We should have left and we would be free from the EU when you said. So stress is your own fault.

Roy Prance

Just get on with it!

Gillian Harwood

If you knew what you were doing then we would’ve left the EU months ago. You don’t deserve any sympathy.

Jack Otter

Do what the people asked for.....no problem, no stress.

Pathetic, how can these people even contemplate their job is causing anxiety and sleepless nights, they spend enough time sleeping in parliament and getting paid to do it.

Derek Hunter

My daughter just asked me who I was voting for. l said l’ve put the voting card in the bin - the government has already showed us voting is a waste of time.

Feel sorry for Nigel as he’s a Brexiteer and talks sense on a lot of matters. The other traitors, no.

Travers Lawrence

No, I don’t have any sympathy for anyone in the government at the moment.

Josh Dawson

If we really had a democracy it would be all over, but Parliament thinks it knows best, so this is all of their own making! We all just want them all to grow up and get on with it!

Margaret Andrews

I hope it causes them all sleepless nights. They can’t do their job and what the people voted for. MPs are a disgrace.
