Theresa May - Not up to the Job of PM?

[drdel]

And let the other side control the reporting of the negotiations. The EU team will have to give a 'running commentary' on how things are going from their perspective as they have to keep 27 governments informed.

Communications among 27 member states through the media! Surely that's not a serious comment.

Oh so strong and stable. How about rather silly and counter-productive as well.

I'm not talking about Corbyn or Farron.

 

[shagster]

strong and stable my arse
doesnt have a clue
rambled on in march about no general election, panics and calls one
was it because of impending fraud cases and maybe by-election
the country voted for eu exit and corbyn has reiterated it so showing strong leadership
may will increase taxes as most tory goverments do
she will take away pension increases - wow great leadership - not

If she utters the words 'strong and stable' once more, I swear I shall scream! 🙄

 

[shagster]

she sure isn't talking about her party
still as divided as ever
do not worry though there is enough who believe their BS

I saw the latest Tory 'Bus' poster and quickly read it as ..........'vote for us as we are more likely to drop bombs on folk'.

I thought it was a spoof.

Saw that too, the fact that is being used as a promotion of a political party is really really worrying.

If that isn't a spoof, its distasteful in the extreme. A guaranteed vote loser.

Nope, it's real, the usual suspects love it. But there are some good partial grabs of it, this is my favourite.

I'd like to think so but I doubt it, it's catnip for the hard right

And yours.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

And yours.

I think that you understand the difference in the audience for any BS that @shagster might spout and the BS that our PM might spout - I am sure that you don't need to have the difference explained

My silly boy side loved the old Tory billboard poster that said 'Labour isn't Working'.
Overnight loads of Labour activists [yes they had then in those days] went out with a bit of blue paint and covered over the 'n't' bit.

[For the UKIP voters] That turned it into Labour is Working.

Nothing says modern progressive Britain more than 2 old white men standing next to a poster of a bomb trying to encourage you to vote for them.

Difference is that IMO she talks a lot of truth and common sense. He doesn't.

Tittle Tattle! Right down your street Doom, seems like you are getting paranoid in your desperation to dig up any bits of balderdash to support your insecurities. Give in to the inevitable, you know it will make you feel better

I am still not at all clear who our PM thinks the EU is trying to influence the GE in favour of. Surely if anything the EU would want whichever party wins the GE to have as large a majority as possible as that strengthens the PMs hand - not so much in the negotiations with the EU - but in being able to sell 'internally' a 'less than the most severe' Brexit Deal - as that is the sort of deal the EU will want.

As the Tories are 100% going to win the election, the EU would therefore want the Tories to have as large a majority as possible - to enable the PM to marginalise the influence of the harder Brexit faction of her party.

So in respect of her statement May was either confused; being manipulated; or being cynical and playing dog-whistle politics -
painting the EU as baddies and so protecting herself against fall-out when a decent deal is hard to find.

Any - back to the main question. If May thinks the EU are trying to influence the election - who are they trying to influence it in favour of?
