Who will replace May?

The difference between the two leaders.

I think our memories will have to be wiped too whitewave, or at least those who voted Tory as I cannot see how there will be little recognisable in the Queens speech after the talks with the DUP and the obvious recognition the most people, even if they want or are prepared to stomach Brexit, do not want to put racism ahead of the economy. Anything left after that will be attacked by a strengthen and bipartisan opposition determined to bring May and her government down.

Night Whitewave.

Which makes me wonder why there was no mention of a housing minister. It's the one thing that everyone agreed on.

Goodnight, whitewave. Try not to think of Maybot blowing up, or, even worse, eating children.

GracesGran, don't you think that Tories always forget what they voted for?

Lidington will fit in well with the DUP.

Dominic Lawson made a very valid point in the Sunday Times today: "I doubt any political party will again make the mistake of producing a responsible manifesto. They will all return to the hallowed custom of bribing the voters with their own money and making pledges they hope they are never obliged to redeem. Mrs May, the vicar’s daughter, seriously overestimated the British sense of public duty."
Instead so much of the electorate opted for freebies for everyone, regardless of how it would be paid for and regardless of how Jeremy Corbyn has behaved for the last 30 years. I can remember the horrendous 1970's though most of the posters here seem to have forgotten. I totally agree that Theresa May has made a pig's ear of things but a Corbyn government would be a hundred times worse.

Well Mrs May certainly overestimated something.........

My turn I think. Night all

Ahem! Dominic Lawson's father didn't exactly do a wonderful job as Chancellor.

All the manifestos were analysed by the IFS and the LibDem one was judged to make most economic sense. The Labour manifesto, despite the criticism from the MSM, was a social democratic manifesto and has been praised for attempting to stimulate the economy.

Hopefully, the idea of austerity is at last being seen as a sham:

1 Because it doesn't work
2 Because it causes genuine hardship

Wait for the big spin from the Tories after the 1922 meeting about how much faith they have in Mrs May - how she'll be the best person to take us forward into Brexit blah blah blah

We could write the script for them

tidyskatemum your post is an example of opinion not fact.

What has Nigel Lawson got to do with his son's article?

Good post tidyskatemum

Totally agree with you tidyskatemum.

Although with all his promised freebies Corbyn still lost by 56 seats.

They are not "freebies" - they are sound policies would relieve hardship and stimulate the economy. There are many economists who agree with this approach.

So we should support T May as she's "better than Corbyn" what an example of positive thinking. Even after 2 major terror attacks her popularity slumped. Some of us remember 20,000 police being cut. The police federation hasn't forgiven her. It's ok to bail out failing banks, pour huge amounts into changing school orgsnisation, give tax handouts to the wealthy, use taxpayers money for shareholders of train companies, HS2 vanity projects etc. But we have to cut public services don't we? May will also no doubt find a "magic money tree" to bribe the DUP, lots more dosh coming to Northern Ireland, any bets?

Doesn't it come down to aspirations?

Surely we all aspire to a better society where there is good education, health care and social care?

Or are some saying that this isn't what they want or simply put of reach?

After all it's us, our children and grandchildren who are living in a second class society otherwise.

out of reach

What a position to be in!! No one wants you, no one believes in you, everyone knows your days are numbered, you have to meet leaders in the EU who know you have no authority.

Bloody hell woman show some spine and tell them to stick it!!!!

David Davis -begun the spin this morning

Maybot has good pm skills and excellent communication skills! Blimey

Dominic Lawson's comments are just breathtaking. Son of a former chancellor and hasn't a clue about economics. Mind you, his father didn't, either.
Once again astonished at people lapping up the empty rhetoric.

Quite a lot kittylester because Lawson jnr is advocating a return to kind of economics, of which his father was a chief architect, and is one of the reasons the economy has been limping along for the last few decades.

I am perfectly calm durhamjen, just stating the facts, something a certain trio on here can't comprehend.a . Whitewave, Daphnedill, you seem to result to personal insults if you haven't an answer, is that how you deal with everything? I can understand youngsters being taken in by the promise of freebies for nothing, but those of us who have always had to work and know what happened in the seventies should have learnt some thing. May messed up, we have to make the best of a bad job, anything is better than the alternative.
