To be honest I don't think any of the Tory voters on here do think she is doing a good job. So they just have a go at Corbyn as a deflection technique to prevent them having to admit it.

Your right on the first bit, but on the second, I think it was mostly Labour supporters who were having a pop at Corbyn before the election but now they hail him as the all conquering hero even though --------- he lost.

It's only going to get tougher for her with this mornings events being unfolded as Corbyn was on site immediately and stayed most of the night in the community.

May is on a hiding to nothing with the cards stacked against her, but to be honest I think it would be the same for anyone who held the PM seat at present.

He is the constituency MP so I would expect him to be on site immediately.

apparently he only lives a few streets away, however, May or someone in Government would have got a call also at the time and you'd thought that if not May herself at the very least a representative would be sent to the area?

Are you suggesting Corbyn?

Anyone who is better than May....that should not be too tall an order.
Perhaps a bit difficult for the Tories, perhaps they could bring back Ken Clarke.

BTW no one seems to have answered the situation of employing 600+ MP's, plus thousands of support staff who will have a much reduced workload for the next two years.

Au contraire, I think he has done a lot better than expected, especially with the ridiculous press coverage against him by the leading papers. Also he has proven that the country does not mind a bit of socialism and does care about our public services. But he was helped by TMay and the Tories running an unbelievably poor election campaign that took the electorate for granted. And I think if the Tories had a half competent leader who was a bit less 'ghost of Thatcher' and a manifesto that showed a bit of hope for the future instead of meaningless slogans then they would have romped it and Corbyn would be gone by now. Still, if my auntie had a.......

Well the CEO of that Muslim Welfare House is a liar then and was using his interview early this morning for his own agenda, as he clearly stated that Corbyn was not only his local MP but only lived a few streets away and had been at the mosque supporting everyone all night. I'll be honest I thought it a bit stretched at the time as the media would have got a whiff of that during the night, but didn't!

That CEO turned an atrocity into a political platform which is disgusting if Corbyn was never there?

Apologies crossed lines, Thought we were discussing the Fire, not the incident last night.

The incident last night was on Corbyns doorstep, so apologies for jumping in

Can you stay on topic please. :thup:

This is the slagging off Theresa May for not being up to being PM thread, not the slagging off Theresa May for not meeting the public at the Grenfell Tower fire thread, or the slagging off Theresa May for Brexit thread, or the slagging off Theresa May for not going to the mosque thread, or the slagging off Theresa May for everything she has done or continues to do thread.

You can see how easy it is to get confused.

Yes it is...like the confused priorities of K&C Council and the rather confused logic of our dear Leader.

On which note I shall drop off from worrying about the spiritual and medical health of Theresa May as she struggles with her struggles. Best not to upset others here any more than they already are (upset with me for whanging on).

But I forgive her for all her faults and mis-steps (because I can). There is no point in me getting further irritated with her and the machinations of her party - I've got my own issues to deal with.

Could you be any more patronising?
You really do make yourself look childish at times, such a shame.

I'm off as it seems that anything I say - no matter what - winds others up (QED) and so as I seem to be the problem I'm out of this discussion. I can't be bothered trying to explain myself further, and those who are fed up with me trying to do so will no doubt breath a great sigh of relief.

I guess I'd be popular if I promised you all a free trip to Carnoustie.

Of course I might need to aplogise later when I found there was not enough cash in the kitty. The PM is running a government JC is has plenty of time to make promises now in the knowledge that he can blame someone else when/if the kitty can't afford to deliver the promises.

You are right, the PM is running a Government.
The bit you left out was, she is making a right mucking fuddle of it.
