So with the Tory government on the verge of collapse and a possible looming Genereal Election with Corbyn about to take the reigns of PM. How long before he cancels the F35 order, sells HMS Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales, and scraps our trident submarines etc.

I wouldn't hold my breath for any of those things.

As much as I detest the current political leadership I can't see Corbyn winning a general election, there are still huge divisions and in fighting within labour that will stop him running a coherent campaign. As far as I'm concerned the palace of westminster should be filled with the current MPs, towed out into the North Sea and sunk.

What makes anyone think there is a general election looming? The Tories can change their leader without calling an election. Under the fixed term rules they don't have to have an election for 4 years still. Polling has proved the public overwhelmingly does not want another general election. Mid term like this Labour should be way ahead in the polls but are actually lagging by 5 points anyway.

Sure I think its time for Mrs Weak and Wobbly to head off into the sunset but only so we can have a PM who has the strength to get us a proper Brexit deal and not some kind of Brino lark.

Mr. Corbyn and his cronies stand no more chance of winning an election than I have of winning Wimbledon!!!!. I have a great sympathy for Mrs. May, having this ridiculous Brexit land on her plate. I'll bet many people are wishing that they had never heard of Brexit!!!.

I am one of them, and I guess a lot of people wish they hadn't voted 'leave' now!!

Apparently polls suggest that the split between those wanting to leave and those wanting to remain has not changed significantly since the referendum.

I'm not sure polls are that accurate anymore

Ok I can't prove or disprove that.

All I do know is that I know people from both sides of the argument and I dont know of anyone who has changed their opinion.

Brexit is already awful but if one of its many terrible consequences is a Corbyn led government then I will weep with despair. What a dreadful state of affairs.

I know what you mean Chris, I guess it is what it is.

I voted remain but I am starting to lean to the side of the Brexiteers mainly due to the disrespectful treatment we have received from the likes of Barnier and Junckers so maybe we should just say thanks and good bye.

EU enlargement has caused difficulties that the EU can't or won't deal with.
