Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

It's the Daily Express it must be true. Does Martin Bormann still write the editorials?

Re: Brexit, what a mess we are in.

Hi

Well it appears we are having a two year Parliament now.

No Queen's Speech next year,all in order to give enough time to get Brexit through Parliament.

May has got a real battle on her hands, even with the DUP on side she has not got an overall majority to get a Hard Brexit through Parliament.

The other Parties do not want a Hard Brexit, neither do the Scottish Conservative MPs

There are masses of legislation which need to be passed to enable to get Brexit through.

There are bound to be arguments, especially about replacing the EU Money which comes back to the UK, Mps will be wanting it spent in their constituency.

This is the biggest challenge we have faced since WW2 and we don't have a Churchill around.

If May goes, we have Boris and Corbyn.

Neither inspires me with any form of confidence.

I seriously wonder how Churchill would've fared with the same public scrutiny that May has had to face recently...did he walk about and hug bereaved relatives, showing compassion and sympathy?

No he didn't, he was busy doing his flipping job to the best of his ability!!

Well said Ruthio! I believe that there may be a lot of underground activity to remove May, but what chance have we got with any alternative PM? At least Mrs May focuses on the job she is paid to do, rather than trying to work out which actions will persuade people to vote for her next time, as Corbyn is doing.

And he didn't have the media sniping at him all of the time...
