AMBER Rudd quit the Cabinet and the Tory party last night in protest over the expulsion of Remainer rebels.

The Work and Pensions Secretary said she could no longer stand by as “good, loyal, moderate Conservatives” are kicked out of the party.

It is a fresh blow to Boris Johnson, just 48 hours after his brother Jo quit as Universities Minister.

The Prime Minister’s minority government is shrinking by the day as he faces twin battles with the EU and his own Parliament in his struggle to deliver Brexit.

In her resignation letter, Ms Rudd — a staunch Remainer — said she joined the Cabinet in good faith accepting that No Deal had to be on the table to help clinch improved departure terms.

But she wrote: "However, I no longer believe that leaving with a deal is the Government’s main objective."

Elected officials as this aren’t “remainers”; they’re more accurately characterized as “anti-voter globalists”.

AND they’re TRAITORS, period. What’s beneficial is that now those traitors are exposing themselves for what they are. The Brexit Party candidates can now run against them in their home districts and defeat them.

Yup, cleaning the toilet is not easy. Interesting to see that the same bacteria live in the U.K Tories as do here in the Republican Party.

Senior govt source: “As the polls show, the public do not back attempts by some MPs to cancel the referendum. Resignations to chase headlines won’t change the fact that people want Brexit done so that government can deliver on the domestic priorities people care about.” Blimey.

The Uk Government is in a grip of a right wing cult and
@AmberRuddHR
has done the right thing. Politics in the UK are toxic, Brexit is a disaster, economically, socially and culturally. In Scotland we have an alternative with

leading the way to independence in Europe.

a staunch remainer - ie, a person whose objective is the stop the will of the people and does not believe that elections mean anything.

Hint for this witch: you are a SERVANT of the people. Your job is to execute the will of the people, not your own in this case as the vote was to leave. End of discussion on BREXIT. Leave.

Boris will get the job done. I’m not worried. It’s better for these traitorous assholes to resign now that backstab him later..

I look at it as flushing out the fake conservatives.

So these elected officials really don’t care what the people want. Just like here.

Politics breeds invertebrates everywhere — Britain is no different. I’d say politicians are no better than a warm bucket of spit, but that would be unfair to warm buckets of spit.

Amber Rudd is a REMAINER from a very LEAVE District.
She won’t survive her next election.
She only won by 300 votes last election in 2017.
She won’t be missed.
