Johnson just said 'think what we can achieve in your lifetime' to a room full of OAPs 😆
I don't really disagree with anybody else's assessment of May's performance at the Home Office - the key word there is "seem".
Boris has raised the dead with his speech (well, the nearly dead, judging from the pictures)

He might be a charlatan and a **** but he does do a good line in oration, even if the message is lacking.
Follow that Mrs May.
What are these conferences all about?
Is it just an adult version of the house public speaking competition my school used to have for people who were shit at games?
That is a truly awesome pic! If only the Brexit referendum had been a couple of years later...
Looks like there's been a lot of coach trips heading from Eastbourne care homes to Manchester for the week. The place must be deserted. I wonder if their east European care workers came up with them?

Poor Johnson
[url= https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/oct/03/sirte-can-become-a-holiday-destination-if-it-clears-the-dead-bodies-says-johnson ]He's trying soo hard to get sacked [/url] so he can snipe from the backbenches (like cowardly Mogg- still able to claim brexishambles not his fault)
But May just to weak to sack him !! 😆 😆
He's gonna have to step it up, motorboating Merkel at his next trip to Germany
Just a couple of days ago TM was talking about the delights of the free market. Today she announces that the market has failed to provide housing.
#smellofburningrubber
Free markets???
She’s a politician and an instinctive meddler
The market makes more from limited housing stocks...
The bigger problem she has is building too much crashes her voters portfolios
In any other world, Johnson saying that we need to "clear away the dead bodies first" would be the fastest suicide note in political history. That the media are asking "Can May sack him?" demonstrates where the centre of power of our govt isn't.
Disgraceful weasling out of the question from Damian Green* on Today this am.
Backbenchers are starting to call for action / resignation on the comment above. What does Damian Green think? 'That we should all reflect on how our words can get taken out of context and be sensitive'
These weren't 'out of context' - they were calculated to provide a laugh and a laugh they got. Now, I too occasionally make an improper comment to get a laugh but I'm not the Foreign Secretary and I have no desire to be, and even I'd baulk at doing it on TV. We expect, nay demand, better from the people that allegedly represent us on the world stage. And if the response to YET ANOTHER BoJo gaffe is to 'reflect on sensitivity' - WTF would it take for people to act?
For a supposedly very clever man he behaves like a ****ing idiot. And anyone that defends him is too.
* also a Reading fan, which would normally bring forgiveness for most things in my eyes, there's only so much torment a soul can bear. But I wish Mr Green a lifetime of playoff defeats, that's how much I think of him.
[i]Ha, ha haaaaaaaa..... it'd be a great place to go on holiday if it wasn't for all the dead brown people[/i]
Take away the bumbling Eton phraseology, and the accent and he's basically Bernard Manning
WTF is anyone still excusing this with "oh its just Boris being Boris" as Damien Green effectively did this morning. How are people falling still for this ludicrous routine?
The problem is that while he's clearly just provoking her into being sacked, so he can become a martyr to 'his' Brexit cause, it not only illustrates her weakness but also calls out her judgement, as anyone with anything between their ears was incredulous that she'd appointed him as foreign secretary in the first place.
It was an act of short-term, panicked expediency, and a single shred of political nouse would have told her that it/he would rapidly bite her on the arse
So in the meantime, we can all look forward to this obnoxious, racist buffoon being the voice of Britain abroad, and look forward to more of the same
Didn't Damien Green make millions of water privatisation, that's led to 1/3rd of everyones bills paying off hedge fund debt?

Another great argument for Corbyns agenda!
May's speech today again totally overshadowed by Johnson's yesterday (he even threw in a wannabe Frankie Boyle joke last night for extra attention)

you've got to get this stuff from somewhere, and at least that was written by professionals.
It's great fun watching Boris' increasingly desperate attempts to get himself sacked. Anyone know what trips he's got lined up and who he'll have the best opportunity to offend next? Davis has pre-announced his own resignation too, though it seems optimistic to assume he's going to last that long. Or indeed any of them.
Amber Rudd is presently being interviewed on Five Live. It's an absolute masterclass in non-committal flannel. She's been talking for ten minutes solid now and hasn't said a single thing
Just a couple of days ago TM was talking about the delights of the free market. Today she announces that the market has failed to provide housing.
Wonder who will build those houses?
Given her track record about spouting platitudes, then subsequently actually delivering on them, I wouldn't concern yourself unduly with who's going to build the houses.
There aren't going to be any
I watched Priti Patel's speech yesterday open-mouthed. She's calling for deregulation post Brexit and slashing of public spending.
That's the Tory Brexit we saw coming back in 2016...
Does she honestly think that deregulation and slashing of "red tape" (which none of them can provide an example of) can really reset the growing divide in wealth and opportunity?
thecaptain - MemberIt's great fun watching Boris' increasingly desperate attempts to get himself sacked. Anyone know what trips he's got lined up and who he'll have the best opportunity to offend next?
I'd love to know what his actual game is: is he trying to get sacked? is he assuming he wont get sacked so being more and more outrageous just to demonstrate how weak TM is by not sacking him so she falls quicker? or, as I suspect, is this all just a playgorund game for him and he doesn't really give a fiddle.

You think Priti Patel gives a shit about the growing divide in wealth and opportunity?
Actually, she does. She wants to see it increased massively, at a much-accelerated pace. Brexit is all her birthdays and Christmases rolled into one. She's just echoing what Liam Fox has gone on about at great length for years.
Environmental controls? Regulation or the tax 'burden' on business? Workers rights?
All come under their definition of 'red tape' that needs to be done away with
Welcome to post-Brexit Britain. A neo-liberal corporatist playground
You think Priti Patel gives a shit about the growing divide in wealth and opportunity?
Ah, you've got me bang to rights there binners.

I refer you back to Ian Hislop's stock reply when asked about Boris - you lot are making the mistake of assuming it's deliberate and that there's some plan behind it.
Meanwhile clearly Damian Green hasn't gone far enough in his call for action - #prayforBoris
😆
yes, IH is probably right! someone needs to tell Boris he's over-tired, showing off and it's time for bed 😆
SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH.... she's on!
I'm thinking we're probably taken [url= http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/politics/politics-headlines/please-stay-while-we-savour-your-humiliation-britain-tells-may-20170609129137 ]this[/url] to its logical conclusion now
Anyone else counting the lies shes telling?
She's on about her burning passion for social Justice.
I think someone probably needs to have a word....
Looks like she has a new catchphrase too, "that's what i'm in this for", will she ever change the record...
There is a certain amount of schadenfreude to be gained from knowing that the worst Prime Minister in living memory will be forced to remain in place because there's no credible successor. Trust and respect between May and the party rank and file has clearly broken down, Tory remainers have left the party in their droves and there's complete ideological bankruptcy at all levels.
I would be willing to bet a small sum of money that not one single council or affordable home is built on May's watch, as this policy is quietly binned like so many others over the last few months as the Brexit shitstorm remains the only political game in town.
The abject desperation of many at the conference (who've stumped £500 to be there) is a sight to behold, the only promise the Conservatives failed to make thus far has been to reduce the price of Freddo's.

Love the fact that every conservatives argument looks at socialist countries like Venezuela but doesn't look at the success stories of the Scandinavian countries or Canada (sorry eh), some of the happiest places around.
Shit she's dying!
A protestor just got on stage and handed her a P45
wonder who let them past security?

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
