it's like a repetitive broken record repeating themselves over and over and over again.
Well here's a first. I find myself agreeing with chewy.
But I have a plan. Scrap elections and put the leaders on "Just a Minute". Winner gets to form the next government.
The only poll showing that lead is the YouGov one. They did a very elaborate poll asking lots of people (50k IIRC) and doing all sorts of complicated mathematics on the results to make it truly reflective.Which is another way of saying they had lots of scope to massage the numbers any way they want
Or they reflected the previous problems in other polls and this one is constituency based which is much more representative than a country wide one. Also factor in a huge upsurge in young voter registration.
Do you think or hope it's wrong?
[quote=binners ]I think she's probably already well aware she's a dead man walking.
Just look at her body language. The slightest thing seems to get her flustered. Not really PM material as it turns out.
[quote=dazh ]Question is will the PLP now unite behind him?
It's plausible - if nothing else this election has done wonders for his personal image, with people now seeing him as genuinely electable and his personal rating way higher than it was. I mean just look at what binners is now writing.

Which if he losses puts Labour in a really bad position.
Whatever happens next Friday shall be interesting.
Have we done May's Plymouth interview yet?
Q: Two visits in six weeks to one of the country's most marginal constituencies – is she getting worried?
A: "I'm very clear that this is a crucial election for this country."
Q: Plymouth is feeling the effects of military cuts. Will she guarantee to protect the city from further pain?
A: "I'm very clear that Plymouth has a proud record of connection with the armed forces."
Q: How will your Brexit plan make Plymouth better off?
A: "I think there is a better future ahead for Plymouth and for the whole of the UK."
Q: Will you promise to sort out our transport links?
A: "I'm very clear that connectivity is hugely important for Plymouth and the South West generally."
Such concise yet informative answers! I'm very clear that she hasn't got a clue.

No matter what we think of the policies we should at least offer our elected MPs the courtesy of listening to them without hectoring - and that applies to all sides, government, the opposition - the whole lot.
You've seen Parliament, right?

I suspect she's close to collapsing under the strain. She's not up to the job. She looked like a zombie on footage I saw yesterday where she was being asked about the tv debate. She genuinely looks ill.

She really is our version of Donald Trump. Not fit for a position in Government, let alone the PM job. The fact she is PM, and looks likely to stay that way, should be cause for national embarrassment.
[quote=BoardinBob ]She genuinely looks ill.
I'm almost starting to feel sorry for her. If only it wasn't completely self inflicted and largely due to her hubris.
She genuinely looks ill.
[jambafact]Im almost certain she had a stroke.[/jambafact]
🙂
We've not seen her birth certificate either.
🙂
Have now listened to that interview - she's very clear about a lot of things without conveying any of that clarity to anybody else. I'd describe it as a bit of a car crash were it not that I suspect her [s]programmers[/s] campaign managers probably think it went perfectly - she didn't commit to a single thing which she might later have to U turn on. Nor do I think it's likely to put off all those 40+% of people who apparently still see her as the best choice.
Do we have a zombie protocol? Does the cobra eat the zombie?
She does look ill tbh, very drawn, anxious and scared.
I wonder if she'll make it through the next week?
Is this you Rusty? [url= http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/man-who-hates-may-still-a-bit-concerned-about-her-20170601128591 ]Are you conflicted?[/url] 😆
🙂
Not really.
I'm just wondering if the whole thing gets called off if she pulls a sickie?
I think something must happened away from the cameras.
Either a newspaper has withdrawn it's backing, brexit goals have been laughed at, they've already told her she's finished, etc.
She looks completely resigned.
Perhaps her husband said - "Actually it's about time you took some bins out".

A nice sit down and a cup of tea, Theresa?
Whereas Corbyn seems to be fairing well and is looking well.
Neither of them are young and these sort of non-stop activities must take their toll. I am only 49 but I know I would be knackered if I had to go through it.

£50.00 says she's nailed on for the next but one series of Strictly.
If she wasn't such a horrible bitch I might feel just a little bit sorry for her.
I reckon she has piles from too much gary action.

please won't somebody talk to me about Brexit, why does noone want to talk about brexit ?
She genuinely looks ill.
She is ill - and as a result has to inject herself with insulin five times a day. I'd also imagine the PM has been pretty busy dealing with briefings after Manchester so she's probably doing 20+ hour working days as well.
It's a noticeable trait of the left to cast themselves as "progressive" and having zero tolerance of discrimination against people living with disabilities etc. yet there's no end to constant highly personalised value judgements made of people who have a different view (see endless recent examples of people being called racist or scum and this then flowing through social media as a proven fact) or the pretty unpleasant imagery of Theresa May of the sort above and references to her being a skeleton etc.
Having seen first hand the disability and subsequent loss of sight in a type 1 diabetic I find it pretty distasteful - and would say the same of anyone making the same jibes against any other MP as well.
Darn - my hypocrisy filter just melted 🙁
Theresa May:
"I'm going to pull you up on describing Type 1 diabetes as a health problem."People who have it can do whatever they like.
"What is important is that, when you sit round that table, you know what you want and have the strength and determination to make your point and make it clearly.
"Yes, Type 1 diabetes brings a change in one's life - I have to inject, test my blood sugar and so forth - but it doesn't mean there are things I can't do.
"You just build that into your life."

Yes, but I think people are saying she looks ill compared to a few months ago (as in the election campaign is making her ill)
Not sure what the hell that has to do with lefties, disabilities and so on but you carry on linking it all together.

My girlfriend has Type 1. Shes had it for 25 years. I see it every single day and the impact it has on her life. She also has an extremely high pressure job and works long hours.
She looks significantly better and healthier than Fuhrer May (thankfully)
The picture I posted is one of the first that appears in a search for 'May Zombie'.
It has nothing to do with her diabetes, which I'd forgotten about, tbh.
But seeing as you brought it up, she's not just been diagnosed as diabetic, she has been living with the condition for a while and has said herself it's not an issue.
So that's a blue herring.
As is Manchester.
If she's incapable of dealing with affairs of state as well as the election (which she called), perhaps she's not up to the job?
The Tory side of this campaign has been almost solely based on personal attacks on Corbyn, so less of the hypocricy please.
Regardless of her illness she is still a horrible bitch.
Edit. If she is not physically capable of doing the job she shouldn't be doing it.

I think the public has a right to know.....
And for balance, here's a NS article doing a similar thing to Corbyn:

You what? I'm diabetic and I'm not ill thank you. Although I only inject myself four times a day so maybe that's the difference.
Mind you I'd be a rubbish prime minister too, so it might be down to her knackered pancreas after all.
I'm not diabetic but usually look terrible, and would also make a rubbish prime minister. It'd be free long lunches of beer and steak bakes until we were all Ill and the country was bankrupt
Actually.... thinking about it....
I am not diabetic and would make an awesome Prime Minister. How do I apply?
Can you do both strong and stable but at the same time?
I can claim to be strong and stable - is that good enough?
#1 qualification for being prime minister: not wanting to be prime minister
Hmm, here's a couple of questions.
Does Brexit mean:
A) Brexit.
B) Whatever you want it to mean.
C) Independence for Scotland.
D) A chance for your mates to trouser some more cash.
E) Corbyn smells.

doing all sorts of complicated mathematics on the results to make it truly reflective.
Nope. They manipulated the results to generate headlines/clicks/advertising revenue/yet another poll contract
We've seen with Indy Ref 1, GE2015, EU Ref, US Presidential Election the polls are for headlines not for predictions. They have been become a dark art for headline grabbers and clickbait ad revenue
Can you do both strong and stable but at the same time?
I can do strong, stable AND awesome. What we are in desperate need of is a Prime Minister that is awesome.
[quote=yourguitarhero ]#1 qualification for being prime minister: not wanting to be prime minister
I can also claim not to want to be PM.
There is something wrong with her face though.
And that isn't diabetes.
The stroke comment might actually be closer to the truth looking at the photos. I wonder if that's why she's stage managing her appearances so much.
Just curious. Makes no difference to me either way in terms of her being PM.
I always thought she was incompetent.
As a human being however I wish her no ill- but she does need to take it easy before she kills herself.
