Government Watch - 2

I think it does maryeliza. I don't think anyone should be put through what her party is putting her through and they are only able to do it because she is trying to do because they know she is fundamentally not a Boris (self-seeking) or a Cameron (cowardly). I may disagree with her politics but that does not mean I want to see anyone going through such trauma.

Of course she's not a bad person ( that accolade as we all know belongs to JC). But I judge her by what she does as a politician and I'm not impressed. At the moment, not putting a pause on UC that will impact over Christmas is wicked.Thatll do for starters. Calling the last election demonstrated poor judgement. The deal with the DUP expensive and tawdry. Being a bad person doesn't come into it

I think Theresa May is not a bad person. I truly believe that she believes she can help people prosper. I also believe that she has not one iota of insight into the issues that 'people have had because this Conservative government choose to not only support the banks but the bankers and all those who continued to take huge amounts of money in salaries while their businesses kept general salaries down and people work, yes, but work for poverty wages.

... and her speech has not changed my views in the least.

I saw that yesterday, FarNorth.
I agree with Weber. Johnson is no good for Brexit or for Britain.

Here's a good marriage.

This is how the UK government is viewed by the leader of the European People's Party, the largest party in the European parliament.

Oohhh that Boris - he's such a wit. And Libya's such a joking matter

Apparently Boris's comment about dead bodies was supposed to be a joke.

There are some people who think he's just trying really hard to get sacked.

Does that mean that Northern Ireland is going to be sacrificed for Brexit?

The British dream....

Has anyone else noticed that we are hearing more about Britain and Great Britain and less and less about the UK - or is it just me.

Today will of course soon be yesterday’s news, but I do wonder what balls have been set in motion after today’s disaster.

The biggest problem for the Tories is that there is no one of suitable competence to replace Maybot

Things that stick to the wall better than the Tory slogan.

Boris has to go elsewhere in the world to find youngsters who disagree with Corbyn - although I doubt he really asked them.

I had a good marriage. My husband and I were equally sarky about the Tory party.
I imagine Phil is just as nasty about Corbyn as she is.

My point was that how happy her marriage is irrelevant to a political discussion. And what on earth make you think that saying that means anything at all about the state of other people's marriages? Nice to know that you've a happy marriage however, I also think that there are many on here who have or had and certainly in my group of close friends and family there are a lot of happy marriages where the partners rely on, confide in and trust each other. Not as rare as you might care to think niggly

My comment was not sarkey.
It's lovely for anyone who has a good marriage but how does TM's marriage relate to her being Prime Minister, and the performance of her government?

A happy marriage has certainly helped me through some very tough times. Being able to rely on, confide in and totally trust your partner is a great morale/confidence booster. It's a rarity these days I know so I'm not surprised at the sarkey comments.

Why on earth does it matter how happy her marriage is? Completely irrelevant

PM radio 4, torn her speech to shreds.

That's nice for them, nellie.
How is it relevant to her being Prime Minister, and the performance of her government?

"The Bill of Rights is an Act of the Parliament of England that deals with constitutional matters and sets out certain basic civil rights. ... "

GracesGran quoted this. I'm not sure where it's from.

Shouldn't it say "Parliament of the UK"?

And don't forget that she is extremely wealthy, too, nellie. Always a help.

For all the mishaps, sneering and back stabbing, TM has one major thing going for her and that is the love, devotion and total loyalty of her husband. No way was that hug and kiss false or contrived. They're genuinely a happily married couple who adore each other through good times and bad , a situation I think a lot of people would give their eye teeth for.
