She hasn't got a clue what she's doing. Cringeworthy to watch, the government is currently rudderless with this woman at the helm.

Out!

Promises to build Council Houses! Maggie will be turning in her grave.

Thats going to upset a great deal of the home-owning public, the Tory base.
Doesn't upset me, as long as the new housing developments are small scale and sensitively placed.

Preferable to subsidizing private landlords through HB, and cheaper as well.

She wants the party to unite and then proposes policies that will split Tory opinion right down the middle.

The Govt to get back into the business of building houses! Jesus.

£10bn for Help to Buy - £2bn for social hosing. She knows where the votes are.
What is needed is a relaxation of regulations not necessarily more central funding

BBC said:
In 2013 housing associations built 21,600 homes. The Policy Exchange says that number could increase radically if regulation of housing associations is relaxed.

Brandon Lewis Tory MP is being interviewed and should do a stint as a comedian. He said the party had announced lots of measures including things about err .................................. the countries security
Err yea really reassured there.

I don't know. But it's easier to explain how he found himself on the "Unfunny Comedians" thread.

"Feeling sorry for them" is not I would suggest the emotion good leaders generate.

If it weren't for Brexit she would be long gone. Quite how she has the delusion she will be leading them into another election I have no idea.
i don't vote tory because of their presentation skills. i made that mistake with tony blair. if you base decisions on how they can orate from a podium at a conference then thats your choice but watching this at work with silent audio it was much more important to me what she said not how it was said.

i thought the points PM may raised were reflective and she can have another pop at doing a better speech next year.

the announcement on social housing was sorely needed and marks a change of direction which is 13 years too late.

I'm guessing he got a press pass. I'll laugh like fk if his live shows now get disrupted for the "fun" of it

Must be quite soul destroying to fight your way to the top job only to realise you're clinging on to it soley because your colleagues are st scared of an election & you're a handy human shield for the coming st storm.

i am told that the comedian who pulled the p45 stunt is currently being driven down to salford quays to practise swimming with heavy weights.
Every public appearance she does is a train wreck. That's not coincidence.

She has no gravitas, imbues no empathy and generally comes across like her conviction to her ideas is somewhat limited.

Churning out Labour policies is not a good move. The rosettes changing colour doesn't make bad policies good.

Someone stronger would have been able to handle the knobhead with the P45 much better (and as above, her security need firing).

The less public speaking she can be seen to be doing in the next 2yrs, the better. I don't see her jacking it in before March 2019, and I don't see anyone else wanting that seat until then either. But she won't last much beyond then unless the EU suddenly goes against everything it has ever said.

The conferences are really highlighting the awfulness of our politicians of every colour.

Serious questions need to be asked about security.
Do they?

They locked down the venue weeks before hand, searched it prior to the event and searched people going in. So event of a bomb exploding is low.

Once someone gets in with a pass and sits at the front. You can't expect security to not allow him to standup, get in a few words and wave a piece of paper during a speech.

Talk about car crash TV

I can only imagine what it must feel like for tories to see their light and shining armour fall apart, live on TV!

Bring Corbyn in for pm please. We can't have a baffoon like her carry on in the top job. The country will fall apart.

Her sound bites on the Manchester bombing were meaningless - as Home Secretary she signed off on the policy to encourage British Libyans to go and fight for Jihadis in Libya. Well that’s exactly what the Abedi family did. And they returned with a whole new skill set.

Sure she can - just not at the Tory conference and not as their leader!

laughlaughlaughlaugh As bad as she is as bad as the election result was she is still PM and the Conservatives are in Government.
Corbyn will be another 4 years older come the next election and be even more senile forgetting what he promised people just yesterday.Not many would consider May a good leader but what does that say about Corbyn and the Labour party when they couldn't beat her.

So the big speech to save her career, her chance to show authority and leadership; and it went from one disaster to the next.

Much like the UK under May.
