She cried! ‘Tis true: the PM cried when she met the awful, hard, grey men of the 1922 Committee yesterday, but, mischief of mice that they are, they went weak at the knees and agreed to let her stay. Tears work, even for feminists.
Were they afraid of being accused by the feminists in the cabinet, in their own Party and in the general public of being horrible misogynists? Or are they merely the political equivalent of a bunch of soy boys?
Perhaps it was simply the thought that keeping her IN means they would have more time to keep Boris Johnson OUT. He announced that he’d run for the Leadership and, as we all know, the Tory wimmin in or out of cabinet don’t want him while the EU’s and Corbyn’s Labour negotiators want a ‘Boris-Lock’ in whatever they are concocting to make that WAB palatable.
Brexit, the fate of our nation, mean nothing in this travesty of a Game of Thrones. Staying in 10 Downing Street or getting there is all that matters to them. And then they wonder why people are flocking to TBP …
First, the ‘Statement by the 1922 Committee’ which took a good hour to formulate – after the PM had cried and dried her tears:
“The Prime Minister is determined to secure our departure from the European Union and is devoting her efforts to securing the rd Reading of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill in the week commencing 3rd June 2019 and the passage of that Bill and the consequent departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union by the summer. We have agreed that she and I will meet following the Second Reading of the Bill to agree a timetable for the election of a new leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party.” (link)
Now let’s have a look at how the whole event unfolded, as far as the MSM are concerned. Non-paywalled reports are here and, with a video clip of Sir Graham Brady telling the BBC, here. Paywalled reports are here and here.
What struck me was that, across the board, the MSM pundits regarded this as a sort of opening skirmish in the fight for the Tory Leadership. The fate of our Nation, i.e. to become a vassal state of Brussels, didn’t seem to matter to them, see for example this:
“Theresa May urged Tory MPs to delay a leadership election yesterday in a move that would dent Boris Johnson’s chances of becoming leader. Mrs May resisted calls to set a departure date from No 10 during a “tense and emotionally charged” meeting with Tory MPs on the executive of the 1922 Committee. She agreed that she would discuss a timetable for the leadership race but only after MPs had voted on Brexit legislation early next month. […] Although she did not name Mr Johnson her argument was received as a tacit expression of support to the other leadership candidates, who are aiming to block his path to No 10.” (link, paywalled)
Doesn’t that leave a tiny door open for her to Remain? You just watch …! The correspondents of the DT have penned a moving report which brought tears to my eyes as well:
“The Conservative Party’s most powerful backbenchers had just made it clear that her premiership was at its end, but the Prime Minister pleaded with them to be given more time. Tears welled in her eyes as she made her argument for just a little longer in Downing Street. She dabbed at her nose with a handkerchief. Yet the sympathy and patience of the 1922 Committee had run out. […] “She was emotional – a lot more emotional than I have ever seen her before. There was a bit of tearing but she quickly got back to a strong view about what needs to be done.” (paywalled link)
Well, what needed to be done – Leave on WTO terms – was irrelevant. What was done was that the PM’s can was kicked further down the road:
“Over the following hour, Mrs May and her backbenchers hammered out a deal which means she will sit down with Sir Graham and Brandon Lewis, the Tory party chairman, in the first week of June to agree the timetable for the election of her successor. In practical terms, it means that Mrs May must resign by the end of June to allow enough time for the leadership election to run its course before Parliament rises for the summer. She would stay on in Downing Street until her successor was appointed, giving the new prime minister the whole of the summer recess to organise and plan before the Conservative Party Conference at the end of September.” (paywalled link)
Note that the vote on the abomination that is the WAB is now a leadership plaything. Yes, it’ll take place in the first week of June, yes, it’ll probably be defeated in the HoC yet again, yes the electoral catastrophe that will be the EP elections will have happened: no matter! The PM and the 1922 Committee want an ‘orderly’ handing-over of the PM’s baton.
Note also that the EGM of the Tory grassroots, to take place on June 15th, is irrelevant as far as those oh-so-powerful mice are concerned. This next bit hits the mark:
“For months now, though, power has been nothing more than an illusion in Downing Street as the Prime Minister has suffered defeat after defeat, paralysed by the Brexit conundrum she herself had constructed.” (paywalled link)
Just so – but the PM’s ‘Game of WAB’ still was the main consideration and this power vacuum just doesn’t matter. More:
“One of those present said Mrs May argued for more time, saying she did not want her departure to be linked to the defeat of the Bill, as it would give MPs an incentive to vote it down specifically to get rid of her.” (paywalled link)
Good grief! Do we need any more proof that this is about her alone, that for her, the reason MPs will vote down her WAB yet again is only because they hate her and want her out, not because they reject that abomination? There’s more:
“Mrs May was told that after a vote is held on the Withdrawal Agreement Bill – expected to be held on June 5 – she must agree a timetable for the election of her replacement. […] As Mrs May was escorted to her waiting car by a close protection officer and a chauffeur, she could reflect on one tiny consolation: by staying in office until next month she will outlast Gordon Brown’s term in office of two years and 319 days, if only just.” (paywalled link)
Now that’s a record to be proud of! Meanwhile, there’s that EP Election, with TBP going from strength to strength. A writer in The Times, a.k.a. RemainCentral, has come up with this heartfelt cry: “Better to leave the EU than make a hero of Farage”, writing:
“The choice is a stark one: leave the EU and cut off Farage’s supply of oxygen or carry on the campaign to remain. If Britain does not leave the EU then Nigel Farage will be a fixture in British politics.” (link, paywalled)
What powerful argument! What insight! Do Remainers still not understand that it’s about our 17.4 million votes which we want to see implemented, and not about personalities?
It’s too late – for the PM, for the Tory Party, for the Remainers in the HoC and for those in the MSM who again concentrate on Nigel Farage. We gave them our answer to the question ‘Leave or Remain’ on June 23rd 2016. They didn’t listen.
Another historic date comes to my mind – and it’s not lacking in irony: it was on the 18th of June 1815 that the 1st Duke of Wellington beat Napoleon. Doesn’t calling the now imminent day when the PM leaves her ‘Waterloo’ mean that she and her Whitehall handlers are all little wannabe Napoleons? And doesn’t that make all of us 17.4 million voters – Iron Dukes? On that note,
KBO!
The following is my opinion and as long as there is Freedom of Speech in this country I will voice my opinion and tell people why I have such an opinion. It is also my belief that when people look at the evidence they will whole heartedly agree with my opinion.
May had a meeting with the executive of the 1922 Committee which its Chairman Sir Graham Brady MP described as “a very frank exchange”. Well Sir Graham Brady you voted for the treasonous and treacherous Withdrawal Agreement. As such, you have no respect due, and shall be reminded of your disgraceful shameful behaviour. You personally are as much to blame for the demise of the Conservative Party as the other 276 Conservative traitors who voted for that ‘Agreement’. This will be a stain on your character that will never scrub out. Why were they all so stupid? Because they put party before country.
May will meet Brady and Brandon Lewis MP, another Member of Parliament who is so far from being honourable. At that meeting May will “agree a timetable for the election of a new leader for the Conservative and Unionist Party”. Who will replace her? I see only 34 Conservative MPs who voted against the treacherous Withdrawal Agreement. If her successor is not one of those 34 then there will be no change and we will still have a PM who is a Traitor.
Mr Duncan-Smith MP is reported saying that the 1922 Committee’s agreement was “deeply unsatisfactory” and “vague, lacking clarity”. No Mr Duncan-Smith, what was “deeply unsatisfactory” was that you personally voted for the treasonous and treacherous Withdrawal Agreement”, something that I hope you regret for the rest of your life.
It is reported that May was tearful. She has shamed this country with her ‘begging bowl’ approach. She has disgraced herself by running off to the Chancellor of Germany behind the backs of the British public and her own Cabinet. She has been deceitful, saying that she wants to deliver the ‘Brexit the electorate voted for’. Let her go and join Cameron wherever he is hiding. May is an incompetent deceitful crony of the EU and as far as I can see the Conservative Party will not be re-elected this side of 2050.
Oh! And by the way. Who the hell is Brenda?
Kim. I agree with you. I think she is mentaly impaired due to years of habitual lying. She is a career politician clinging onto her job while the country falls into the sewer. She and her colleagues show what a sham the once Conservative party has now become. With a few exceptions there are no more honourable men in the party.
Farage is correct when he says the system is broken and exists to serve only itself.
Time for new blood.
Brenda us what Private Eye calls HM the Queen. And Charles is Brian.
So once again May’s ‘plays’ the 1922 mob. gaining yet more time to deceive and lie about what she is trying to do in bringing back the WA for a fourth time. She probably knows it will be defeated yet again but that is not important, buying time to delay BREXIT and frustrate any successor is the goal.
You can guarantee that any Leadership election will be a long campaign to give Remainers maximum time to ‘Stop Boris’ and any BREXITEER who stands. With the EU Commission about to stand down there will be no opportunity for any new ‘renegotiation’ talks leaving the new Leadrer with No Deal or seeking yet another Extension and we know that no politico has the courage to go for No Deal.
Graham Brady was bought and paid for by T.May and his title was the reward. The 1922 Committee are neither powerful nor influential but are all in T.May’s pocket so they will back whatever she wants. As for the tears, who saw that?? And truthfully who cares, when millions of our children and elderly are suffering because of this woman, who has made a profession of destroying the lives of innocent British people.
” …….she and her Whitehall handlers are little wannabe Napoleans”. Can we exile her and them to St. Helena, Viv?
St Helena is far too nice a place. Something like a lone island, no connection to the mainland, no electricity, telly, mobile phone, broadband and no supermarket would be far more appropriate – somewhere in the outer Hebrides, if the Scots will take them …
This seems to fit except the weather is too nice for an exiled traitor…

The Falklands?
What about the Kerguelen islands? They’re French and I could imagine that the French would be delighted in a piece of revenge for Napoleon on St Helena, providing a safe place of banishment for our wannabe Napoleons …
Bear Island in the Arctic, let them live in tents dressed in T-shirts and sandals.
How about Krakatoa ?
Fake emotion to get her own way. How naive to the ways of the world are these patsies? Do they see life as a black and white Hollywood movie? She is not a heroine she is the Wicked Witch of the West. Get rid. We dont need Brenda we need Dorothy. :}
Good piece: https://unherd.com/2019/05/the-reason-people-peddle-lies-about-farage/
My belief is that Theresa May is mentally ill and utterly irresponsible.
No normal person is that thick skinned and no person, especially holding the responsibility of the prime minister, should be allowed to continue when its obvious to anyone with a hole in their ar*e that they are utterly incompetent and unable to hold down the job of most important office in the land. Imagine for example, what she would be like in the event of a disaster or a war? F**king useless. Dangerously so.
May is a social pariah ( she has no close friends ) She is unclubbable and utterly , utterly charmless. Totally the wrong person to be PM. How on earth did it get to this state of affairs?
ONLY when she goes will I believe anything she says. After she does go, there needs to be legislation put in place that can remove dangerous fools like her before they can wreck confidence in parliamentary democracy and cause untold damage to confidence in the government and to the economy. The 1922 has proven to be useless. There needs to be an alternative. A failsafe mechanism to rid us of morons like her. ( The US has the 25th Amendment for just these cases ).
The Conservatives are days away from the most severe kicking imaginable in the EU elections but STILL they don’t force out this stupid woman. It’s up to us to make sure they really feel the pain next Thursday. A UKIP / TBP vote is the only way to hurt them. Make sure you vote.
Just now Corbyn, utterly frustrated by May, finally pulled out of further negotiations with her. The government is a dead duck. Everyone knows it. It’s why we will get nowhere debating anything with the EU either. It’s intolerable.
The Conservatives really only have one chance left. They need to crown Boris Johnson right now if they want a hope in hells chance of surviving as a mainstream party. No one else can pull it off and regain the confidence of the public. Frankly, there needs to be a general election to clear the air but currently thats unlikely.
Meanwhile this hell continues.
from PMB I agree Traitor May MUST BE mentally ill as nothing else explains her conduct.
I agee with you. Well said
To roars of aplause, She would whip down her drawers .
To a shuddering Olly***Robbins.
All right ; But I couldnt resist it.
“Just see what the boys in the ‘22 will have
And tell them I sighed, and tell them I cried,
And tell them I died of the same”
Hmm crocodiles shed a lot of fake tears too…maybe David Icke was right about lizards in high places.
I dunno about tears, blood would be much better.
She does more crying than that kids doll that was all the rage a few years back, can you just imagine this woman making a decision under real pressure rather than the invented pressure of MSM led by the BBC. Meanwhile Lord Spicer writing in the letters column of the D.T said ‘she always failed to make a decision and he doesn’t understand why she has ‘apparently no views of her own – on defence, agriculture, foreign affairs, immigration, and education and above all the constitution of our country which she has done so much to destroy’.
He goes on, ‘whatever the rules of the party, we have to change the leadership. I cannot understand why someone had not already taken this view’
Seems then that she has taken a decision to comply with her masters in the British establishment and Brussels, while ‘Brenda’ who could indicate her views on this and the trashing of our constitution still stays silent.
It would seem then that the Conservative Party is now the ‘ Death of Democracy and Nation’ party, are you awake Brenda?
