Paul Dacre was a May supporter, but many Mail readers must be so confused, the new editor using the same language used by the previous editor but in reverse. But it shows what happens if your views are formed or directly influenced by that of the paper you read - it ends up lacking consistency and cohesion when the editors change. The Mail has done a complete about face in the space of a few weeks, itself now a conflicted and contradictory shambles.

Vehemently apposed to Boris as well.

The website is quite hilarious now. One minute a there’s a pro Brexit, anti eu story, then the next story is anti Brexit. The comments make hilarious reading when the commenters are confused as to why they are suddenly reading an opposing opinion.

They can't just call it off, what little trust will be gone and the next election will be handed to Labour.

They have to be seen to be doing everything they can to deliver "the will of the people" until there's enough public concensus for a second referendum.

I don’t think Labour can be confident about any election with their ultra-socialist leaders.

You mean the ones that want to implement a lower taxes than Thacther?

[Cuttooth]

Is The Telegraph going to pick up the mantle of most batshit right wing newspaper now Dacre's left The Mail?

I hate that person. I don’t know him but I hate him and anyone who listened to that comment and thought yeah he’s right.

‘Brexit. Not as bad as World War 2.’

Brilliant.

Michael Portillo tonight: “this deal is worse than staying in the EU. The [voting down of] the deal will trigger a general election.”

Unanimously on This Week the belief that this deal has no chance in hell getting through parliament.

[Squinty]

That Faisal lad counted the letters in that they know about and it came to a significantly less number, not even in the 20's. He conceded that no one really has a clue. It's entirely possible this could just be a threat.

These strawberry floating morons

I was under the impression the ERG had around 70 members so surely getting 48 should have been easy? Typical bullshit Tories, not a pair of bollocks between them.

All they seem interested in doing is pointing out problems with the deal but whenever asked for what they would do to better it, no answers, all slopey shoulders and denial of any responsibility.

It’s always WW2 with these banana splits.

Imagine if the bus had been accurate. “We don’t send anywhere near £350 million a week to the EU, but why don’t we make things almost as bad as WW2!”

[Hypes]

The 1922 committee needs 48 letters. So far it isn’t even close or we’d know all about it. I’m not convinced that they’ll get 48 but if they do it’s then reliant on someone actually wanting the job enough.

Also the first candidate is the one seen as the knife wieldee and they don’t win in the end. What a lot of the brexiteer lot may well be thinking is that they only have to defeat this deal in the commons to get a no deal which they would be happy with.

It may be that Mogg has jumped the gun.

Like I’ve said before - interesting times.

They need 48 letters of no confidence for a general vote of confidence among the Tory MPs.
If May loses she has to stand aside, if not there's no confidence vote allowed for a year. There's no challengers/candidates yet

It's so bloody aggravating, why are they so hung up on it? strawberry floating get over it already, it finished 73 years ago.
