    Lib dems agree supply and confidence then vote against Queens speech flicking the v’s to may?

    even if they get a cancel brexit in the speech ? 😯

    It would put a different light on the Farron resignation wouldn’t it?
    Hopefully it’s just rumours, but I very much like mikewsmith’s idea 🙂

    More likely just rumours started by Tories just to scare DUP a bit

    unless Sinn Fein threw a massive wobbly at their meeting with May yesterday and its given her pause for thought

    i think that is exactly what happened. Gerry Adams, yesterday evening:

    We have just finished a meeting with the British prime minister and her secretary of state. And we told her very directly that she was in breach of the Good Friday agreement and we itemised those matters in which she was dilatory or in default in relation to that agreement.

    being reported in the DM, and the kippers are not happy, they smell a rat!

    The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats held a secret meeting yesterday, opening up the prospect of another coalition government.

    Tory whips met with Alistair Carmichael, deputy chief whip during the alliance, as talks between the Government and the DUP continued.

    Talks opened after Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, who had ruled out pacts, deals and coalitions, stepped down on Wednesday.

    THE CONS ARE BETRAYING US AND THE BREXIT! WE SHALL HAVE TO REGROUP UNDER A NEW UKIP UNDER NIGELS COMMAND!

    This is what the remainiacs have been angling for to kill brexit.

    This is the beginning of the establishment betraying the will of the British people and rolling back on brexit

    Yes, agreed doris.

    I have a question about sinn fein (or rather NI devolved politics). THey said they won seats on a mandate to abstain from westimnister and to oppose brexit, but how do tey oppose brexit if they arent in westiminster? Or are NI MP’s also in th northern ireland assembly?

    an example of how the Prime Minister, by virtue of being prime minister at a time of multiple terrorist attacks, might not be put in situations where her safety couldn’t be assured

    Safe enough for a 91 year old ‘also potential terror target’ to go though……

    Is this an elaborate trick where we have to invite Trump over to fire her? Can’t Alan sugar do it on bbc3 or something?

    Quite. I’m a republican, but fair do’s to the Queen: she visited the victims in Manchester, too.

    at what point can the queen write her own speech.

    Yup, regardless of stance on the royals you get the impression she’s a fairly good egg….. she must think the PM is a **** and I’d love to think she would say as much!

    Let’s just revisit Tory boy’s comment now the queen has been and done what Maybot didn’t.

    I think what ninfan really meant was don’t you know how deeply unpopular and unpleasant the pm is, it’s entirely rational that appearing in public would be as toxic and dangerous and letting the orange idiot tweet.
    She is so incompetent that she should not be allowed out in public.

    To be fair people like Corbyn, Khan and Lizzie. The risk probably is higher for May.

    She presumably isn’t. Possibly a restraining order applied by her party?

    Why would you need a restraint? She can’t talk to real people end of.

    Jeez it just goes to show how incompetent May is when a woman who lives in a 200+ bedroom house comes to show solidarity with people who were lucky just to loose their council flats

    aaaaaaaand May still looks worse

    Only because the public hate her more

    I dont think she would actually be attacked in the physical sense but yes she would probably have faced some hostility as did the mayor.

    the idea that it was fear for her safety rather a decision based on her unpopularity, whilst plausible, is just a red herring.

    She wanted to avoid the bad press basically and perhaps her default setting is to just duck the tough scenarios as she barely engages with the public from a position of perceived strength.

    I’m sure that if she had turned up, certain sectors of the community would just be rounding on that saying she was just doing it for PR, or that it was insensitive of her to speak to the survivors after being responsible for evil Tory cuts

    Like Maggie Said – “If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn’t swim.”

    Iirc it was mentioned when she firrst became pm that her nickname was the submarine, due to her disappearing under the surface when the going gets tough.

    Since she was forced to sack her two script writers, I think she is struggling to communicate at any level.

    Quoting Fatcha?

    Now you’re really beginning to struggle……

    I try to go through life giving people the benefit of doubt. Loathing people is actually hard work.

    That said,I cannot stand even the sight of that grey apparition of a “woman” on TV.

    I am slightly perplexed.

    What would TM quitting help for a right wing Tory perspective. They are getting the Brexit they want and will have a fantastic scapegoat. There is no one who wants the poisoned chalice and many of the front runners look feckless.

    Also what would the right wing media pushing for this same deal have to gain. Much like everything else going on at the moment people seem to want something. They don’t know what so any kind of action must be worth a shot…

    This is a win win for everybody really.
    May has to deal with the impending sh!tstorm of Brexit that nobody wants to deal with then she will undoubtedly have to resign or make way for another leader. She really has shown a complete lack of empathy and political awareness when tough questions have been asked. The sooner the better she’s gone for me.
