    So who is going to be the next Tory leader:

    The one who lied on a bus - 6/1
    The one who lied about impact assessments - 8/1
    The one who lied to Parliament and resigned - 10/1
    The one who lied and didn't resign - 15/1
    The one who destroyed the NHS - 20/1
    The one who didn't know the UK was an island - 8-1

    I suspect none, May won't lose the vote...so that'll be:

    The one who is a robot and speaks in soundbites - 2/1
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      So it will be the one who lied and said there is a deal when in fact there is just a series of intentions.

        She's been very clear that it is a deal.

            What will a new leader achieve? Brexiteer (who exactly?) going for 'no deal' or remainer going for people's vote to allow Article 50 to be revoked before end of March? Otherwise it's same tulip different arse.

            Bozo has had his haircut, that makes him somehow more suitable to lead the country.

            One thing's for sure, brexit has already led to a shortage, of popcorn.
            Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

              What's this? The Tory party voting to see if they have changed their minds from the decision that they made in 2016. Interesting idea.

                It's only allowed to have another vote if it suits the brexiteers

                  Pretty much this. Doesn't matter who the leader is, Parliament still have the same problems - no support for "No Deal", no support for May's Deal, told by the EU that there is no re-opening May's Deal, no time to renegotiate anyway, no clear idea on what they want to renegotiate for, no time (probably) for a People's Vote, no consensus on what the question(s) should be in a PV anyway, no balls to decide amongst themselves whether to revoke or not.

                    Default will be a no deal on the 29th March 2019 unless something else is negotiated and agreed.

                    No deal it is then.

                      Not quite, but it's semantics. The default is that we exit the EU on the 29th March, this is laid down in the Withdrawal Act approved by Parliament.

                      To exit with a deal requires a deliberate decision by Parliament to approve any available deal and to ratify through Acts of Parliament. It might be something else negotiated and agreed, or it might be May's Deal. There is currently no support for May's Deal.

                      To exit without a deal requires a deliberate decision by Parliament to not unilaterally revoke, or to not direct the Government to unilaterally revoke. There is currently no support for sleepwalking into No Deal.

                      There is also the option of revoking, which also requires a deliberate decision by Parliament/Government. There is currently no (or at least unknown) support for revoking.

                      Whatever the UK does will be a deliberate decision by our sovereign Parliament, which collectively does not support any of the options available. Interesting times...
