Lreadsom squirming

'Commons leader Andrea Leadsom said she had been made aware of technical problems with the petition site - but she dismissed the petition as not being on the same scale as pro-Brexit vote in the 2016 referendum.

"Should it reach 17.4 million respondents then I am sure there will be a very clear case for taking action," she told MPs.

She added: "It's absolutely right that people do have the opportunity to put their views and that can then spark yet another Brexit debate."'

Yeah they will ignore it and the 48% who have been completely ignored and made to follow along whilst also being blamed for almost everything that's gone wrong.

Unfortunately it seems like May's speech went down well with hardcore Brexiteers, because it gives them more people to blame for why they have got their pretty pink unicorns yet in the land of milk and honey.

check the junk mail folder - mine was pretty quick, but before this really took off and started crashing servers.

Prefer this one - on a bit more of a delay; but has pretty graphs.

Just noticed, at peak busy-time, it received 210,756 votes IN ONE HOUR this morning.
For context; the 10th most signed petition on there (6 month duration) has 203,230
