Theresa May - Not up to the Job of PM?

[Hacker Khan]

Especially that woman in red. Jesus H Christ get back in the kitchen where you belong.

And hello to the Right Honourable Member (and I use that word with caution) for the 1940s...

Yup politics at its worse. These TV debates seem to be the lowest form of broadcast going. Presenters concentrate on their own persona and appearing intellectually superior and the candidates just want to maximise their camera time. Content is next to B all.

Its more than a bit sad that the UK is led by such a moronic selection of the population.

Sorry, I have lost track a bit with all the nuanced arguments on here being made by the great and good of this forum. Are you referring to Tory MPs, party leaders, TV presenters or those that voted for brexit?

Politicians!

I know, you couldn't make it up with this clown of a PM. Well done Amber Rudd though, stood in and took the flak, fought hard and this despite losing her father only a couple of days before - respect.

As for raucous point-scoring tone and style of the tv debates it's little different to PMs questions in the Commons so hardly an excuse for TM not to turn up.

I thought AR she did rather well - as I thought she did during the Referendum debate. But that she was put into the Lion's Den by TM - given she had only two days before lost her dad - now that smacks of a lack of compassion to me - despite the assurances AR would have given. Was there nobody else in her cabinet of giants that TM felt could be her surrogate, not even our Foreign Secretary or Chancellor of the Exchequer?

I see your knowledge of politics is on par with your lack of knowledge of geography and history. I understand that the Scottish education system is in collapse but I thought that was a recent problem.

Its not a Westminster election, it's an election for seats in Parliament and for the geography challenged that just happens to be in Westminster.

It was a leaders debate (more like a shout out in the end), I understood that the SNP Leader was a woman so it's a fail just like it turned out to be a fail for the Tory Party. The only difference being May leads a major party as opposed to a small one so the damage could be greater. That will become more obvious in a weeks time when we see if the population like rant TV.

I think you might be overlooking the fact that for many, if not most, Scots it is what happens in Holyrood that in general matters more to their lives than what happens in Westminster. The GE outcome for the SNP will be driven by their performance in Holyrood rather than Westminster - where - by all accounts - Angus Robertson has been a very effective leader.

She's a gutless liar who I wouldn't trust as far as I can throw her..... Corbyn is a car crash waiting to happen.

I cannot believe we'll end up with either of these idiots running the country.

As a wise man once said, we're all doomed!

Well...many in the USA felt that they had a similar choice - and in the end they went for the anti-establishment figure. And to be honest, and despite my misgivings over Corbyn, I actually can't see Corbyn and his front bench making a bigger mess of things than Bragger and his.

Stolen from Twitter but the only person TMay has debated with on TV is her husband. Strong and stable...

Isn't that why men and women get together or married? Because if we didn't we'd have to argue with strangers

Anyway - on the Brexit negotiations, is it not the case that all the prep and planning is being done by the Civil Servants? A change in focus or priorities will simply be managed by the Civil Servants.

In any case - the initial negotiations will be on what we pay to leave - and in many ways that is surely going to be independent of whether it is Corbyn or May leading things.

The differences we be on the negotiations for the re-engagement with the EU. And Civil Servants will have time during the 'leave payment' negotiations to re-focus and get on top of that - and they will.

Goodness I might even agree with you on this point.

Is it me or have 3 threads kind of merged into one with the same points being made in each thread?

yes, yes, yes

Maybe time for this one to re-focus on the characteristics and capabilities of The Supreme Leader - or given recent events should that be The Chicken Supreme

I see the PM has ducked the women's hour interview tomorrow on the BBC.

Imagine calling an election and then refusing to debate your policies!

JC did the funny "debate" thing with TM and women's hour the same day, or the next day I don't remember exactly, and women's hour had a bigger audience.

Naw.......... 'The Queen of the U Turn' is more suitable.
I quite like chicken supreme, one of my mothers signature dishes along with spam fritters and fidget pie.

And the Scottish Leader turned down the opportunity to go on the Jeremy Vine show, seems like those two really do like ducking the media.
