Considering how disastrous she was as home secretary, those first few months as PM weren’t so bad.
At the risk of repeating myself…
She has always been an original thought vacuum. She was useless at the home sec too, somehow her long list of disasters (go home vans, paedophile inquiry, passport & customs backlogs, Abu qutada deportation farce etc etc) were all overlooked and she became PM, her quest for hard Brexit obviously a mistake she only had to open her mouth to send the £ plunging, then came a colossally incompetent election campaign….. And now she is being given another chance!?!?

She’s just been interviewed on Five Live.

Absolutely delusional! Its worth listening too, just as an example of how utterly detached from reality one person can be.

In surely the greatest use of understatement ever, she admitted that her election campaign ‘hadn’t gone perfectly’ 😆

And if one more politician mentions the will of the British people I will explode.
It’s the will of just over half the people who voted and most of those **** are dead.

PM May is absolutely better than any of the oppositions candidates. Those opposition candidates that keep on thinking they can be in govt are simply laughable if not living in utopia. The oppositions live in the past with the mindset of being EU bureaucratic servitude. Absolutely detached from reality. 🙄

Absolutely detached from reality.

May or Chewkw?

I think that she claims not to regret calling the election shows that shes just another bullshitting politician

Teresa May shed a tear
Poor luv.

Less of the former. Now there in name only. A lot more of the latter two

I’ve nothing new to add to the debate except to say that I’m hugely impressed with the inclusion of that particular New Order LP cover.

Funny how the Great Repeal Bill is not going to transfer existing EU human rights legislation isn’t it. The cynic in me might think that the minority government doesn’t give a fig about human rights because they believe that we shouldn’t be so uppity as to expect non-millionaires to have any.

God that was bad
Marr had her over a barrel on Universal Credit, tuition fees, Brexit, election U-turn, Johnson….

She looks like she could implode at any minute, the very opposite of strong & stable

She’s an appalling place holder until someone else with more leadership firepower has the balls to step up. Unfortunately that list is very short. She’s got to be the worst prime minister wave had for a long time and that after following Brown and Cameron. Just when we actually need someone competent.

no one else wants to be at wheel as tbe brexit broom broom goes over the cliff.

Fibbing to Her Maj!! Off with her head!!

Did I see that the massive pledge to students was about 360/year or something? As with all of these things actions speak louder than words.

Anyway what time is borris/brutus on?

God that was bad

#carcrash

I hope every minute of her remaining time in office is filled with agony. **** bitch.
I also wish the same on her successor .

With Boris’s latest ramblings in the press it’s obvious that he’s just pushing her into sacking him, so he can be a Brexit martyr and curry favour with the doddering old racist giffers who will decide the next leader.

He’s the only man stupid enough to want the Tory leadership at the moment. That’s entitlement for you.

Theresa is basically being held hostage as leader, on the basis of ‘you broke it, you own it’

This week is going to be an absolute car crash! A total farce!

Good job there’s nothing important going on at the moment

I hope we get someone competent. I expect to be disappointed.

Phillip Hammond is the only grown up in the room.

It’ll be Boris

Just what we need.

Boris just wants to be a PM. He wants his name in gold letters on an oak plaque at Eton and his picture on the staircase at Number 10.

How he gets there, he doesn’t care. What he needs to do (to the country), he doesn’t care.

Hesaltine has just been interviewed and said he sees no potential leaders of the Tory party that would prevent Corbyn being in number 10 within a couple of years

This definitely. He only wants the kudos of having the top job, even if it’s only for a couple of years post-brexit.

POSTED 27 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

If it hadn’t been for a large chunk of his parliamentary party, and a few fellow travelers (nudge nudge, bin bins), he might well have been there now.

Hesaltine has just been interviewed and said he sees no potential leaders of the either party that would prevent Corbyn being in number 10 within a couple of years

FTF him

Our two major parties are both in appalling states. Labour spout a load of populist tosh last week ( before backtracking) nd the Tories can only come with two pathetic attempts to attract the young. Truly sad state of affairs.

Good job no one is proposing letting these muppets have more say in running the economy

How bad can it be if Corbyn is seen as a likely PM. Brexshit is bad enough without imagining Jezz trying to execute it

Compare Jezza’s campaign for the GE wirh his Remain efforts. Absolutely clear where his heart and allegence lies. You can”t execute his agenda whilst being an EU member state or a member of the single market.

I presume you’re a Jezza fan then, jamba?

Sounding just like the Marr interview –
“What about your policy ?”
“Well Labour …”

Marr was being v smart – different league to Peston

Each question was leading/awkward with the obvious build up to the sack Bojo final trump card

May handled that but ok but has no vision nor strategy to focus on. She is overwhelmed by Brexshit as any PM would be butbisnt good enough anyway.

Who is on either front bench?

I can just about think of 2

The world remains overwhelmed with debt. No easy solutions. Hence populist clap trap wins the day with Trump being the most appalling example

Can we have a coalition of national unity please? All major parties, sort out Brexit one way or another. And sack BoJo now.

Hence populist clap trap wins the day

The trouble with populist claptrap is that when people see FTSE chief execs, hospital bosses, university vice chancellors etc all handing themselves huge salaries and bonuses for no perceived improvement in performance then they too will start to demand the same. It’s all very well you guys in your elite ivory towers lecturing the proles about what’s best for them, but restraint and realism needs to be lead from the top, and there’s very little of that going on right now.

Absolutely clear where his heart and allegence lies. You can”t execute his agenda whilst

Well Corb’s been going on and on about dialogue and governing by consensus, so his agenda will be to find a consensus, not push his own personal programme. Might be an alien concept to a Tory.

Is it worth pointing out that Corbyn is wrong about EU rules preventing nationalisation of industries?

Ok – dazh feed the “proles” snake oil and false dreams instead. Will they be better off?

If they “make America great” again then you might be correct. Over here it’s led us into Brexshit instead!!!

Things can only get better 😯

Ok – dazh feed the “proles” snake oil and false dreams instead. Will they be better off?

How dare the lower orders complain about the medicine they’re getting.

So you don’t agree there needs “restraint and realism …to be lead from the top, and there’s very little of that going on right now.”

Their correct to complain for sure. But what they need is honesty not false promises

The trouble with populist claptrap

Is that it’s still claptrap – and a more devious form

Yep, tories seem light on that…
How much will tuition fee’s cost the tax payers? (assuming a large amount of loans are not repaid)
How much is Brexit likely to cost?
What are the chances of getting any of the things they want – well lets start with something more meaningful than the vague crap TM keeps repeating

Fair to piddling

Theresa May has admitted a change in her party’s approach on tuition fees in England, saying she has listened to voters and fees will freeze at £9,250.
Fee repayment thresholds will also rise, so graduates will start paying back loans once they earn £25,000, rather than £21,000, the PM said.
She said the whole student finance system would be reviewed and did not rule out a move to a graduate tax.
Labour, which wants to scrap tuition fees, called the plan “desperate”.

Seriously though an amazing bit of listening there

The planned £250 increase in tuition fees for 2018-19 to £9,500 will not go ahead and fees will instead remain at the current maximum of £9,250 per year.

So a saving on £750 or £1000 for anyone near the max, a massive step to hold back the cost from £27,000 to £26,000 for a 4 year course, I can see the 6th formers rushing out to endorse that one, that extra £1k will help nicely with cost of living increases. Again no real assessment of how much of this cash they expect to be paid back, it’s hard to see what the real difference is in setting up a complex loan system or paying fee’s. University education benefits the country debt laden 20 somethings don’t.

The more interesting point – perhaps the only one – was the disappointment that the tertiary education sector has so far done little to respond in terms of changing types/lengths and structure of courses. They still hide behind the silly idea that there would be a “comprehensive”/ single price which is barking.

Still we may be heading back to the days of everyone funding the middle classes to further themselves 😉
