Theresa May - Not up to the Job of PM?

[Hacker Khan]

Liam Byrne is bricking it this morning then?

Wasn't he in Westlife? Or was it Boyzone? I always get them confused.

 

[Hacker Khan]

My goodness - May is going to have to be nifty on her feet to navigate the questions around what she knew about the targets Rudd was denying knowledge of the existence of to parliamentary committee - when as Rudd was making these denials May knew that Rudd knew of the targets - or at least May knew that there were targets. So why did May stay schtum?

Very much doubt May will go over this but May certainly has some very pointed questions to answer - that is if Corbyn and Abbott can keep their excitement under control enough to ask the questions in a pointed way - and there is always that doubt. If only Yvette Cooper was Shadow Home Secretary or Leader of the opposition then Labour might get some penetrative questions being asked of May.

I agree, the fact that you have Dianne Abbott, who I don't think is nearly as bad as some do but appreciate she has a perceived credibility issue, trying to hold her to account does not help. Talk about missing an own goal.

Really, Abbott not as bad as perceived?

Latest poll.

Scots who support the UK government ...14%.
Scots who support Independence 46%.

Wow...there is a big 'undecided' factor there.

Not really but it’s quite clear you are trying to link people not supporting the government to wanting to leave the UK - two clearly different things but your anti English bitterness won’t see that

That poll result clearly means that 54% don’t support independence

But here is another poll saying only 32% support independence

But it’s just a poll and they fluctuate- the definitive answer was what happened at the actual vote a couple years back which was what again ? You can remind us

Here is another one that tells us what we already know about Westminster and Holyrood.

If you are going to demonstrate your own lack of understanding... misusing stats in a surefire way of doing it.

If if it's true!

See my comments on the DA thread.

Why?

 

[SocketRocket]

Why?

Probably something about Brexit!

Not at all...the link was to something about Diane Abbott. But rather than comment on Dianne Abbott further on a thread about Theresa May I just mentioned that I'd made my thoughts on DA clear on the DA thread. Whatever the truth of her capabilities and commitments it is a fact that, in many of her public utterances, she is a liability for the Labour Party.

Being reported in the Evening Standard, May vetoing request from the Health and Social Care Secretary to raise cap on skilled-immigration. Hundreds of doctors being refused visas. What is she doing? - an utter mess. And apparently the same is happening in the tech business community.

Unfortunately, the truth is even worse than the article, which says 100 Indian doctors. Over 400 doctors have been refused visas since the turn of the year. Having been on the receiving end of having an op put back due "winter pressures" its especially disappointing to know that so many clinicians have been refused entry.

We had two certificates of sponsorship refused last month and no guarantee they'll go through in the Home Office monthly review for May. Placing a real burden on services as these are already posts to fill training gaps. Add in additional rota gaps for sickness and leave and some services are struggling to provide enough to run clinics and cover ward rounds

If we didn't increase the population to an extent where it cannot be supported then we wouldn't need them.

Well of course you would say that...but we DO need them. And for as long as we do not have the doctors we need now, the public will continue to blame immigrants and immigration for the impact they experience due to the shortcomings in the resourcing of the NHS. Or is that May's cunning plan? I doubt it, but given the fiasco of recent days (not the Windrush scandal itself) I am not so sure.

May is Brexit Queen :lol:

I don't think you're far wrong in questioning May's motives. We've heard time and again that if there's a need in the UK for people with certain skills they will be allowed in, yet over 400 doctors have been refused entry. Its not difficult to draw a conclusion.
