She can't possibly stay - she's fatally wounded. Boris, Hammond and DD must be plotting as I post. Rudd a no-no, too close to her.

Well TM has sold her soul to the devil so she might as well have a couple of liars in there in Boris and Gove and those in the DUP implicated in dodgy deals with Banks and Farage.

What a bad example to young people.

Well lets put it this way- the dup recieved £435 k from an unknown source which they used to support brexit on mainland uk

Banks is the only one with those sort of resources. Farage and Banks friends. Farage the face of Brexit

But what's that got to do with the DUP - did Banks also give them money?

I'm losing the will .... grin

whitewave Sun 11-Jun-17 20:02:12

Riverwalk yes!!! Its like a nightmare, but him and Banks want payback after the £435k fund

Leadsome is pretty ineffectual, you wonder how on earth she is going to manage the house

Riverwalk Sun 11-Jun-17 20:00:11

Just listening to a Cambridge academic on BBC News - did she really say the DUP are pushing for a role for Nigel Farrage?

What's the connection? Think I've had too much sun today - maybe I imagined it hmm

Wonderful quote from Mumsnet: "Gove really is an unflushable turd - just when you dare to think he's gone for good there he is again rising from the u bend like last night's bad kebab"

Brilliant!

DUP don't work on Sundays.

Ginny42 Sun 11-Jun-17 19:39:12

It shows how desperate she is.

GracesGranMK2 Sun 11-Jun-17 19:33:57

I just heard the news about Gove ... is this a prescient warning of the end of the world?shocksad

Nandalot Sun 11-Jun-17 19:31:57

Gove for environment. Against teaching climate change in schools, opted for fracking in National Parks, Illinois of badgers, privatisation of national forests though calls himself a "shy green". Perfect candidate for the job.

whitewave Sun 11-Jun-17 19:04:15

Yes sad

whitewave Sun 11-Jun-17 19:00:58

Leadsom

House Leader

So Gove got the environment?

whitewave Sun 11-Jun-17 18:47:27

Gove at Downing Street!!!!!!angry

Whats left?

Rigby46 Sun 11-Jun-17 18:15:39

Of course she doesn't give a toss - if she gave a toss she wouldn't have called the election in the first place.

Baggs Sun 11-Jun-17 17:57:35

Thanks, nandalot. I'll check back who the whoever is!

whitewave Sun 11-Jun-17 17:53:39

So doesn't May care about the message of the election? Her none shuffle seems to suggest she doesn't give a toss.

whitewave Sun 11-Jun-17 17:37:37

baggs Hain was asked the question and he said there was never any question of a previous government working with the DUP.

But I think it is entirely irrelevant in the currant situation.

whitewave Sun 11-Jun-17 17:35:03

Hunt is a gift for Labour.

Nandalot Sun 11-Jun-17 17:31:54

Baggs. I've just been trying to do some research on internet into Gordon Brown and this twitter feed saying he tried to do a deal. It refers to a letter he sent to DUP assuring them that there would be no cuts to the block grant to NI. In it he states at least twice, that he wants to reassure the DUP and ALL the political parties in NI about this. Whoever is tweeting this is mischief making.

whitewave Sun 11-Jun-17 17:31:49

There's a report on the Beeb that people are being summoned and refusing to go!!!

My God I'd love to be a fly on the wall

durhamjen Sun 11-Jun-17 16:55:16

Nope, David Lidington, degrees in history and Elizabethan history - first Elizabeth, that is.

durhamjen Sun 11-Jun-17 16:37:51

I'd like to know who is justice secretary now that Liz Truss has been given another job.
Hope May chooses a legal person this time.

durhamjen Sun 11-Jun-17 16:36:42

His wife is one of her friends from university.

whitewave Sun 11-Jun-17 16:34:28

Isn't Damion Green friends with May? She's trying to build up a new set of close supporters. Someone should tell her it lost her majority last time, she needs to be inclusive, but I think that she is emotionally incapable of being so.
