The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

[PokerBroker]

Why is Dave hiding and not facing his public? 

Sure, he was out that front door chirping like a wee bird when the Scottish Referendum was on. 

I'm content with my decision to vote out, but thedisgust I have for Farage is growing every time I see hs face appear on the telly. I hope this is now the end for him.  He serves no purpose now. 

why would it be the end for Farage? its only beginning......

Cameron is speaking shortly. Has to stay a while for the "national good", probably wants to resign today

He's a one trick pony, offers nothing to the party is hated on all sides.

Yes but listen to him today

"the UKIP is going to be the new labour party"

he is going to try and landgrab a lot of working class votes and make the UKIP a representative force in parliament now

you might think it will never happen, but its an anti-establishment party in an era where the working class mistrusts and actively hates the "elite"

56% of england has just actively voted tory brexit/ukip. (and the odd labour voice)

you just can't say farage is finished, its his springboard. (sadly, in my opinion)

NB. Love all the remain posters on social media yesterday when the result looked to be going their way, saying let's put it all behind us, let's all be friends again etc. Different kettle of fish today now the result gone against them, with lots of name calling and idiots win out stuff.

This, some straight up nastiness from the so called liberals once again on my social media feed this morning.

ITV reporting (unconfirmed) Cameron is about to announce his resignation.

[AndrewT]

Blimey, he's dragged Samantha out with him.

[AndrewT]

Deffo a resignation speech.

Damn, thats not good news so quickly. (though many will think it is)

The next prime minister is probably going to be a Brexiter/righter wing/Boris/all of these. 

[TightEnd]

what a seismic day. unforgettable.


Cameron says he won't trigger Article 50, will leave that to new Prime Minister

So who is the Stop Boris candidate - Theresa May? Who else?

[Woodsey]

Oof, that's a bit quick for my liking. Oh well time to step up Boris son 👍

[PokerBroker]

A pretty dignified speech by Dave.  Everyword believabe I felt, if only he showed that passion like that during the debate instead of getting dragged into lowest common denominator.

So who is the Stop Boris candidate - Theresa May? Who else?

conservatives have just voted 58% (? i think) Brexit. How does an inner win? (though i thnk May never declared her stance)

voting is membership and MPs

[TightEnd]

Boris is 5/4 favourite

He is speaking at 11am

just a small speech, mind, not much riding on it....
