Rolling coverage of the day’s political events as they happen as the UK votes in the European elections 2019 and pressure continues on Theresa May to resign
The plan to release the Withdrawal Bill tomorrow has been cancelled and reportedly May is attempting to edit it as she still thinks she can find some way of passing it and staying on as Prime Minister

Except it's not - all the next PM has to do if a No Deal Brexit is the goal, is to run the clock out because it's the government that has to ask for an extension to article 50. There's nothing in reality any opposition can do to stop it because of the legal position article 50 has us in.
The two leading conservatives in the leadership battle are Johnson and Raab, both of whom are hardline brexit. Not sure which one would be worst tbh.
There's absolutely no chance of an early general election now, neither Johnson or Raab would risk it before some form of Brexit happens.Last edited by MartyG; 24-05-2019, 09:37.
