No one in the government... shortage of talent claptrap.
In looking to the future Mrs May should look to the recent past and utilise the talents of her DUP partners. It was only a few short years ago Mr Cameron embraced and utilised the talents of the Lib Dems and gave them positions.
I suggest she appoints Arlene Foster to this roll. What could possibly go wrong

She'll get a dressing-down and removed from her post, the intention being that she'll remain an MP and will come back into another cabinet post in a year or too when the dust has settled. There will be no election and nothing will really change.
Still, it gives the press a nice new target now they have backed off all the sexual harassment headlines following yesterdays suicide.

You think it's okay for a cabinet minister to hold secret meetings with a foreign power, then use her ministerial powers to send them free money?
She's covered in s
t from head to toe. Combined with Leadsom, Boris, Farron, Green and Mays overrall incompetence the Tory party are in complete havoc.

Did Blair resign for taking the UK in to an illegal war that cost the lives of 100's?
I think a sense of scale by removing the media hysteria may be in order.

Problem yes BUT....she has apologised and the world can move on.
The PM has to sack her, you can’t secretly negotiate with foreign governments, this is Politics 101Unfortunately it now seems like No.10 were actually aware of some of these meetings but didn’t do anything about it..
Oh well 3 hrs until she lands at Heathrow

If any of it is in the UK national interest then thats a good thing IMO.

Corbo must be rubbing his hands together, he will see his support go up purely due to incompetence in government.

Still think Patel will lose her post as the PM needs to be seen to stamp her authority, all whilst avoiding any internal backlash that will lead to a leadership challenge.

I humbly suggest that you get a grip and stop the apologism. I don't think its ok. But should she resign, no.

This is as clear an example as you could expect to see of a bent politician. If May wasn't already in an extraordinarily weak position Patel would be gone already.
Stating that an apology is acceptable for going off on her own sniffing out some Israeli kickbacks with some tory donor/lobbyist is laughable.

I won't mention that other top female Labour MP unless you know who starts posting pictures.
I imagine this is aimed at myself.I won't mention that other top female Labour MP unless you know who starts posting pictures.
It's as if you would claim I just post pictures unnecessarily or something. I'm getting a bit fed up of being treated like an idiot. Politics is serious stuff what with the Tories being Evil and Labour being Fantastic. Politics is not a subject to be dumbed down.

Not yet - Prescott's son who is also a Corbyn speechwriter suspended today. Perhaps Ken Livingstone should setup a safe space for them all, he seems to have the experience here.
