[Closed] Should Theresa May resign?

End it!

Shit she's dying!

Someone get her some H2o2 quick!

"I was about to talk about somebody I'd like to give a P45 to, and that's Jeremy Corbyn," Mrs May continues. The crowd love it.

Darn tootin, cos auld Obi-wan is gonna take your job ya ****in muppet.

Choking on her lies

That P45 incident was utterly sublime.

Shocking cough. I'm sure Richard Branson could get her an appointment with the soon to be privatised GP service.

Someone get her some H2o2 quick!

Bob Flemming... genius. well played sir. gagging on Johnson's johnson perhaps..

oh gosh this is funny

all this BS about building homes yet again but nothing on the scam of leasehold extortion? what about me and millions of others in a first time new build home now burdened with this criminal system? no ****s given? Pull your finger out of your arse May and get it sorted cheers.

What's this 'British Dream' lark, she's banging on about?

Is it like the American Dream but with added self-loathing, and a desire for quiet mediocrity

"Total Tax to Date: Ask Phillip"

😆

The workshop of the world,shes clutching at straws with that one don't think anyone will take that away from China...

I'm beginning to feel sorry for her. After everything that's happened recently, then being expected to perform a speech whilst ill, and then being humiliated by a prankster, she'd have been perfectly within her rights to say 'f*** this! I'm off, you lot sort yourselves out'. And she probably would have won a lot of sympathy as a result.

ITYM "everything she's done recently"

[i]I'm beginning to feel sorry for her.[/i]

That's the last thing I'd feel for a home secretary who behaved how she did, who cynically switched sides on Brexit for the sake of her career.

Now the 'F' has fallen off the wall!

Letter fallen off the backdrop behind May now

this is what success feels like. leave her to bask in it.

The guy who delivered the P45 is awesome, I could watch him giving the thumbs up all day. The most british protest ever

The Torries were already struggling to handle their youth vote collapse and counter the online rise of Momentum etc.

That speech just set a benchmark for incompetence and has gifted them memes & gifs for teh rest of this governments term....

The Tory Canyon?

Was that the F-bomb she dropped?

I don't feel sorry for her, not one damn bit.

People have died as a result of the benefits sanction system that has been in place on her watch, while chest-thumping big beasts of the party keep on extolling the virtues of cutting public spending and turning post-Brexit Britain into a tax haven utopia for the world's crooks.

She could have changed it all at a stroke of a pen.

Boris warned there could be no pudding later.

TWitter is ****g brilliant this afternoon

Evening Standard is going to be amusing tonight

Earlier today a man was detained by conference security during the prime minister’s speech.

Officers attended and the man was arrested to prevent a breach of the peace and was released a short time later.

The man had legitimate accreditation which granted him access to the conference site.

In light of this we will be reviewing the accreditation process with the Conservative party.

Even with accreditation, everyone at the conference goes through airport-style searches before being allowed entry to the site.

maybe boris did let him in!

Assuming it was G4S that did the security

Tech troubles during Theresa May speech reminiscent of Thatcher's 1990 conference speech when microphones failed. She was gone 6 weeks later

More like the time Jamie Oliver hosted one of his programmes in a Tamil Tigers T-shirt, as he liked the design, and thought they were an American Football team 😆

She is utterly useless and the quicker the Tory party put her and everyone else out of their misery the better. Although no thanks to Boris, Rees-Moog or any of the other loonies taking the reigns. There must be someone in the 316 they've got sitting in Parliament who has some kind of common sense and ideas.

i imagine the 1922 committee are meeting as we type with the general theme being "WTF", "We can't go on like this" , "Laughing stock", "Useless", "Inept"....

She is utterly useless and the quicker the Tory party put her and everyone else out of their misery the better.

No chance of that. She's been designated as the can-carrier for the upcoming car crash/Will of the People as penance for her electoral debacle. She's a hostage until then.

It's telling just how stupid Boris actually is that he's the only one in the entire party who hasn't yet cottoned on to this, and actually wants the job. Nobody else would touch it with a barge-poll. Rees Mogg ran a bloody mile when he realised they were actually serious about putting him forward

She is utterly useless and the quicker the Tory party put her and everyone else out of their misery the better.

The problem is finding a successor. I wonder if Nick Clegg or David Milliband could be persuaded to join the Tory Party? 🙂

. Although no thanks to Boris, Rees-Moog or any of the other loonies taking the reigns.

These guys have seriously undermined her and seriously damaged the Tories credibility

it probably was the plan, but this is becoming a political car crash of biblical proportions and will taint the tory party, with any luck, for years.

I am not sure he does at the moment. I think it is more he wants pushing to the outskirts of the decision making so can avoid all blame and make a triumphal return once things have stabilised a bit.

The MPs don't want him. He's the Tory Corbyn, he'll never lead the party.

Its been fascinating how quickly May and Corbyn have switched places in terms of the only reason a particular MP hasnt put a knife in the back is because the back is already full up.

Since JC lowered the parliamentary threshold for nominating a leader there's no point in removing him. It's over. He's won.

and make a triumphal return once things have stabilised a bit.

I think its wildly optimistic/wishful thinking to imagine that anything is going to stabilise any time soon. The whole Brexit thing has pulled the pin out and thrown a hand grenade into the British Body politic.

Unfortunately, I think this is going to **** this country for the next decade at least. This is only the beginning. This is the calm before the storm. There's scope for all kinds of previously unimaginable shit yet. Not least both main parties going into full on civil war/meltdown with their respective wings

Unfortunately, I think this is going to **** this country for the next decade at least.

Decade? That's an optimistic perspective. Normally you're a bit doom and gloom about such matters. 🙂

+1 except it's not just about parties, real people are involved too.

I think you'll find that the correct term is 'little people'

To Boris and chums, this is all a jolly wheeze. A parlour game. And like all their other jolly wheezes, there's never a price to be paid. That's for the little people

Dunno. I think Brexit has hit Boris hard. I think it's generally accepted his plan was to lose the Brexit Vote and strengthen his own political capital. He's done the opposite and I think that means a lot to him.

It's encouraging that the overwhelming collective response is one of incredulousness and schadenfreude.

If she isn't gone by xmas then I'll donate some money to a charity of my choice*.

[u]allegedly[/u] she was led away in tears by her hubby madness that shes sticking around ! does she not realise shes only making things worse?

Oooh. Source?

Didn't realise the P45 prankster was Simon Brodkin. He's got previous with Sepp Blatter, Donald Trump, Simon Cowell, VW, and many other. Big balls on him and he keeps managing to do it.

The main reason not to believe this will be the case is simply no one else wants the job right now.

Agree. If it was up to her she'd have gone before the conference. The reason she's still there is because there was no way for her to avoid it.

The bit that surprises me is she hasnt simply walked away.

I'm not sure she's able to. Like it or not her role to keep taking the negative press and then resign before the next election - which could be quite soon!

Nervous breakdown?

The thing is, who to replace her?

There was a YouGov poll in the summer for Conservative party members that rated candidates on their appeal and how much disgust (that was the actual word used) they provoked. The only one who was more appealing than a bucket of cold vomit was Amber Rudd apparently.

There's Boris, a man who could not tell the truth if his life depended on it and who is clearly incompetent.

There's Andrea Leadsom, who would vie with IDS as the least intellectually able party leader, ever.

Gove.

JRM, a man playing the 1950s schtick to elderly voters everywhere, but who does not appeal to middle (aged) voters.

Phil Hammond. In his favour, as a youth he was apparently a proto-goth.

David Davis, still unable to shake off the "thick as mince" label and accusations of laziness.

May really is beyond parody isnt she. There is nothing she cannot make a mess of even her own speech. Its so bad I am starting to feel sorry for a tory PM.

Disappointed that jambahurtmore hasn't appeared on this thread to tell us how wonderful her speech was today. Sad.

hahaha, just catching this stuff on the news, superb! 😆

Gone by weekend, to be replaced by someone much, much worse.

Very funny though......

Everyone needs to hear that Rudd interview to a the end the way he lists [s]Bernard Manning's[/s] Johnsons gaffes is comedy gold Rudd has nothing.

If it wasn't for Mays efforts this would have been the most excruciating Tory fk up of the day, it's all getting a bit Trumpian

Who? anyone with any ability has already run a mile. all thats left is vainglorious idiots.

Anyone who wants the job like boris is too toxic within the party, amyone with the electability and ability for the job is waiting for a better time and keeping their heads down. Unless she forces the issue by resigning then she is stuck there.

Have no axe to grind here and too busy with work - preparing for Brexshit - to watch any of this

Even with my libertarian sympathies, I despair at the state of Uk politics. The two major parties are in total disarray and neither are fit to govern. The leaders of all three major parties are unfit for purpose too.

I cannot imagine voting now if there was an election since there is no one that I can imagine voting for. It was tough last time and then it was best of a very bad bunch. Now it’s impossible.

We are going through a challenging period - economy naturally slowing plus Brexshit - will the whole of government in disarray.

It’s pathetic in the true sense if the word. Indeed for the first time I actually felt sorry for TM today.

It’s all a bloody mess.
