JACOB REES-MOGG made another desperate public plea today for Tory MPs to force a vote of no confidence in PM Theresa May by warning that they will be stuck with her as leader for the next general election unless they act now.
The leader of the pro-Brexit European Research Group (ERS), which is highly critical of Ms May’s plans for leaving the EU, claimed that there was little enthusiasm among Conservative MPs for her to take them into the next general election, due in 2022.
His attempt last week to garner more support for a vote of no confidence was mocked as “a bit Dad’s Army,” as his plan to topple Ms May descended into farce.
Starmer sabotaged Labour with his second referendum campaign, mobilising a liberal backlash that sincerely felt progressive ideals were at stake — but the EU was then and is now an entity Britain should have nothing to do with, explains NICK WRIGHT
