I'll ask again.

Are those in favour of leave, relaying their feelings to their local MP in respect of the government's prioritising of the DUP, s red lines?

Bar the border, both London and Brussels appear content

The deal obviously failed but Labour were going to oppose anyway as they want an election, this is a tory domestic

I think London was solidly Remain but the majority of the provinces were for Leave.
May keeps trying to push HER deal with alterations but its dead in the water.

That's the problem. Theresa thinks all she has to do is tweak her deal, and it'll get voted through. She is quite delusional. But, who else have we got? I don't see anybody in the Tory party eager to take over at this time. They want Theresa to take the fall for this mess, and then they'll start agitating for a takeover.

You nailed it! Baboon Boris and Money Moog fled to the sidelines, but they will be back up front as soon as they can jump up and down on the lady's corpse and grab for some more bananas.

I was in the hospital last with two pulmonary edemas, and the doctor was amazed that I was laughing one night when he she came into the room. And how could you not, it was Trixie May and the House of Monkeys bibbdebabbling on and on and on and on and on and like maybe they had forgotten was time to blitz us with the Brexit vote.

After all the years and and the endless mouth-farting, it was massively anticlimactic though.

she is safe from any takeover for 12 months, if she had any sense she would retire after Brexit but I cant see that happening somehow.
there isn't enough time for another deal, it took them over 2 years for May's deal so unless she gets her deal through with amendments the only deal will be NO DEAL, that's why we cant rule it out because it will be the only thing left.

I'm fine with a hard brexit just so long as it excludes Northern Ireland.

Brexit has laid bare the myth that northern Ireland is no different than any other part of the UK.

That does not remotely answer my question.

I'm amazed she hasn't just quit, and walked away. A woman in her 60s, dealing with this crap day in, day out. Flying back and forward dealing with arrogant idiots like Juncker in the EU. Her husband must be sick to the back teeth of it all.

All I can think is she doesn't want to go down in history as a failure. Surely someone has told her by now, that all political careers end in failure.

Margaret Thatcher crying in her car outside number 10 should be a warning for all of them.

I think most MP's are acutely aware of how their constituents feel especially those going against the wishes of their voters.
the DUP are a sideline to most English voters.
NI cannot be seen as being different to the rest of the UK, that would lose the support of the DUP and the government would fall.

So indulging the DUP is worth it?
