yes it was quite clearly her choice to resign and quite clearly no one forced her hand whilst allowing her to "save face" by flying her half way round the world to resign as she really had just had enough and it was her choice....my bad.What was it then, a love letter?
If you believe that can i introduce to my Nigerian friend,a prince, who needs a wee bit of help?
@ tj and sackings Carl sargeant was sacked from the welsh assembly last week but given his suicide lets show some respect please
Corbyn sacked some m shadow ministers over Brexit
Ever reshuffle ever
I am sure Google will be better than my memory
Its fair to say most are made to/chose to resign but there are still sackings
Fairy snuff
Nice to see Chewie back in the fold. I mean, come on, the Jamby login was nearly totally ****ed up by trying to defend this bunch of clowns. At least the Tory meme-generator got the right login eventually to try to put up some kind of resistance.
That is unless Jamby and Chewie are for real, in which case.......Jesus wept.
This bunch of tosspots are unraveling fast - I doubt May is going to last the month.
Face it, swivel-eyes, your pyrrhic 18 month 'victory' is nearly over.
Get in there!
Back of the net!
Resigned vs sacked?, so it’s actually an argument over semantics?.
Ah well that’s all good....doublespeak it is.
Carry on....government business as usual tomorrow?
🙄
It'll all be hushed up and business as normal soon , so let's enjoy every delightful second of watching these ****ers squirm while we can.
Yes and remember if it's a tory then they are hard done by, witch hunt, hounded by the press. If it's labour then string them up before we get to find out what has happened.
As for standards of behaviour they are clear and laid out for all ministers to abide by. Being a government minister elevates you to a position where you are actually representing the government with your actions and should be clear about what you are doing.
wonder how this looks from abroad....

so how long has Borris got?

Hopefully about 3ft of rope on a 12ft ceiling, he’s utterly self serving and has zero useful purpose apart from medical cadaver purposes
Im not sure that Patel grinning like shes just won the lottery as she resigns is a good look, its across all the front pages too

You do know they are politicians don't you?
If you think politicians can be saints, regardless of party, then you might want to re-evaluate your views on them.
PM Theresa May is the Best the British people can have at the moment as the alternative is unthinkable.
Besides, the more you scrutinise the politicians the better they become so from now on ALL of them will up their gamesmanship regardless.
IMO PM May will be PM for a while because the alternatives are weak from all sides (including Tories).
PM May can easily be PM for three terms and I support her because there is no one better than her at the moment.
Besides, the more you scrutinise the politicians the better they become so from now on ALL of them will up their gamesmanship regardless.
hehe
Mays been under scrutiny since she fluffed the election, its really not done her any favours

Nobody wants saints just people who know the rules

Once the skeletons come out, and we fire some more etc.
Government is on the rocks, it wasn't even stable before all this started.

Do you think Labour can better the game? I doubt so. They will get the same treatment if not worst because they are in dilemma now due to the working class supporting Brexit. One wrong move Labour will be gone forever to be replaced by another "working class" party.

So who do you think can do a better job other than PM May? Suggestion please.

All parties have skeletons regardless.
Government is stable as far as I am concerned. Very stable.
What you have just witnessed is just another normal day in politics being scrutinised.
The oppositions trying to bring down the government are just doing their jobs.

20%? more labour voters supported remain than Tory ones though
its definitely a dilemma but as support for brexit is falling, especially as the negotiations fall apart, thers still hope
Brexit was always an idea but no one at Vote Leave, Farage, Hannan, Johnson, Gove, Mogg, Patel ever explained how it would happen, what the process would be & what it would cost
May tried to embrace Brexit & its dragged her government to the brink of collapse
So who do you think can do a better job other than PM May? Suggestion please.
better than May...
this guy for a start

Genuine LOL
Minority
Dropping Ministers
Massive internal division
Backstabbing, briefing against and infighting
It's stable compared to perhaps Italy but not anywhere resonable
The oppositions trying to bring down the government are just doing their jobs.
Nope this is suicide.
Show us your candidate(s) if you think there is anyone better than PM May?

Is that the McTernan whose advice has destroyed the Labour Party in 2 countries?
Show us your candidate(s) if you think there is anyone better than PM May?
My short list, plenty others would be more competent - The PM has a massive record of incompetence in office so it's not a surprise.
Corbyn
Stamer
Hammond
Cable
Davidson

Usual suspects so no surprise there.
C'mon surely you have better candidates than the ones listed. Who?
all you asked for was better than May, that is the short list.
They would have been PM long time ago if they were better than PM May.mikewsmith - Member

May needs to stand down if for no other reason than her own health.
Hammonds the only credible Tory alternative the rest are incompetent or egotists or both.
Corbyn just needs to keep his nose clean and he’s in.

Hammonds is good as MP but [u]cannot be PM[/u].
Corbyn will forever wait in the wings but it will be a step so close yet so far.
Like I said British people Do Not have the alternative.
The alternative will only appear after at least 10 years later, because they are not ready yet at the moment.

Can you imagine how much fun a Tory leadership election would be right now?
Genuine LOLs at Chewie.
Holding the line bravely, looks around "bugger, everyone's already surrendered".
Too busy fighting a lost battle to realise it is, well, lost.
Maybe a niche slot at the end of Fighting Talk doing a 30 second defend the indefensible every week, week in, week out. He could become a kind of cult figure, a General Melchett for the Brexies.
What a joke.
Do as I say not do as I do. Well until I get caught.

At least Chewy's nonsense comes without the sneering.

Since I managed to get the killfile working, my forum experience has improved by 97%.
I'm thinking of organising an office sweepstake by putting the names of all the cabinet members into a hat. Boris or Damien next?

shame it doesnt work on iOS though.

If you don't like being sneered at, don't make yourself look ludicrous my defending totally indefensible positions.
I'll say one thing for Priti Patel, though, she sure can fake a smile!
That's what the oppositions want the people to think as usual.dannyh - Member

itll be a curveball...
Hammond is secretly the Croydon Cat Killer
Innevitibly The Disfgraced Former defence Secretary Liam Fox will get caught up in some sort of dodgy dealings
(check out @Annaisaac on twitter Telegrapgh journo who was on the trade mission to Uganda with Patel & Fox- shes tweeing the script to an episode of the thick of it with DFDS Fox as Peter Manion MP
from torygraph via guardian)Ever the optimist, Dr Fox decided to do what we all do if we feel something has been lost on an aeroplane: he got up from his seat in business class and carried out a thorough sweep of all the rows. Perhaps she had boarded early and sat in a quiet corner, he reasoned. It is an image that will stay with me – Dr Fox hunting through the seats for his ministerial colleague as if she’s a missing Gameboy.Alas, no Ms Patel in sight, and the plane was about ready to leave. We all knew about Ms Patel’s inclination for misadventure abroad, but this took the biscuit.
Whats really interesting is that huge smug grin that Patel had when she'd just been fired, I reckon she has something on May, the Israel stuff weve been told is not the whole truth
Shouldn't engage but
We are leaving EU. That will not change.
The only certainties in life are death and taxes, everything else may happen or may not.
as I said, i can't believe she's that incompetent, and while yes, Hanlon, etc., in this case I iz suspicious. Of what i don't yet know but it's what i'd call a page turner.
chewkw - MemberThey fought until their last man on one of the island.
Correct, and that's merely daft. But the ones that refused to stop after the war- that's you that is.

She has. Patel is a highly influential member of the European Research Group, chaired by Suella Fernandes and comprised of roughly eighty Tory Brexiteers. The ERG is very secretive, there's no list of members in the public domain and they even have their own whipping system.

Those eighty members have enough collective power to force a leadership challenge, you can bet that the conversation between May and Patel when along those lines.
You may not like my response but why didn't they let the last person standing? After all he (the Japanese) was the only person left. What could he do? Why were they (American) so afraid of the last person?Northwind - Member

If you were the last person (with strong ideology) what would you do?
