Because with a government majority of 60 seats any motion won’t succeed

it's the standard answer, there was a fantistic video on twitter yesterday of the BBC trying to interview a Tory MP, a brexiteer MP, and a brexit lunatic waddles up and starts abusing him, only to realise he is also a brexiteer, so starts to accuse the MP of being a traitor for the type of brexit he voted for. It's lunatics attacking lunatics.....lunatic squared.

There will be one almighty vote of no confidence in this government tomorrow.
when the largest series of strikes for 100 years takes place.
will you be supporting it?
or blaming Labour.

it's pointless Randy, you know this already. Tories will self serve and not vote themselves out of a seat.

My daughter is doing a proper wolfie smiff because her school is remaining open. Bover boots and a beret is her school uniform tomorrow.
I suspect her stand is more to do with missing a day off school though

How many Tories do you think would vote for it. We're in a poor state but they're a 100% tw@t party.

Not blaming labour hence why I put an (S) next to oppositions.
The only way to fix these strike issues is to remove the current government.

Don’t forget the government have agreed significant budget cuts to most spending areas to come in after the general election. Like we could cope with cuts to police, health, transport etc etc!

And a 60+ seat majority because of the village idiots (monkeys from the island as mainland EU know us as) of England continue to act like Turkeys and vote for Xmas.

I don't think most people just realise how poorer most of us have become since 2010.
The mantra of 5th or 6th "richest" economy in the world keeps getting bandied around but simply its not the right metric to look at. GDP per head is a better measure nd the UK has slipped right back and is now not even in the top 20. Compare our GDP per head growth rate since Brexit with the Republic of Ireland and it shows you the damage this self inflicted wound has done us

I think the continuing turkeys voting for Christmas is a poor comment. Polls suggest lots of those turkeys are changing colour. Even our own St has changed his mind.

They might be changing their mind now BUT WHAT ABOUT BEFORE this ? We have the thickest electorate in the western world....just a bit thicker than the American public. We've had 'what's important to us manipulated for decades by the right wing press ; who really shape opinion in this country....and are fully paid up members of the Tories....

I think our national position should be used, alongside that should be how wealth is divided compared to other countries.
