EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I wonder if the other 'independents' knew that Umunna was their leader?

I'm reading he did the exact opposite...

Since, as they have said all along, they are not a party and don't have a leader.

They've agreed he's their spokesperson I think.

Oh fuck off.

He needs to act like a grown up, not a petulant child. All he's done is hand May yet more ammunition so she can stand up shortly, say "I tried to meet with all the party leaders, but Mr Corbyn walked out" and he looks like the one obstructing here, not her.

Why? They are a group of MPs. If the point is to reach cross party consensus (not that I think May is really capable of that, but that's a different point) why shouldn't all party leaders attend?

Even if he thought it was hopeless, this is a national crisis. Corbyn won't force any other discussion by leaving, all he'll do is allow May to say she tried and Corbyn wouldn't even attend. He's handing her an open goal. Sit it out, try and say your piece, and then you can brief all you like afterwards that the meeting wasn't what you thought you'd be getting. But as it is, it looks like pure arrogance from Corbyn

anyway. the racist stick insect is about address the nation.

May's battery is at 12% so her announcement is delayed.

simmer down mate.

This is a national crisis of May's own making, and she is still trying to orchestrate events.

Corbyn demanded a bilateral meeting with the PM, took up the offer of a meeting with party leaders, and got a "fuck you I think I'm still in charge."

There was no sensible reason to include the self-appointed temporary leader of a temporary movement.

have we tried breaking stuff yet? that usually gets people's attention.

Works well in France but not here unfortunately.

And if it was a trap she laid to set him up, he responded exactly as she would have wanted.

Otherwise, as an outsider, it doesn't seem stupid or unreasonable to invite the spokesperson for a dozen MPs.

Marmor Stein und Eisen bricht nur die Tory und die Labour Party nicht.

"I'm on you side"

Fuck off and die

knife crime u guise!

what the fuck was that?

A waste of time?

Which is her main strategy.

Although to call it a strategy is being very generous.

or even worse jesus christ

Have to agree with Tommmmmmmmmmmmmm - chuka isn’t there because of his massive voting block and his close alignment with May on brexit.

Word. That was from a parallel universe.

Sit it out, try and say your piece, and then you can brief all you like afterwards that the meeting wasn't what you thought you'd be getting. But as it is, it looks like pure arrogance from Corbyn

Brief all he likes the media wouldn't have reported on that.

Maybe, but so what? Can't Corbyn act like a grown-up rather than reacting?

Isn't he supposed to be the super-principled one?

and then just walking away. If only she carried on, out of the front door. wtf
