I think its even more telling that non of the big Tories have piped up yet even in defence of May and the result.

Plotting or holding their tongues while May plans her new cabinet?

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

May has very definitely painted herself into a corner especially with having to get into bed with the DUP, that really is going to come back to bite her.

This. It shows that she is putting her own interests above what is best for the nation.

She needs to go.

No, because i'm not a May supporter. That's for those lot to do.

Heidi Allen speaking out against May's speech on LBC. First of many?

Not at all, but I would be interested to hear an honest account as to the potential fallout of this deal.

Consider if Labour was propped up by Sinn Féin, would you view that as a betrayal of the neutrality of Northern Ireland?.

My local MP is Heidi. I voted Labour but would happily vote for Heidi if she wasn't also weighed down by May's baggage. Very outspoken and from what I've seen pretty moderate, fair, and open handed. Keep an eye on her in the future, she could go far.

Doesn't make a difference - Con/DUP still have a parliamentary majority.

But its very dependent on her pro EU members not throwing the dummy out the pram and derailing everything. There are probably some in Labour that don't share Corbyn's vision of Brexit though either since many Labour supporters voted Brexit and want controls on immigration to curb competition in the jobs market.

We have the last laugh. When we mess up your country we can just have a pole to join the free state and get into the EU!!!!

Lmao @ all the dullards on here bragging how they paid £3 to vote for Corbyn and how it was the best money they've ever spent.

Hubris.

From what shes saying, she sounds like a small c conservative. Essentially saying that the manifesto and campaign was out of touch. I certainly agree.

They're a bit regressive, no?

 

[StriderX]

Why the hell is she staying on?

 

[Hagar]

This. It shows that she is putting her own interests above what is best for the nation.

She needs to go.

The alternative being?

Labour + LD ~273 seats. LD says they will not work with any other party in government and may hold out for their 2nd referendum.
Labour + SNP ~297 seats. SNP would hold Labour to their nationalist demands, at least as onerous as the DUP.

Greens would add one seat to either option.

not compared to the other parties we get to choose from

"Yay, let's be like Belgium" is not a message I thought to ever hear.

Well in Belgium they say "God, lets not be like the UK"
