Government Watch - 2

Lack-lustre Green sending them all to sleep

gg just had a look. There only seems to be seats in the centre of the hall. The sides are empty.

They are watching a video on the time May lied to the Queen

Compare Mays panicky Marr interview this morning with Corbyn solid performance last week.

The conference looks awfully empty.

This is very off topic but also very funny so I thought I'd risk it especially with this mornings news. My christian values, by Jacob Rees-Mogg

Thanks Maisie. I have never got the hang of twitter so it's good to see what is being said.

My eyebrows went quite high reading the May and the Queen piece. No wonder they were annoyed.

I expect the right wing will be criticising Marr for asking questions she couldn't answer very well. Shame on him

With regard to the Queen, I thought at the time that Her Maj would be seriously miffed at Mays total lack of manners and truth. The fact that the Queen wrapped herself in the EU flag said it all I thought.

Yes I thought she was quite dreadful on Marr - shrill without making any real sense

Listening to Hestletine I think he is saying that they need someone to come forward who takes account of the 48% (mainly young) and not just the 52% (mainly older and old) and looks for an across the EU change in immigration that allows us to stay in. He can't see that person though.

(Love the Yorkshire Commoners Choir!)

And this is part of the story about the Queen and May. For 'palace officials' I think we can read 'the Queen'

The feeling on twitter is that May's Marr interview this morning was a total disaster. This is not from my own 'bubble', but from the marr hashtag

How 'interesting' will their conference be?

Interesting to watch Michael Heseltine who talks about 'changing the song' but this seems to be only about Brexit - no sense that what they are doing to people being wrong.

I wish whitewave. I would be happy if she allowed Parliament a vote but I think that may come back to haunt her (hopefully).

If they knew there was to be a vote it might mean we hear less from loud-mouthed buffoons. There is such a sense of "it is our right to govern" with very little to back it up as far as I can see.

No, better in pissing out I suppose, but quite honestly the way they are all behaving at the moment would it matter?

She didn't say she would sack Boris, did she, whitewave?

But Rees-Mogg said it wasn't hypocrisy, maryeliza. Straight from the horse's mouth.

Too many horses in the Tory party!

Help to buy, eh?
What about all the councils which need to build more council housing but are still capped?

What about the fund for community-led housing which appears to have disappeared in the last year?

Yo ho - "never a mistake to give people the opportunity to vote" - straight from the horses mouth!!

We can confidently assume that we will be given the opportunity to vote on the Brexit final decision. At last!!!

Oh really durham ? His supporters on here were so adamant about what a thoroughly moral, ethical decent guy he is, they must want to explain this apparent hypocrisy

Magic money trees all over the place!!

Help to buy. So that will be clever if nothing is done about supply. We all know that the prices are sky high because of lack of supply - so raising demand without addressing the supply side isn't terribly intelligent.

You may have to wait a long time, maryeliza.

Quite uptight isn't she?

JRM is doing what all Tories do. Sell his grandmother if he thought there was money in it.

They know the price of everything but the value of nothing

If JRM really said that the law in Indonesia would satisfy the Vatican he is lying. The law there apparently allows abortion in cases of rape - the Vatican doesn't and JRM certainly doesn't think it's acceptable. This tells us absolutely everything we need to know about this sorry excuse for a man - when it's a choice between making money and followng your principles, then the former wins every time. I'd love to read what his GN supporters who defended him because he was following his principles and beliefs have to say now.

There is now such a stench of desperation about TM and this government.
