It's truly astonishing that she's held that office at all. When you actually stop and watch her answer questions (or completely fail to) it's like watching an automaton. It's a real-life version of 'Being There'.
Well, she's keeping the same cabinet by the look of it, she's too weak to re-shuffle.
She has been exposed as completely out of her depth, watching her now is strangely both repugnant and pitiable.
I reckon she'll be gone before the end of the month. There is so much ill feeling towards her in the Tory party. This will transmit through to the cabinet quickly enough.
Referendum and this election has just cost the tax payers £285M. Nearly enough for Labour's 10 000 extra policemen and not a magic money tree in sight. £285M to try to unite the Tory party and they accuse Labour of economic recklessness!
I was thinking the same, except Chauncey Gardner was unaware of his inadequacy, she's all too aware of hers. She looks so uncomfortable, her constant evasions, her oft repeated phrases, the rictus smile, her nervous ticks, the blinking eyes, the hyper ventilating, the stooped shoulders and the distinct impression she's not very bright.
Beginning to think she has/had no intention of making any deal with the EU, hence the 'catchy' slogan. I think she is incredibly indecisive and knows her own limitations, but has a blind spot when it comes to accepting blame.
And yet she is still PM and Corbyn is still leader of the opposition. Must Hurt.
5 years is a long time in politics ;-)Corbyn will never be Prime Minister, we're in the interregnum, but whereas we're moving in the right direction, you guys?....Not so much.
This.
I voted for Corbyn during both Labour elections and obviously last night. I didn't vote for him because he wears a nice suit, I voted for him because I thought he could win an election. He has not won an election.
You see this is the different between the far left and the centre left of the Party. The far left is full of people who like Pyrrhic victories. They like discussing philosophy such as nuclear disarmament and identity politics. Great, I like those conversations too.
However what I like more is a well funded NHS, building low cost houses and making food banks a thing of the past. And you can't do any of that unless you win an election and that means compromising your opinion on some things.
The far left of the Party feel it's important to talk about policy. Blairites feel it's important to enact policy and the talk is political masturbation if you'll never get elected to enact it.
I want Labour to win elections. I thought Corbyn could energise the youth vote which he did but the collapse of UKIP fucked him and much of the country rejected him. Now I'll have to survey the options but if he forms a more united shadow cabinet then we'll ride with him for a bit as he appears to be growing into the role. If he decides to step aside and anoint a centrist successor who he campaigns hard for then we'll win the next election.
But that's the game. This isn't a joke. There are people on this country, especially those on disabilities and benefits who are fucked. They don't need a far left Labour party up its own arse about its revolution, they need an elected Labour Party in power and making changes. They don't have time for us to fuck about again and we're letting them down.
Jim Smith who's surviving on £40 a week doesn't care about "the movement". He just wants to be able to live his life. We failed him last night and we can't do so again.
