I think it was more due to her cutting police numbers. Would her diabetes be a concern, given the hectic lifestyle she would have to live as PM?

Theresa May was involved in the Steven Lawrence case and Hillsborough investigations which is why the police are anti her I understand.S he would have my vote if I was a conservative I think.

She always reminds me of a Head Girl and I was never going to be one of those. But who else is there? Slime ball Gove or the bearded homophobe? And whatever was that tartan get up she was wearing yesterday? Anything is better than Mrs Thatcher's pussy cat bows, but I prefer the Angela Merkel "This is the uniform I wear for work" approach. I know clothes shouldn't matter, but they do give you clues about a person.

She's better than the others, though she did do those vans with Go Home on them and isn't much interested in human rights.

Same as the Labour Party are facing then...... Who would be the right choice there, nobody seems to know.

Given the alternative that isn't very difficult

She would be the safe choice at the moment though.

Aren't ALL politicians?

She says she was a reluctant remainer. And the police seem to dislike her. That's all I know about her. More devious than she appears to be IMO.

Sorry to start another thread but I think she deserves one of her own!

Just to say that I think she's getting an easy ride - being seen as the safe, solid candidate. Mrs M has been just as politically devious as the rest of them.

All this loads of women, Clinton, Merkel, Sturgeon, May, won't it be wonderful, is rubbish.

She was for Remain but stayed under the radar, just to keep herself out of the fray then jump in as the candidate of reconciliation, experienced pair of hands, not brash or pushy, etc.

I'm not a Tory party member so my vote won't count!
