck and god’s speed to him.
NO! NO! Say it ain’t So!
He had to suffer through Melania at Invictus Toronto, remember? The Trumps demand those royal photo ops.
I hope the royal baby throws up on him.
