British Steel are apparently asking for a £30 million loan to survive. It’s not forthcoming. If they don’t get it ... over 25k jobs disappear. Upon hearing this I instantly thought of Grayling and his expensive idiocy.
It's a new currency unit:-
1 GraylingFuckUp = £30mm
As in:-
"
British Steel are apparently asking for just a 1 GraylingFuckUp loan to survive.

His current tab equals 900 British Steel bail-outs.

A Grayling Brexit, now that’s something I could get behind.

This is worth a read, from a former Tory MEP on the state of the Tory party;

I agree with @andyp - lots of variables but that seems as good a guess of what might happen as anything.
Although you can't trust anything TM says, I suspect she might be right about the risk of Brexit not happening at all if her deal doesn't get through.
I don't know who will end up in the final two for the Tory leadership but whichever one is a Brexiteer will win. I suspect it won't be Johnson as the stop Boris brigade within the party are bigger than the pro-Boris grouping.

Her incapacity persuasively to explain the reality of Brexit to her Party has bequeathed it and her country a dangerous legacy, which will be played out in the leadership contest of the next few months.
While she has made many, many mistakes, you cannot make the likes of Rees-Mogg and others listen.
Once the Tory party doesn't care about businesses/One Nation approaches anymore, what is it actually for? (being nice here, but that's how they've always seen themselves)

The SNP’s Joanna Cherry says some EU citizens will not be able to vote in the European elections because, with the elections taking place at the last moment, councils did not have the time to send out forms for people to sign saying they would not be voting elsewhere. Will May make sure those forms are available at polling stations?
May says, if MPs had voted for her deal, the elections would not be taking place.

Yeah, that's good.

Trying to get rid of your leader the day before an election is an interesting move. A sign of the times.

Poor choice of words here, sounds like they're bottling it now.

Can't she just not take these meetings that they're all demanding with her? What are they going to do, my understanding was they couldn't try to move her till next December anyway

Ha ha!
I think that the risk of being written in to the history books as him/her-wot-dunnit is something everyone is trying to avoid.
Grayling seems impervious to his fuckups but they are small fry compared to the potential fallout from a 'grabbed, parliament bypassed' no-deal, which would be firmly levelled at the guy in the wheelhouse at the time.
But yeah they'd take a no-deal if parliament was seen to endorse or sleepwalk in to it.
