Every single person I know or have spoken to, who voted Leave did so because of immigration. Nothing to do with taking back laws at all.
Again, don't mistake the temperature of the nation's voters.

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. I am a long-standing member of the Conservative Party and have voted that way since 1979.

If hard Brexiteers force out the temperate and well-judged Mrs May, I will leave the Party and never vote Conservative again. Obviously I can't vote Labour so I will go for Lib-Dem if there is a candidate.

Don't make the mistake of thinking you have the nation's temperature, you Brexiteers.

A very apt observation, if I may say so. The voters actually like Mrs May because she is straight with them. And is doing what she's doing out of a need to try to achieve the best for the country, not out of self-interest or ambition. Her position just before Christmas was looking good. It's just a pity the Tory party wants to tear itself to pieces.

I completely agree with Ms Morgan's comments. I've said this before, and I'll say it again. For those with short memories, or no knowledge of politics prior to 2010.

Undermining the leadership is a very risky strategy indeed. Just think back to the plot to oust Mrs Thatcher. After a brief interlude with John Major - there were thirteen years of Labour government.

And there would have been more, had it not been for the feuding between Brown and Blair. Brown undermined his party leadership, and the next election was lost by Labour - in 2010.

There's a lesson here. Blair if left in place would most likely have won a fourth term. Labour might well have been impossible to dislodge had there not been a leadership replacment mid-term. Watch and learn, squabbling Tory MP's leaking and dribbling their poison to the press. Drunk on their own "power" as voices courted by journalists.

Absolutely predictable after the pasting in the press for Mrs May all this week. Just how bone-headed are these Tories who cannot see that abetting plots and making critical comments is going to undermine their own position - likely they will lose their Parliamentary seat at the next election. Lose their comfy salaries.

Never forget that the plot to oust Mrs Thatcher resulted, (after brief John Major interlude) in 13 years of Labour government. They would have been impossible to dislodge at all had it not been for the Blair Brown feud. Think on that, Tory backbenchers and cabinet members.

I agree. This constant sniping against Mrs May in the press and on the BBC is undermining the party hugely.

Undermining the leadership is a very risky strategy indeed. How short people's memories are! Just think back to the plot to oust Mrs Thatcher. After a brief interlude with John Major - thirteen years of Labour government. And there would have been more, had it not been for the feuding between Brown and Blair, they would quite likely have won a fourth term. A lesson!
