Should Theresa May resign?

So what’s stopping SF saying ‘f— that’ and turning up at Westminster, thus cancelling out the influence of the DUP?

The fact that to do so they would have to swear allegiance to the crown?

Just a tiny stumbling block. I’m sure they can see their way to getting round that…

They campaign on a platform of not taking seats and are never going to swear allegiance to the Queen which is a requirement of sitting in Westminster

This comedy sketch must be 30 years old?

The DUP still think this kind of thing is a documentary

Oddly the company I work for recently designated whatsapp as non secure

Really? Wasn’t the maybot throwing a shit fit about how all these companies won’t help her shitty spy service lo monitor if it, if it’s not secure surely the simpletons at GCHQ would be able to read in

Apologies for the source, but I CBA trawling for a better one, was curious what the DM was saying and came across this suggesting that Maybot had to be talked out of resigning warning: Daily Mail link with workaround for annoying STW filter

The Torys showing the compassion and decency we all expect

Joey Jones, a former adviser to Theresa May, said the PM has suffered “ritual humiliation” at the hands of her own party.

He told BBC News that “it seems to me almost she is prime minister only in name”.

Two of Mrs May’s aides – Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill – have resigned following calls by Tory MPs for her to sack the pair.

“I think that what has happened here is the ritual humiliation and the humbling of the Prime Minister by her very own party,” said Mr Jones, who was adviser to Mrs May as home secretary in 2016.

He added: “It is a very lonely situation in which she finds herself – hostage to the Conservative party, within Downing Street.

“The likelihood is there is going to be a knock at that black door and she will be on her way.”

Especially those BSDs kindly wrote a resignation for her

to be fair they just suffered humiliation at her hand so its hardly surprising they are blaming her for all of this
She decided to hold the GE, she implemented the plan and manifesto and she must carry the can – though she has tried to throw her advisers under a bus to avoid this

Who else were they going to turn on ?

They won’t actually kick her out though, they can’t (yet)

The Cabinet meeting Monday morning (or whenever) should be fun.

Quite – it would be easier to feel sympathy for the BSDs.

I read she was summoned before the 1922 who told her to ditch those advisors.

Does this result which was largely a brexit endorsement now nullify the referendum? What on earth basis is she going to be negotiating from, she’s not even going to be taken seriously.

Will we be staying in now in all but name.

Junkyard – lazarus

It’s not fair- just because it’s entirely her fault.

Cold, you guys are cold

I’m starting a campaign
#freeTheresa

Like her I dont agree with human rights for your enemies 😉

Do you think, #freetheMaybot or even
#PrayforMay is better

according to dm comments section she should go cos she’s leading a remainer conspiracy to derail brexit, part of the proof of this is putting the blame at the feet of David Davis. 😆

I saw someone on reddit last night claiming she was a cuck infiltrator

Seen that on web a few times

Loving the extra detail

These brexies are funny, but their paranoia and willing immersion in the alt-right worldview is quite scary!

Over 1/2millon people signed a petition on change.org opposing the DUP Collation..

Must be half a million commited tories, or half a million self conscious DUP voters because the coalition will destroy both parties. Let them at it I say.

The reverse Hanlon’s razor – it seems plausible 😆

They’re not forming a coalition though, will be some sort of agreement but not an actual coalition.

Even the tories know an actual coalition would be too much for some.Lol

Although I may not agree with the DUP they were voted into their seats via a the process we have. They have as much right to be part of a government as anyone else who was voted in. it is up to the elected officials to form a government and staff it as they see appropriate.

If there had been a conservative or labour majority would there be a petition to invalidate the vote?

This outcome was on the cards from the moment the exit polls came out. There are simply no other options for them to stay in power. While they waste time the clock is ticking.

Countdown to Brexit

Just checked with my (French) wife and in France the government has the right to sell your house whilst you are still alive to fund your social care. Socialist France. They also means test yoir children too if your house is not worth enogh and they are asked to contribute.

@dirtydog it may be a full on coalition, I believe thats being discussed

@Klunk on that piece they make the point that a Government negotiating Brexit should be lead by someone who campaigned for Leave. If (when) May goes thats who will most likely be PM

It’s not fair- just because it’s entirely her fault.

🙂

Therefore she cannot rule as a minority

3 months max and the whole shit show unravels and we have another GE

Every line they peddled about JC becomes farcical (coalition + terrorist sympathiser) and they’re the polar opposite of strong and stable

Labour in power within 4 months

While they waste time the clock is ticking.

Countdown to Brexit

Site is down 🙂 🙂 🙂

The Democratic Unionist Party have agreed in principle a “confidence and supply” deal to support a Conservative government, it has been announced.

@Nipper that is seriously clutching at straws

The result was driven mostly by Mays’s disastrous Manifesto commitment to use home value to fund social care (as they do in France but thats not the point) and a successful Labour attack line on police numbers.

The Labour Party camlaigned on the basis of ending freedom of movement, hence withdrawing from THE single market and customs union.

May tried to make it all about Brexit and lost her majority as Labour made the election about other things as they basically agreed with May on Brexit.

@scot ah thanks had not seen that

I have a sneaky feeling May may put any “Brexit Bill” to a Parliamentary Vote, thats a trap for Labour et al and quite a good negotiating stance a bit like that famous line from Dangerous Liaisons “Its beyond my control” 🙂

Yeah @scotroutes

Wicked witch one step ahead of anti coaltion petition.

I hope she stays. With every utterance from the knuckle dragging terrorist supporting ****wits she’s aligning herself with and with every condition she fails to meet in the exit negotiations, the more the turkeys will realise that voting for Christmas probably wasn’t so smart after all. So, stick in there Theresa and kill off any chance the Tories have for the next couple of elections

^^ it should as its a sensible policy

He is pointing to the post above announcing the policy in the guardian

Jamby this is just getting silly now you are going to run out of positions to reverse soon and even may does fewer U turns than you

Possibly, but it wouldn’t be making the headlines… Thanks to the bigotry and corruption of the DUP the Tories have managed to create a lightning rod for the suddenly engaged ‘youth’ voters

Anti gay, anti abortion, climate change denial, creationism, not to mention that missing £1/2bn
These are all things that the Tories have spent decades trying to put behind them, of course the DUP won’t be demanding an end to abortion or same sex marriage as their concessions,- it’ll be cold hard cash –
The Tories bringing them into government are endorsing them

Even in the 80s the nasty party were reviled by the young ones, project Cameron helped cleanse that & culturally we’ve all moved on since then, it seems NI hasn’t, maybe it WILL help bring NI forward in its thinking, but the impression will be that the Tories are moving back to their old ground and it’s going to horrify and galvanise the youth vote & beyond.

Social media has been bouncing round pics & info about the DUP for the last few days, the petition is just the start

Keep it up Maybot & co, you are playing a blinder

We will scrap the Conservatives’
Brexit White Paper and replace it
with fresh negotiating priorities that
have a strong emphasis on retaining
the benefits of the Single Market
and the Customs Union

That’s the Labour Manifesto.

May tried to make it all about Brexit and lost her majority as Labour made the election about other things as they basically agreed with May on Brexit.

Not really the same at all!

We will scrap the Conservatives’ Brexit White Paper and replace it with fresh negotiating priorities that have a strong emphasis on retaining the benefits of the Single Market and the Customs Union – which are essential for maintaining industries, jobs and businesses in Britain. Labour will always put jobs and the economy first.

Versus Theresa May’s manifesto pledge:

Blah blah blah David Davis blah blah nasty party blah bloody difficult

In answer to the OP, yes, of course she should.

I’m hoping she stays a bit longer. She’s the gift that keeps giving. I’d have paid £3 to vote for her had I known she’d do this much damage.

It’d be worth it alone to see jamba and the rest of our pet right wing nut job bitty boys whinging about how bad a week its turning out to be. 😆

Labour recognises that leaving the
EU with ‘no deal’ is the worst possible
deal for Britain and that it would do
damage to our economy and trade.
We will reject ‘no deal’ as a viable
option and if needs be negotiate
transitional arrangements to avoid
a cliff-edge for the economy.

And a bit more 🙂

Theresa must go protest outside downing Street still ongoing,

morphed into anti DUP protest

It’s not May, she’s a human shield right now, Tory BSDs hiding behind her while the millennial momentum snowflakes protest
