Has there ever been a poorer election campaign? I'm trying to think of a more incompetent, awful, pitiful effort. A year of saying that you won't call an early election. Then you do after a budget u turn. Then you do another u turn in the middle of the campaign. All the while you refuse to take part in the televised debate. I'm trying to think of a reason why this talentless woman should be prime minister but I've run out of any excuse!
Sorry can't do links but did anyone hear Boris on Radio 4 being interviewed the other morning? Ms Abbott was rightly pilloried for her performance in the campaign, if she was ill she shouldn't have gone on. But the tabloids have all gone strangely quiet on his omnishambolic, clusterf*ck performance. If someone can post a link I'd be very grateful, take one listen and then imagine this man as Prime Minister!
To think he was worth 27 million quid just a few years ago and now he's bankrupt! There's no way I'd want him as Primer Minister and before anybody calls me xenophobic or gingerist it's got hardly anything at all to do with him being German and Ginger.

Dianne Abott tried but fcked it up. This guy just doesn't give a toss. His arrogance is staggering. But he'll get an easy ride from the press and elsewhere. No prejudice my arse.
Let's swap them. We don't need young physically fit workers but we have a lack of sunburnt pensioners and former armed robbers.
I am now an ex-pat but am not an armed robber. Nor am I a sunburnt pensioner. Yet.

I am not sure if every politician can be expected to know everything about everything, but one thing I remember from a documentary about Boris a few years ago was that he wasn't particularly interested in politics. He seemed much more interested in how what he evidently regarded as the illusions of the credulous masses, such as monarchy and nationalism, could be used to his advantage.
Corbyn at Glastonbury, something is definitely going on , people are not going to take austerity any more. Seven years of it has only helped the very rich, there must be a better way!

Talking of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, there is something very Black Knight about blustering Brexit Secretary David Davis:
'Last month, Mr Davis vowed to wage the "row of the summer" to secure immediate talks on a free trade agreement — predicting an early collapse if the EU refused to give way.'
He was forced was forced to drop his central demand for the two strands of the negotiations to be staged in parallel, within hours of arriving in Brussels.
In the meantime it looks like Germany has had to take over managing the affairs of the Conservative Party:
'Germany has hinted it would be willing to grant the UK Brexit concessions amid fears that talks could collapse if Theresa May is ousted as Prime Minister as a result of Brussels playing hard ball, according to reports.'

He just did an epic 12 minute kazoo and spoons solo before dropping his trousers to reveal a picture of Teresa May's face on his arse with a very puckered mouth.

No money for the Police and the NHS. Just £5million for the victims of Grenfell.
£1 billion, that's a thousand million pounds, A THOUSAND MILLION POUNDS, to save her job.
It's obscene.
Pounds close to parity on the Euro here through the cash point, absolute effing disaster, 1.30 12 months ago.
The inflationary pressures growing in the UK economy are huge.
And the Brexit bill of £85 Billion this time last year is now closer to £100 billion now as a result. Economic madness. Sort it out UK, get her out, she's a psycho. Bailing out flat earth creationists and religious bigots and nut jobs whilst the NHS goes under.
Well that'll be interesting Danny. If the UK lost £66 billion a year for 15 consecutive years, that would amount to £990 billion in lost GDP overall. As the current GDP is USD $2.729 trillion (GBP £2.132 trillion) then in 15 years we would have lost 46% of GDP (GBP £1.142 trillion). I find that hard to believe. Agreed we do trade around 44% of our goods value with the EU but are we really going to shut down all EU trade within the next 15 years to end up with a 46% lower GDP in 2032 whilst not increasing our trade to any serious degree with the rest of the world.
Sometimes I suspect reports are designed to give the results that recipients want to hear.
Oh! and it would also mean that every person in the UK would be £15,000 worse off by 2032. Then again as only slightly less than 50% of the UK are employed (babies, kids, WAGS, old people make up the rest) each working (taxpaying) person will probably be £2,000 worse off each year and £30,000 worse off by 2032. Now, how likely is that?

When they say lose they mean make that much less than we would have done .Its all bollix they cant forecast for the next quarter most of the time
'Theresa May will move to bolster her precarious position in Downing Street with an unprecedented invitation to Labour to help her create policies for a post-Brexit Britain as she attempts to quell a Tory plot to replace her.'

To which the response should be, and probably will be, it's your mess, you sort it.
I give her until the middle of next year - maximum.

Whatever it was, she has lost it. Of course, what it is may have changed and she might not recognise it in its new guise. Which might explain why she is looking so haggard.
