hippo Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Forget the politics for a moment. What does TM hope to achieve by staying on ? does she honestly think she can turn this around and go on to be remembered as a great PM ? - It just seems like a lot a grief with no gain...

villaglint Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Agreed the thinking maybe they'll use her as a lightning rod to absorb the coming storm then replace her when things (hopefully) level out before a new election. She will never lead them into another election that's for sure. That's probably a best case scenario for them right not but it ignores the point that she'll struggle to pass almost any laws so that can and probably will change things for her much sooner.

hippo Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yep - I see brexit as who can get through it in the least bad way - there is no good outcome (Turning youre back on one of the largest trading blocks isn't going to end well) whilst I would like to see a labour govt - they might be best to leave brexit to the tories - I don't see any party coming through it unscathed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2017 Brexit will scar whichever party ends up having to get through the initial stages, which will be a car crash. Every single commentator has noted how difficult this process will be and how bad even a 'good' result could be. The party that goes through with that will carry the can which the shit hits and no amount of 'will of the people' will deflect the ire of people fooled into thinking brexit would turn Britain back into the power or was a hundred yard ago. It's terrifying how unprepared we are. Theresa will be binned once things stabilise. They know she can't go into another election, unless they don't want to win (a move too clever for the power hungry IMO), but now it's too up in the air and there's to much dirty work needing doing. They'll bin her once things quiet down, bring in someone else (hopefully not Boris) and go again, convinced they can make it through brexit without getting shit stained. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Dianne Abbott has type 2 diabetes. Her sugar levels were all over the place during the campaign and apparently didn't look after herself the same way as Theresa May did who has type 1. I am sure If May had known she wouldn't have said what she did about her. I hope not anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time T.May got more votes than Thatcher. I know they're an absolute disgrace and a effing shambles...and yet still, Labour nowhere near implementing their manifesto. Labour didn't "win" the election, they didn't get a majority, they aren't the largest party where no-one hasa majority. The tory words removed are still there effing things up. Labour didn't win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2017 29 minutes ago, blandy said: There's a cracking one comparing the cost of the election to the cost of nurses as well this week. May spends £130m to hold an election, around the salary of 4,500 nurses... Despite her telling a nurse on QT about there not being a magic money tree to provide pay rises. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
