    Epic! You've gotta love Twonkbook!
    Massive recycling going on there as it was actually broadcast before the referendum. A quick call to my Italian client who I go to Sicily for told me that Paulo Barnard is something of a Jack of all Trades, master of none. Except in his trained subject of pyschology. Basically someone who makes a career out of saying things to stir people up.
    One example, the quoted debt of the EU. It was actually the combined debt of the member states of the EU, not the EU. And guess who's there at no.4 with one sixth of the total debt held by the 28 EU states! As a percentage of GDP it's better, we're eighth.

        Scum, the lot of them. Now is not the time for personal ambition.
        Expect a statement from a prominent EU leader (or EU representative) today saying that a new leader will not gain anything that is not already on the table.

              Good morning it is my honest opinion that she has done a good job I have always admired her and some of the qualities she possesses and that if she loses the vote tonight it would be adding oil to the fire,I am wise enough (not intelligent ) to know that my opinion on this matter leaves Woo wide open to criticism but it is only my personal view and I am entitled to that,normally I try not to discuss Politics or Religion but on the rare occasion Woos feels strongly about a topic I will say what I think and feel:old:

              I sincerely hope and pray that she is successful in the vote tonight to change the prime minister at this moment in time would create chaos and mayhem:old:

                Big changes ahead , May' gone, Merkel's going, Macron is toast, Eastern Europes going to the right and in conflict with their Brussels rulers and the Italian economy is rapidly going bust.

                  All this kerfuffle about the transition period - what on earth is going to happen when the actual trade agreement comes before Parliament.:noidea:

                  All the others have resigned when it started to get tricky - Tes has stayed the course - yet some tory knobs are trying to destabilise the situation. The EU 27 have shown solidarity in the negotiations, the UK looks like the Marx Brothers with Stan and Ollie thrown in for good measure.:spinning:

                          Looking like she will survive to fight another day - quite incredible really.

                          Much as I am no Tory fan, I do have a deal of respect and sympathy for Theresa May - no matter what she did, at any point in her term, she was going to be wrong according to someonel she has stuck with it, and hasn't bailed out when many others have or would have done.

                          As for Gove, Hunt etc, well they are nothing more than an absolute shower in my opinion.

                            Boris is a clown, Gove I am beginning to see as a pragmatist (not that I'd trust him) but the one that absolutely has to be kept out is Jacob Rees-Mogg. He is out and out scum in my opinion. Thoroughly Machiavellian and nasty.

                            They would just pee themselves laughing and go home.

                            I couldn't agree more FC :blue thumb:

                            I'd go further and have them up on a treason charge.
