Theresa May

...I didn't believe a word of it...

I'm quite sure that she's sincere but making things actually happen is another matter.

Given the mood of the people at this moment in time she couldn't really say anything else, could she. 48% pretty angry and the rest all expecting Utopia. Wouldn't like to be in her shoes...

There's positive

The Lib Dems, god help us. "The prostitute of parliament" They'll jump into bed with anyone, if they think, it will get them some power!!!
Balini your use of gutter tabloid language does you no credit.
varian do you know Balini personally then?

Balini I thought it was funny anyway
(and quite apt given their track record re sex scandals)

'Given the mood of the people'......which people,some of us are happy about leaving the EU and also think she will make a good PM.

Jalima I thought the same, nobody needs to get hot under the collar because somebody else ( a total stranger) makes either a funny comment or a jibe about the party they vote for.

I think she'll make a good PM too Roses -still think Brexits a disaster though!

Sssssh! We don't mention Jeremy Thorpe!

Am sending positive thoughts your way Jane

She could have said many things at that moment, but she chose to directly address the sections of our society who need help the most. She sounded like an honourable woman and we will see how much progress she makes.

She also didn't sound patronising like Margaret Thatcher or William Hague. Their voices alone set my hackles rising.

At a time when there's no effective opposition, she seems the best choice for PM and as I said, I wish her well. Perhaps our second female PM will not prove to be as divisive as our first. Let's face it though, it's not a difficult challenge.

PS I hope there's no place in the Cabinet for Gove or Johnson.

Hey Wilma, total agreement from me again. Consensus breaking out. I believe Theresa is the best person for the job right now.

Sssssh! We don't mention Jeremy Thorpe
ooh, sorry, I was thinking of several others more recent

But then again, it is not the exclusive prerogative of the Libs or Dems or Lib Dems.

Jalima we don't mention those either.

True,there are strange bedfellows in all the parties.

Boris is foreign secretary, Hammond chancellor and amber rudd home secretary.

BORIS Home Secretary - beggars belief- how can this be? He should have NO place in the Cabinet

Foreign ...

Keep your friends close and your enemies travelling off around the world causing chaos

I can`t believe that Boris Johnson has been given a job !!!

I keep deciding to turn the news off and do the washing up (everyone else left the house before loading the dishwasher - I know, nothing changes) I'm beginning to feel like a news junkie. The past couple of weeks have been like the news on speed (drugs not speed dial I mean). Not that I've ever taken speed but I have been around folks who do, scary and fast just like recent events.

BORIS? Foreign Secretary? I can't believe it. I take back what I said about Theresa. She must have lost her marbles already. So sad. She showed such promise

I have started a 'New Cabinet' Thread with all to the posts so far.
