I like Julia Hartley-Brewer's pink leather gloves. And Anne McElvoy's blue puffa coat.

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 19:16:19

BBC 1 of course.

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 19:25:58

Poor Theresa. And she's hardly got any voice left. sad

tanith Tue 12-Mar-19 19:30:02

Oh well and so the saga continues

Jane10 Tue 12-Mar-19 19:30:19

I don't know how she can keep going. Poor soul. No need for snippy comments on that BTW. I'm just sorry for her as a woman in her 60s in a hellish no win situation.

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 19:32:05

I agree. I feel so sorry for her.

merlotgran Tue 12-Mar-19 19:34:26

If I were her I'd be sticking pins in a David Cameron doll.

I keep telling myself 'she volunteered!'.

Having volunteered, she is not a quitter and is determined to see it through to the bitter end.
And it is very bitter.

Jalima1108 Tue 12-Mar-19 19:40:21

She could, of course, now say 'Oh, sod the lot of you, I'm off on a nice relaxing holiday, sort it out for yourselves and see if you can do any better'.

But she's probably too polite to say that.

Feeling sorry for TM is not a good reason for supporting her. She has got so many things wrong.

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 19:42:10

I think she would hate to do that.

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 19:43:10

varian what is your solution to the Irish backstop?

Jane10 Tue 12-Mar-19 19:44:51

It's an impossible task! Nobody will ever agree. Meanwhile the economy will be in deeper and deeper trouble. sad

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 19:49:24

Yes merlot!!! Good point.

Jane10 Tue 12-Mar-19 20:00:17

Come the next general election a helluva lot of MPs are going to lose their seats! The electorate are absolutely fed up with the lot of them. Brexiteers voting against the deal, remainders voting for it?!

varian Tue 12-Mar-19 20:06:01

Gonegirl my solution to the Irish border problem is that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland remains a members of the European Union.

Anniebach Tue 12-Mar-19 20:06:43

Corbyn sending out emails asking for donations , he says a general election is very near.

I do admire Mrs May, the Scots MP just had to mock her croaky voice, sad man

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 20:09:41

Well varian, you never know....!

NotTooOld Tue 12-Mar-19 20:28:43

Yes, I admire TM, too, even though I don't think she has made a good job of the negotiations. Poor woman, having to address the H of C with a sore throat this evening. I suppose it would not have looked good if someone had just read it all out for her. She looked dreadful in Strasbourg last night, very thin and grey. Can't be doing her health any good at all.

Darn... thought you were talking about the Dog Show.
A lovely Wire Fox Terrier took best in show.

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 20:33:05

Ooh, I like wire fox terriers. Well done little doggie.

NotTooOld Tue 12-Mar-19 20:35:20

Did anyone else notice the little girl in the chamber this evening? I suppose her parent just had to be there and the babysitter let her down.

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 20:37:08

No! I wish I'd seen that. grin Quite an experience for her.

NotTooOld Tue 12-Mar-19 20:41:32

Definitely something to tell her grandchildren. It was a quick shot when all the MPs were milling around during the vote and the TV presenter made a fleeting reference to her. She was wearing bright pink.

Gonegirl Tue 12-Mar-19 20:44:22

Her mum's probably got her lined up to be an MP. grin
