The usual accurate summary from the Mash

I'm loving every day of her staying on, like a paralysed insect caught in a web, utterly helpless. Of course once she goes and Corbyn wins, then he'll do the same to himself and the labour party.
How the heck does someone go through that many years of life without realising that you can't go around saying the n-word!ctk - Member**** in the woodpile FFS!
May will just be happy the focus shifts to someone else, even if it is her party, and hope it stays in the news cycle for a few days. Unlikely though she can manage a few days without another act of grotesque incompetence.

Looks like this is making a reappearance again on the news. Seems the party propping her up was essentially acting as a front for huge, anonymous and very dodgy donations to fund the Brexit campaign
Our two main parties are bloody hopeless - both of them. They never learn and always self destruct over the same issues.
Osborne once more spurting vitriole across the Standard. His bitternes would make Angostura blush
Good job we haven't got a country to run
How the hell did May get herself in the pickle. A lukewarm remainer sacrificed at the altar of Brexshit Bullshit. Amazing....
As crap as she is, what follows will be even worse. Shambles....
She got herself in this pickle precisely because she's bloody useless. Have you read the [url= https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jul/10/making-maybot-theresa-may-rise-and-fall ]John Crace analysis[/url] Hurty?
She's a shockingly awful politician, with terrible instincts. But I agree with you on one thing. What follows will inevitably be worse. And I suspect that's going to be sooner rather than later
So what happens with the "****" women. If she's booted out of the tory party is there a bi election?
I have never been a fan, although did think that she was doing better than I expected initially, but that was from a low base.
In fact her early Btexshit stiff was pretty good and then she totally lost the plot by pandering to the nutters. In truth, labour and the Tories are pretty close on Brexshit albeit for different reasons, so there is no excuse for the descent into chaos.
The current lot a afoul,but the idea of the shadow cabinet being in charge is too awful to contemplate. Starmer apart. He and Hammond should form a mini coalition to sort the bloody mess out.
Telegraph is furious she buggered up the election, they are not alone in this.
@binners she is still PM, so she is getting things done Brexit being the focus and I am good with that 8)
Curious how the other parties where desperate that Brexit be a multi party project except when they are asked to contribute ... oh no that's a sign of weakness and having no ideas. Doh !
Jamba - does the stench of corruption/dodgy deals not even bother you slightly? Or is it just a case of the 'ends justifying the means' for you?
They may be committed to Brexit, but I admire your confidence in thinking that this gang of clowns can actually deliver it, in any form that you and your fellow fanatics would recognise Jammers 🙂
Phillip Hammond is the only grown up in the room. And he (rightly) thinks the whole business is insane!
Chances of the Tory party not going to war with itself over the summer?
Zero IMHO
Starmer apart. He and Hammond should form a mini coalition to sort the bloody mess out
So we'd be cancelling brexshit in that case, huzzah!
Curious how the other parties where desperate that Brexit be a multi party project except when they are asked to contribute ...
That'd be because no one wants to own the damage that Brexits already doing to the country....
Even though Maybots just lost another MP for revealing the true face of brexit & the DUP are busy stirring up sectarian hatred in the marching season, she's still playing a blinder, right? 😉

Sorry you've lost me, what are you referring to ? (genuine question, will respond)
Jammers darling... do keep up
As part of the grubby deal with the delightful orange order, creationist climate-change-deniers, May has shelved plans to make the transparency of political donations retrospective to 2014. Which, totally coincidentally I'm sure, means that the DUP/UVF/whatever get to keep it a secret about who used them as a front to funnel the trifling sum of £425,000 into your beloved Brexit campaign
Nothing remotely dodgy there then?
And a really good look for a PM, being complicit in that type of thing
Sorry! However Binners beat me to it - I honestly thought my post was obvious - I'll try not to be so opaque in future.
Nice to see the Maybot and the unhinged Brexshitters she's now the mouthpiece for now have the [url= https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power,_Corruption_%26_Lies ]Full trilogy...[/url]....

I have never been a fan, although did think that she was doing better than I expected initially, but that was from a low base.
What has she achieved? Protracted Court case to remind her what Parliament is for. Any other legislation delivered? More flips than a Danny M you tube, thrown away a majority and had to bribe the dup? What were your starting expectations?
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 ****ers 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

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. ****ing 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.

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.
