Theresa May

Yes ww a credible opposition and a general election would be a positive, shame that if an election is called there is little chance of anything other than five more years of similar assaults on public services.

May is tougher than the men in her party, she did as much plotting during the campaign as Johnson, Gove and Co.

If we had a credible opposition we could call a general election to give people the choice.

Yes but is there a least worse choice ww ? What a mess

Her voting record makes interesting if not particularly edifying reading

I hope Teresa May is the next Conservative Leader. Tegan is right to say hervlackmofnpopularity with the police is due to the cuts. I don't support the extent of cuts to any of the public services but, I still believe she's Ypres best, or least worse, choice.
Her health seems to me to be her business. She lost a lot of weight after her diagnosis which suggests she is managing the condition well.

Oh yes Daphne, there was great interest here in Corbyns vest, went on for ages

So long as she wears something in keeping with her position, what the hell does it matter, it's her brain we need.

I don't believe this. Would people go on about what male politicians (or their spouses) wear?

I can't say I've ever noticed Ms Merkel's necklaces - certainly not when she's in 'working' mode! Ms May's kitten heels are another matter entirely though - although I've only ever noticed those because the press goes on and on about them!

Mr May ... wear necklaces? In the UK we don't usually go in for that.

I know its not important but Angela Merkel wears beautiful necklaces. That is her weakness. Hubby is quite handsome and at the Wagner opera festival they look very smart - both of them.
He is a professor and refuses to be Mr Merkel and I wonder if Mr Mey will be able to do that.

Where's jings?

She doesn't strike me as nearly as Head-Girl-ish as e.g. Harriet Harman.

I neither particularly liked nor disliked her before, but I think she'd be the best choice now.

How was Msy involved in the Stephen Lawrence Case? And the Hilldborough investigation was opened by Andy Bernham and yhe Labour Party

Does ANYBODY like him?

Not according to this.

Mrs Gove?

Does ANYBODY like him?

Gove is also detested by prison offcers.

Please can we give her credit for proposing and getting passed the Modern Slavery Act 2015 whch is accepted as setting the standard for the world trying to stop modern day slavery.

I am not of any political party but would feel more confident with her at this time of turmoil than any of the others.

She has overseen the loss of 19,000 police officers; that's why she's unpopular. I didn't want to raise the issue of her diabetes but, manageable as it can be it must be a concern if she is to take on such a stressful role.

It would depend how well her type 1 diabetes is controlled. I understand she has recently lost quite a bit of weight.

It's difficult not to be influenced by personalities .Gove comes across as such a creep.

I think you are right Tegan: she has upset the police, and as you said on another thread Gove is no friend of teachers.

I like her!
