We will split. We hate each other,

We will do whatever we need to do to kill hard Brexit. She does not have a mandate for it.

Slow news day on the Guardian duty desk!

Objectively, it seems to be a minority in the party that back a scorched earth approach on either side of the referendum result. They understand the alternative: Korbyn. For example, Hammond is spitting blood behind the scenes, "street fighting", but he was clearly following the White Paper line in public this morning. It could all fall apart, but I don't think any of them want Korbyn on their conscience and, let's be clear, he'd win in the near term.

Incidentally, do you want them to fall apart? Do you want Korbyn?

You do know that it is actually spelt Corbyn or should we start calling May ****?

You can call her whatever you'd like. Indeed, I believe you do. Korbyn is an utterly disingenuous Marxist ****. Some of us are old enough (or pay sufficient attention) to remember precisely what an utter **** he is. Does that help?

He's still not as much of a **** as the current UK government and they're the ones leading you, Corbyn in fact has never been in power so there is no way of telling if he is a ****...

And as we all know, they're not the ones leading YOU, so do feel free to take your ball to a different pitch and play with yourself.

Indeed I do, sasguru hit the nail on the head, what a shower of sh*t

I think the tail has pretty much wagged itself free from the dog when you want a hard left gov't as the price for delivering a softer Brexit.

The Tory party are unable to govern and offer one option only of trashing the economy,

Nationalisation of the post office is daft indeed, but is harmless in comparison to the hard right stupidity of the Tories. In any case I don't believe Corbyn will get a majority, it will probably also be a minority government.

One of the reasons the UK is in this mess is because a substantial number of the older middle class voted for Brexit; it would be good for their soul to pay some extra taxes to help out some of the younger people they shat all over.
