Theresa May - Not up to the Job of PM?

[SocketRocket]

In the past , other members have been sanctioned for repeatedly making the same point ad nauseum , so please don't.

By all means have a full debate , but continual repetition kills the thread, so agree to disagree and move on.

Thank you

I used that comment quoting what HK had used as an accusation while doing it himself. I don't actually repeat the same point ad nausiem, some do on here, I dont.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

It was a general point to all and sundry
Just so you know 👍

Becoming evident to me that that our 'straight-speaking' PM is nothing of the sort - deliberately avoids answering the question and has become cliche-ridden. Emperor's New Clothes comes to mind I'm afraid - as I was hopeful at the outset...

So I have to ask - as Home Secretary - other than talking tough (to the Police Fed etc) what did she actually achieve, and let's not mention 'immigration'.

And no TV debates because she wants to get out and meet the people? Someone has to remind her that 'the people' comprises more than Tory voters.

Would be quite something if they've misjudged the public mood and May's avoidance strategy comes back to bite her. Not impossible.

Last year when Cameron stood down, it was an absolute relief to get 'steady' Theresa May in ahead of Gove, Fox, Leadsom, Johnson and one or two other pretenders. However nearly a year in I think she's a terrible appointment as PM/Tory leader. Makes Cameron look like a great leader. She is in way over her head imo, doesn't have the political skills or backing to steer UK forward, she's way more divisive than Cameron or Major at a time when unity is needed through compromise and inclusivity. Her GE campaign to date has been embarrassing. Trouble is who's better?

This I fully agree with. I was hopeful for her as much because she seemed so much better than the rest. A Boris PM plus Leadsome Chancellor anyone? But I am afraid I think she is pretty awful...

Just as well I don't have anything invested in her or the Tories - pity about Brexit mind as that's going to hurt us all - all that is bar the wealthiest.

And so just minutes ago our PM in 10 Downing Street makes it obvious that this is a 'presidential' election - and not a party election - by rolling out the cliches - I paraphrase

There are two people who can lead the Brexit negotiations - one who will be strong and stable; the other who will lead a hung parliament and a government of confusion and chaos

Pleeeeaze dear PM - give us a break from these cliches. They are OK as newspaper headlines but useless when you are asked to explain the detail.

May accuses Brussels of attempting to interfere with the election.

That'll go down well

The Russians will be furious, getting usurped by a non-elected federal waste of money.....

We should think ourselves lucky that at least May doesn't seem to be rambling around, incoherent and in a confused mental state - how Donald Trump has been described following a series of interviews these last 2-3 days.

I actually started to thing that Boris would have been the better option. At least he can eat chips an look human doing it.

The twitter picture of May smoking a fag with a can of special brew in one hand and a poke o chips in the other was quite amusing.

Great to see our Prime Minister standing up to the EU Bully Boys. She's exactly what we need at this time to stand our corner and not grovel for crumbs like the rest of out political numbskulls are suggesting.

Strong and Stable leadership. Just the ticket :thup:

 

[User62651]

Alarming behaviour from PM with that unsubstantiated anti EU tripe spouted from No 10 earlier. Desperate woman seeing her silly GE plan to use Brexit for personal gain coming apart.

No point in being strong and stable if you are also clueless.

My grand children seem to have better negotiating skills than May.
They know that when they stamp their feet and yell they won't get a thing.

Just because she knows when to keep her mouth shut and not tittle tattle about meetings to the press doesn't mean she's ignorant - in my view, when starting to negotiate, its a good idea not to leak an ongoing commentary.

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

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.
