	Psychic maybe, unfit to be next PM definitely!

To be fair, the benchmark’s not set very high is it? If you’ve got a pulse, you’re a viable candidate these days.

Or (admittedly, this is quite a stretch) perhaps his absence resulted in the meeting being a complete waste of time?

I’m not sure you even need a pulse anymore.

Question Time tonight from Belfast. This should be a good.

I wonder if Arlene will show up with the DUP's take on this week's shenanigans. The ERG might be there to hold her hand.. I jest, well.. maybe.

How come the Independent Group are less acceptable than Hamas and Hezbollah?

502 Bad Gateway. Is someone trying to block it?

Loz worried about the response and doing a DDOS?

Nah, it was merely showboating by the PM in calling for the meeting. Get them all in a room and 'Maysplain' why her fatally flawed withdrawal agreement is good for the country. Its clear she doesn't give a damn about what anyone else thinks, its her deal or the highway. And in any case Corbyn had a 20 min phone conversation with her later so that box was ticked.

Just to be clear I think they are both useless in the face of Brexit.

No, not Loz. He's feeding his cats.

EDIT: my link now says site down for maintenance.

It's gone viral and crashed, allegedly. Mind you, it was widely reported across the media this morning, and the crash came shortly after it reported as receiving 1,000 signatures per minute.

I saw this petition a few weeks ago and it had around 60k, so well done Theresa for inspiring over 500k people to sign it.

Having watched the PM's rant again this morning, she can effing do one, the stupid cow! A favourite phrase of my dad's sprang to mind... "Never trust a smiling cat." Well she had her claws out last night, and people in Brussels have been heavily hinting that's the side of her they've been seeing all along. Utterly intransigent.

Keep those sunglasses to hand, Loz. You'll need them to hide the tears.

Do petitions require maintenance?

Or is this BS-talk for "it crashed".

I'm pretty sure it crashed. If I'm not mistaken, I think it's the biggest petition response ever on there, and it was getting 1000 signatures per minute earlier on. Don't suppose UKGov gave it enough budget to cope with that

will be good to see where it ends. logically, it needs more than 17 million signatures then you could genuinely say "right, look, things have changed" below that its just reflecting the referendum of 2016.
