1. Another one of the LIARS that foisted the Brexit bullshit on Britain...

...right after Nigel Farage*, Boris* has the second most punchable face in Britain.

9. May will address Parliament shortly n/t

12. She has been. It's not going well ...

She declared that the cabinet agreed to her Chequers proposal.

The events of today so far don't really bear that out.

She's due to meet with the 1922 Committee early this evening (this was arranged before the current fuss). It's a committee of Conservative Party backbench MPs that basically decides who gets to be prime minister when the Tories have a majority in the House of Commons. She might not last the day unless she decides to prolong this farce for some reason.

2. Trump about to visit during a shit storm.

He rooted for Brexit and now, like the pig he is, can wallow in its wake.

5. Is there news about to break regarding the Brexit-Russia link?

How many resignations does this make? Three?

Can May survive this?

6. I hope not- if she falls, they hold new elections

And maybe elects a government that reverses Brexit

7. This is four so far today

Buh-bye, Teresa!

8. Ah, I learned a new word "Eurosceptic "

10. May should tell Trump to stay home....

he's Nigels buddy.

11. You gotta wonder if a no-confidence vote is coming in Parliament

Pro- Brexit forces think she's botching the job. Anti-Brexit forces now feel more justified in wanting a do-over. Where is her base of support at this point?
