"63% of the vote is not a big enough majority" insist irony-free Brexiters

The Brexiters in Parliament are tonight suggesting Theresa May should still resign, despite winning a confidence vote by nearly two to one.

Without irony, Jacob Rees-Mogg and those other ERG wankers have suggested the Prime Minister should still resign, while absolutely maintaining that the EU referendum result should remain untouched with a much smaller percentage of the vote of at just 52%.

”It might seem like an inconsistency to you, but I suspect you’re just not terribly bright,” said Jacob Rees-Mogg from his ever-punchable face.

“Theresa May needs to resign and the result of this confidence vote, which I asked for, needs to be ignored.

“At the same time, the referendum result, which was a much closer ball game, should remain as untouched and unchanged as my underpants since 1801.”
