There we have it, the ERG will cave, Jacob-Rees Mogg and Boris Johnson will take over and blame Brino on May.

BRINO?

Rees-Mogg wants a hard exit; Johnson doesn't care and will support whichever option gets him into No 10.

Not sure JRM wants what you refer to as a hard brexit (No Deal). True he wants a harder brexit than what May's deal currently gives, but listening to him recently he would rather have a deal than no deal.

And how do you know this?

JRM, like all Brexiters, only appears to have a list of what he doesn't want, and has no clue of what he wants for the UK. (For himself, he's happy if the UK crashes, his money is invested in Europe)

It's in the express, so it must be true. (Not that I doubt that Boris would do anything to move into #10)

It's all a bit meh isn't it ... I mean, who really cares which weasel leads the Tory scum? they're only not being trashed in the polls because Corbyn is just as useless. If he stood down and a more moderate Labour leader stepped in the Tories would be on their knees by now.

meh is the right word.

Now it looks like some Labour MPs are about to quit the party.

...and they've gone

I think they may well be joined by some Tory remoaners.
