Theresa May Mark 2

The Tories are targeting labour seats , more so the marginals , the Libs are doing the same. Even this pea brain can see why , Labour Party is a shambles .

Oh yes, that'll be it.

Of course we must bear in mind that so much of the rhetoric is being directed at UKIP supporters, who tend to be the disaffected working class.

Love it!!!!!

Guess who is being quoted in supporting the governments new economic strategy?

Why our old friend Keynes.

Mind you the government is talking as if it has just invented the wheel. Well I suppose that is how it feels to them.
None so blind etc.

Out yesterday and have just had a lot of catching up to do! Although nowhere near ever being a Tory I did gave hopes that TM might have just been the best person for the job and be a sensible choice. Like many others I am totally shocked at much of the statements she has made and the policies she appears to intend to follow.
I found it very interesting yesterday watching M Verhstadt (sp?) in the EU parliament ending his speech by saying that 48% of the British people voted to remain in the EU and they must not be forgotten. He is one of the few prominent politicians to acknowledge the remain vote was so high. In case you have not seen the speech he also mentioned the blatant lies told to the British electorate. He talked about the tragedy of Alleppo and how the EU must up its game even if that means standing up to Putin. The speech can be found on YouTube I think it was.

Theresa May just turned into Willy Wonka!
"Come with me..."
I bet she'll be wishing she hadn't said that tomorrow when she reads the papers.

This is why she wants to get rid of human rights.

Just had a thought. Maybe she wants to get rid of human rights for the forces. They can take the MOD to court for not having the right equipment.

An interesting view of your rights. Mine, too.

I am delighted to be disliked by the Daily Mail though. Would be really worried if they approved.

Herbal tea is so liberal elite dj I wonder you dare admit to such a sin

Whitewave, I drink black coffee. Does herbal tea count the same as latte?
I am everything else on the list. Don't mind being disliked by Theresa May.

It takes ten years to qualify as a G P , as many G P's are taking early retirement it is impossible for the government to run the NHS without foreign! doctors ,

Oh dear I certainly wouldn't describe myself as elite, but I am climate change fearing, remain voting, latte drinking, quinoa munching, BBC loving,and politically correct. I am without hope

We can't even hang on to the doctors we've already got. It seems to me that the pledges made regarding training new doctors doesn't take account of the fact that so many doctors are already leaving the profession and perhaps the country, and any new recruitment will just bring the numbers back to where they were in the first place, which will be wholly inadequate given an ageing and more unhealthy population.

Apart from that, it takes years for a doctor to train as, following the five years, I believe they have to undertake placements in order to determine what area of medicine they wish to specialise in.

Given that we've already got a crisis in numbers, it seems to me that introducing a contract that the majority of doctors disagree with is guaranteed to make the situation worse. But I stand by my belief that Conservative governments are not committed to our public services and would rather see almost everything privatised.

It's going to be at least ten years before we have more British doctors.Presumably the plan would be to have more homegrown doctors as well as those from Europe or overseas, but at that point we would be able to 'tailor' our needs.There is nothing wrong with trying to train up more British doctors, surgeons, nurses.We should also encourage and train more engineers.

I am sure any grans who do or are considering voting Tory are as capable of making their decisions themselves as I am when or if I vote decide Labour,

I don't think they've thought through the NHS immigrant staffing problem, whitewave.
Can you imagine being a surgeon and being told you can stay here for a few more years until we've trained up the British ones we need, and then we'll let you go back where you came from!
20% of doctors go back home now, and leave them to it.

Who are all these 'Tory grans' and what makes you think they've all changed their minds? About what?

I think you're over-thinking things, whitewave. Or possibly it's you who's confused...

I'm puzzled how our Tory grans can change their views at the same time all together. Is someone pullling their strings?

So austerity has suddenly become so last year. Borrowing to invest is the new mantra.
Debt reduction? Poo! so uniformed.
Immigration a positive force in the economy? How ridiculous.
They have suddenly become Brexiters, regardless of how they voted.
Foreigners who have helped to sustain the NHS? Can't wait to get rid of them.

It must be all so confusing.

I don't know about you, but I consider myself to be 'working class'. I don't really know anyone who isn't. So what's not to like?

That's good then, Ana. I can't argue with you if you don't tell me what it was about.
So what's the point?
Inotice you have only commented on one thing I said.
The rest was that she has to do what she said, then it will be good. You can't argue with that, can you?

Personally, if she wants to do things for the working class, I'm all for that.
