Bit by bit, slowly but surely, the folly of what they have committed to doing is beginning to hit home to Brexiteers. And they have started to turn on each other in the most vicious manner imaginable.

'Those in Government who favour leaving nuclear body Euratom are morons', says former Vote Leave campaign director

Dominic Cummings also criticised the 'truck loads of crap ideas' from Theresa May’s first nine months in office


Government officials who favour leaving the nuclear body Euratom are “morons”, according to the former campaign director of Vote Leave, who also criticised the “truck loads of crap ideas” from Theresa May’s first nine months in office.

Mr Cummings, who was one of the most prominent back-room operatives in the Vote Leave campaign during the EU referendum, launched the tirade on Twitter, suggesting it was “near-******** on every dimension” to want to leave the nuclear body.

It comes after the former Conservative culture minister Ed Vaizey and the senior Labour MP Rachel Reeves used a joint article in the Sunday Telegraph to condemn the decision to pull out of Euratom, the European civil nuclear regulator, which is underpinned by the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

[....]

Although the treaties relating to Euratom are separate to those keeping Britain in the EU, the agency requires members to be under the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), which Ms May has insisted the UK must withdraw from as part of Brexit.

[.....]

Mr Cummings, who was also a special adviser to Michael Gove, also urged those in the Cabinet, including Boris Johnson and Mr Gove, to urge the Prime Minister leaving Euratom is “unacceptable ********” and “must be ditched or she will be”.

He continued: “Use first fortnight of August to ditch truck loads of crap ideas foisted on us by shambolic 1st 9 months of May government, reboot."

Tory MP describes leaving the EU without a deal as the 'real n*****r in the woodpile'



Theresa May is facing calls to suspend a eurosceptic Conservative MP who described leaving the EU without a deal as the “real n*****r in the woodpile”.

Anne Marie Morris, the MP for Newton Abbott, made the remark this morning during a meeting of eurosceptics in Central London.

The Prime Minister, who is holding onto a fragile Tory majority, is under pressure to remove the whip from the MP.

Oh dear oh dear!
 
Wonder what position this puts Corbyn in? He backed Brexit on the basis of democracy, does that mean he could now clean up the UKIP vote? Haha, MayHem

Corbyn should simply sit back and watch the Tories rip each other apart. And then clean up when the election is called.

A year ago Theresa May was gloating during Prime Ministers Question Time and telling Corbyn that this was to be the last time he would be facing her in his role as the Opposition Leader since he was about to be removed by Labour MPs as leader of the Labour Party.
Oh how the tables have turned.
 
[MENTION=4930]Yossarian[/MENTION], Definitely! It was the same when Corbyn jocularly mentioned "a strong and stable government in waiting" during PMQs. That must have set off a cacophony of noise inside her arrogant head.

I think Corbyn shouldn't get too excited and if he was a shrewd politician he'd patronisingly sympathise with the PM and her predicament to confuse the Tories even more. Being the principled man that he is, he's calling for an election and I don't think the fragility of the electorate's opinion will want to hear that so soon. The Tories are playing the parliamentary unity card and it makes him look divisive in the interest of party politics, which is essentially what they all work towards but with the sly subtlety that only populist careerist politicians are capable of.

I posted the above almost exactly a year ago.
