This and other topics on Brexit over the last few years have demonstrated just how gullible, gormless, economically illiterate and delusional Brexit supporters are.

• Well over two years ago (pre referendum) there wasn’t a viable and credible plan

• There hasn’t been a single, even remotely viable & credible plan since then.

• Every scenario the government investigated shows the UK will be worse off.

So, it’s not rocket science that, with there still not being a viable & credible plan, the UK Government and Parliament is in chaos and that the GBP is under serious pressure.

Its not just about money though is it Jimbo . As your in the financial sector i see your frustration , but what about protecting our borders ,making our own laws , and getting our freedom back from the faceless unelected E U parasites .
Last time i saw you , you were working for the oldest democracy on earth .THe E U is not democratic in any manner , shape or form.

correct ,,your dealing with a bunch of mafia thugs who wont budge because they want the monthly remittances to continue .they are all having a good time on our coin, and dont want it to stop.. brexit was easy if the 2 partys would agree on the terms .but we are dealing with a bunch of chiseling bar stewards..similar to mexican narcos .who would never stop shipping cocaine to the US under any circumstances
the only good Tory is a lavatory

Stattoo got it right, [f we were having a referendum it should be AFTER we had a deal to vote on.
It is a bit like asking if the backpack you are wearing contains a parachute only after you jump ....

Two and a half years on and no Brexiteer has even mentioned a plan. It is just smash everything, and start again. Most of the UK's problems were global problems, not EU problems. And Brexit will fix few of those.

Looks like whilst the cat is away the mice are playing .
Tory Mps have the 48 letters to get their vote of no confidence in her , whilst shes running round Europe like a headless chicken trying to get some reassurance of the Irish backstop issue .
If it wasnt so tragic , it would be funny .

So now the pound is at it lowest since July 1997. With Bangkok bank rates about to break below 40, bringing the Pound to Baht exchange rate in to the 30's for the first time in over 20 years

Will be interesting to see who actually challenges May as it seems no one really wants the job and there no clear way forward that everyone will agree too.

Could not have put it better myself.
I feel for the younger intelligent generation (not the glue sniffing, Spice taking yobs on street corners) who are going to have to suffer the next decade or so.
In a decade or so, half of the Great Britannia Brexiteers will have died and left the mess for the youngsters who did'nt vote for this to clear up.
A complete abomination from the start.
Farage and those blatant liars (326 mil a WEEK saved for the NHS 55555) have got a helluva lot to answer for.

Dont forget the Goverment took the remain side and also told many lies.

What is disappointing about your post is the fact you have chosen to stereotype a large group of voters because it does'nt match your own views on leaving or remaining in the EU.

British ministers have got to be the laziest, inept, out of touch group of people on the planet.

So it's taken almost 3 weeks to drum up these magical 48 letters of discontent? If there was any real heart in this doomed putsch, they would have gotten a lot more than the minimal 48 complaints a whole lot faster. After manfully slapping Corbyn in the balls at PMQ's this afternoon and a cordial meeting with the 1922 Committee, the empowered May will ride this one out as the much more relevant 'secret ballot' needs MORE THAN HALF of all sitting Tory MP's to stab her in the back. That's 159 which is a long, long way from the 48 whiners. There's not enough interest in BoJo or that dodgy dark horse Rees-Mogg for which we are truly grateful.The other's are just so many grey men (and women). Anything else would be tantamount to rolling out a red carpet all the way to No 10 for Corbyn. Ain't gonna happen, sorry.

It didnt , but over a third of her own party wanted her to go , so it aint all moonlight and roses for her .
The bigger question , will she get any guarantees from the demi gods in brussels over the Irish backstop , and then will it be enough to get her deal through the house .Still very doubtful on both counts i think .
