Theresa May (Vol.2)

I hope she has had a nice relaxing bath
If I was Mr May I would have run her one and popped a pink grapefruit bath bomb to create a relaxing mood
A nice display of candles to create a relaxing mood is nice too.
After that a relaxing neck and back massage with lightly perfumed body oils would be in order being careful not to get any oil into that mane of steel grey hair,
Its been a stressful day and she should have some me time

And he's back

Best laugh today - thanks Dave

Rest of you where did we put that stash of mind bleach we kept near the DA appreciation thread???

Its what I do for my wife. If its good enough for Mrs TD its good enough for Tessie
Piss taking aside I genuinely felt sorry for her today

I also think JRM has shown what many thought ie that he is way off being electable as a leader. I found his faint praise then dismissal to be confusing and his appearances in interviews to show him in a bad light today
I believe that politics is generally won in the middle (I am to the right ) and that he and Corbyn to some degree are both too extreme to be relied upon. I also think Corbyn is looking really bad in interviews lately.
This will be ridiculed but I saw some interviews with McDonnell he really can pop on the charm
Scary isn't it this politics malarkey
Think I'll just go warm up some towels

I wouldn't ridicule you. I think McDonnell is by far the scariest senior politician in the country but I fully agree he pops on he charm - that's partly why he is so scary

Why did so many MPs not leave the room to vote?

Just giving it 10 minutes to let the queue clear. A bit like a departure lounge.

Now why would her that, he's got no chance of taking her up the oxo tower, the EU has already done that.

Can I just say. Whether you agree or not with her, what a tenacious, hard working, thick skinned, energetic person she is.

Deserves a round of applause.

Or, self important, ambitious, pompous, arrogant, insensitive, un-empathetic, utterly hopless PM who should have resigned when she lost the worst defeat by any PM in history.

Deserves the place she will have in history, along with the AWOL Cameron.

Just to level the playing field

I used to think there was some truth to that but the more I see the more I think she's simply awful.

She is certainly stubborn, determined and hard working, I will give her that.

But what I thought were strengths are countered by her increasingly authoritarianism and failure to build a wider cross party consensus through this process. I think we would have ended up in the same place, but in the process the trust in politics has been damaged (though I think there are faults on all sides)

No need to bring her dancing into this.

Agreed. The fact is we would be in this mess regardless of who was PM, red or blue, right, left or centre. We have a country that voted to leave the EU and a parliament of mostly members who want to stay. They would have done their level best to spoil any deal to leave regardless of who was leader.

Intransigence and defiance are not good qualities even if someone works really hard at it.

It was said earlier in the thread by someone cleverer than me, but TM is just as guilty as everyone else of furthering her and her parties interests above that of the country. At no point has there ever been any attempt to reach across the aisle to come up with a solution that a majority could get behind, it has always been the Conservative plan, or rather TM's way or the highway.

Her deal doesn't deliver what people voted for, in terms of pure negotiation it's probably the worst deal that could be conceived - to all intents and purposes still iin Europe, with all the downsides that brings, with no power of veto or control over any of it. It was a third option no one voted for, worse than both no deal Brexit and Remain.

And yet one could also say that of all the parties Corbyn is the only leader not to have been prepared to discuss the issues with May. He is single mindedly trying to cause a general election, which he has failed at, without any effort to compromise on his 6 tests.

I don't think anyone is suggesting Corbyn is better, simply that May is awful and has put party before country throughout this entire process.

Whilst I partly agree, I think her approach to negotiating has left us with a poor deal. Although it is quite unknowable, I suspect that a harder edged tone at the beginning - and a refusal to discuss any withdrawal agreement unless it was in parallel to the trade talks - would have ended up with a better result fir the UK. Also, the decision to trigger A50 without any consensus on the way forward was a ridiculous move.

Also quite unknowable, but I suspect that the other political parties would have made a similar mess as they are as riven and lukewarm on the outcome as the Tories.
