It was painful to watch the Marr interview. She'd start a sentence and then change tack midway through. Whilst I thought some of her answers were decent, they weren't delivered with real conviction. Did she avoid some of the questions? Yes, just like any other politician. Did she avoid them as well as Corbyn did the week before? No, she just isn't as accomplished or confident.

What to do with Boris? He's going to mouth off whether he's in cabinet or not. Show some balls and kick him out of cabinet and let him bleat from the back benches. No doubt his supporters will push for her sacking, as they will anyway sometime soon, but at least she'll go down fighting if she's seen to be leading the cabinet.

A deal from Brussels? Barnier et all can't be seen to be giving something half decent to the UK just in case it leads to other countries wanting to be out but with a favourable deal. And that from Yanis Whatshisname the ex-Greek PM who thinks Brexit is bad.

As for the recent suggestion from the EU that the divorce bill has to be paid in full in one lump on top of the annual payments... either there's a compromise on that or No Deal is definitely the preferred option.

'It is never a mistake to give people the opportunity to vote' ....says May on the Marr programme.

Apart from Scotland or Catalonia that is.............if it is an expensive UK election that NO ONE wanted....yes, that's ok.

On the Spanish thread you mentioned something about “petty anti Scottish” being mentioned in that thread

So you once again prove yourself to be a hypocrite by bringing Catalonia into a thread about May our PM ( yes that includes you as well )

Scotland did have the opportunity to vote about 3 years ago in case that slipped your mind - remember is was supposed to be “once in a generation”

Scotland did vote. The people of Scotland voted to remain part of the uk. It was a great exercise in democracy, right up until the SNP decided to break the Edinburgh agreement by not respecting the result.

Earlier this year she told Scotland that 'now was not the right time for Indyref2, or have you forgotten that.

Probably should have put it on the Spain's Shame thread but that seems to have been hijacked by geezers talking about English football.:eek:

And whats wrong with that ?

Scotland had the Indy vote a couple years ago - or have you forgotten that ? Once in a generation remember - or have you forgotten that ?

Scotland voted to stay a part of the UK - or have you forgotten that ?

Folks can change their minds - but it will take a mighty swing to the Pro side in the polls for another referendum to be discussed - never mind held. Off the radar for ten years I'd say

Apologies if I've missed it but is there no mention of todays May performance - comedy/tragedy whatever?
Political commentators can't quite believe it. Was almost like a comedy sketch. Calamity does seem to follow May about at the moment. Reminded me of Bob Fleming from the Fast Show.

  • Lost voice/hacking cough
  • Letters falling off slogans on stage
  • Handed her P45 live on stage 'from Boris' by comic/protester

Even if she did have a political message to give, no-one outside the diehard Tories will have noticed any of it.

Feeling a bit sorry for her tbh, she is our PM after all.:mad:

Tory HQ must be despairing.

Not great today - bit of a shambles in truth. And espousing policies that Ed Miliband might have put forward - in fact I think he did propose some of them.

She should have taken yesterday off rather than give 20+ speeches - and delegated as she needed to. But being the vulnerable, and perhaps even fearful, control freak that she is she couldn't do that.

...or has the guts to try to tough it out, even though clearly unwell? Contrast with a Labour Shadow Minister who can't count, got found out and then disappeared for a week.

No....she showed poor judgement.[once again]
Not what I look for in a leader

I think the lasting image of that conference will be the sign behind her.

Build a strong country............. when they can't even build a stage set that can last for an hour.

Times and Telegraph not taking that view! Shortish odds of 9/4 being offered she's gone by Christmas.

As for Abbott yes she made a horlicks but so did Hammond and others, right wing press bias on that.

Let's face it Doon, whatever she does would 'Not be what you're looking for' in a leader.
