As an american I don't let myself have a large opinion on brexit. But. theresa_may having a shitty time does make me happy.

The House of Commons are flooded with old men that are like Fossils... outdated egotistical ass-holes... No wonder the World is in such a mess

Hope this goes as bad as possible for the formerly glorious British empire. Karma’s a stuck-up bitch having her afternoon tea. LMFAO

What a mess ! How any of this is the future of trade is absurd . Dare the government allow another referendum that is not manipulated by outside interference I believe most would stay within the union

Not big deal... part of Ireland 🇮🇪 are in EU and another in U.K. what big difference... leave as was before... UK better of without EU as they should clearly know who is running EU...

She is finished.Kaput.

Isn't the Queen supposed to fix this?

The stupid Brits have fallen squarely into the trap vladimirputin set for them! So sad to see how such a powerful empire gets destroyed by its own people's utter stupidity!

I like Theresa May, she is brave, but I still think Brexit is a bad idea.
