I wouldn't be surprised if this is the backlash of the JAM's (Just About Managing) families who have felt they have been pushed by the Tories to the edge.

I fall into this category FWIW.

Wait till the interest rates start going up.

I know the Cons need the DUP to get a majority, but they are playing a very dangerous game with the Good Friday agreement.

May doesn't care. In true Palpatine style she is grabbing power and doesn't give a crap what happens behind her. I hope she knows what she is doing here because the fallout could be immense.

What was that term people like to use against Ed? Omnishambles? Gove being appointed Energy Secretary is hilarious, that's the DUP appeased.

Omnishambles was directed at one of Osborne's budgets that was beset by u turns like the pasty tax.

May's an empty pair of trousers. It's the Tory party pulling the strings.

Tories actually gained votes in my area. 60% of the vote vs 28% for Labour, gaining 4.2% since 2015. Though Labour did gain 10%.

Not really much point voting(though I did).

Weakening of the currency = closer to taking the EURO.

That would be hilarious:

"I Theresa May, have addressed all of your fears with my ultimate Brexit negotiation. Free movement abolished, 0 immigration, no Brexit bill, exiting the freemarket. And we only had to make two tiny concessions, *cough* we'readoptingtheeuro *cough* and I have to get a tattoo of Charles De Gaulle's face, super imposed over my own face.

Nigel Farage promptly collapses in on himself in fury.

 

[simpletom]

Indeed.

Although apparently it's some goat skin like material, but still takes ages to dry.

Well, it gives them a chance to erase some bits and change them. You know, the "May/May not" syndrome...

 

[SlugForAButt]

That sounds a great way to run a democracy when you consider the majority of those who voted, actually voted for a conservative government.

Exactly.

 

[cheesyboy]

heh

What part of 42.5% do you not understand?

I think he's clarified that...

So Maybot has apparently told her MPs that she got them into this mess and she'll get them out of it. Lovely soundbite, but I'd be willing to bet she hasn't got a plan to back it up.

If that is what she said, going on Cameron's similar commitment, she is about to quit.

 

[Avenged7Fold]

What part of 42.5% do you not understand?

At least the majority of it

 

[Ocean Breeze]

Surely she is not going to survive this?

 

[dalehitchy1]

I thought May appoiting Gove was abit random so I hope this is not true. Though I'll take it with a pinch of Salt I have no doubt that the Tories are in bed with Murdoch

If she doesn't what do we do, wait until September, and then have another Conservative leadership election, and follow that with another GE?
