I don't feel she is so smug - just very reserved & possibly a bit shy; but she has a certain steely determination about her that is needed now in Europe.


The smug one is Gove - I cannot percieve any redeeming feature in the guy. He is intelligent & clever but shows no empathy or capacity to meet others half way. HAS DISAGREED WITH ALMOST EVERYONE HE HAS WORKED WITH ! Not consensual so would find it very hard to negotiate in Brussels which is the capital of compromise.

She didn't threaten voters with a supplementary budget

Anyway, it was Osborne who ruled himself out.


Theresa May is ideally placed to negotiate an immigration policy that will be suitable for the UK. She did a reasonably good job under difficult conditions & now she can put that experience to good use during discussions in Brussels & elsewhere.

That would be a fantastic dummy on Boris and would be very cheering - though I fear it might give him a "wronged martyr" status with the Tory rank and file which might facilitate him leading a coup against May at a later date.

A BBC headline described it as "real life House of Cards"... pretty accurate I'd say!

She has now said that sending EU people living in the UK

home is on the table.


Not sure about that - even though it's obviously a bargaining

chip.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets!
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
