Policies please!!!

I wonder if you would be so kind as to move your friend Liam to a position more suited to his abilities as a novice in international trade?

He is making the UK look silly.

dj I am thinking off sending Michael off to do some very detailed research into glyphosate. Do you have any idea about what a lethal dose how safe it is for human consumption?

I'm not sure about the party logo. There is a lot to deal with and it is something I really haven't considered.

Those suggestions for a logo seem slightly negative. I think a pretty money tree would give the correct, positive message.

Brilliant posts everyone. The power of humour! How come we don't get these serious discussions up on 'Grans net Daily'?

I was thinking anything but a tree, FarNorth. They had a tree, a green tree, when they were pretending to be the greenest government ever.

What about a wheel, so they can do endless u-turns without effort?

Thank you for thinking about moving Michael. I will see if I can find out the lethal dose.

In the meantime, perhaps you could do the same for the other Michael, Fallon, as he has just broke international law by telling MPs not to ask him to stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia as he needs to sell more to his friends.

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has told MPs to stop criticising Saudi Arabia so we can sell them more weapons.

"He told MPs criticism of the regime's brutal bombardment of Yemen is "unhelpful" while Britain is trying to finalise a deal with BAE Systems to sell the Kingdom a further batch of Eurofighter jets.

Labour said his comments were "extremely concerning".

The UK has licensed almost $4 billion worth of arms to the Kingdom since the Saudi-led bombing of Yemen started in 2015.

Both the UN and Human Rights Watch have said the intervention is in breach of international law."

200 ml of neat Roundup will kill a human. Most people who have died through glyphosate poisoning are farmers who committed suicide intentionally.

Just broken international law.

We could have a pretty money tree for our logo, but I think the DUP would want their initials all over it!
I don't need a wheel I can mange u-turns all by myself

The Saudis have given me many assurances about the arms, and they are our friends you know.
200ml. mmm.... next time Michael drops in for coffee.......

@Teresa FFS sign off on the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon and stop paying consultants to write more and more reports about it.
Otherwise that nice new MP , you know Tonia, who used to play rugby so well, might lose her patience.
And while you're at it - really, if you want to make headlines with "suggestions" - I won't call them "policies" - you will really have to do better than the oh-so-trendy "gig economy" idea of paying people with a spare ensuite to take in frail and elderly post-surgical patients in and "cook them 3 microwave meals a day"

She might go into a decline if you talk to her like that, Jess - although I do agree with you.

Theresa - I stand by my comments about the northern poor house, though I do understand why trisher may feel offended by this (realistic) description of our northern regions. I'm a Lancashire lass, with ancestors from maternal and paternal families who worked in the cotton mills. One grannie grew up in Ancoats and had her 3rd baby I the Sally Army hospital. Tough times eh. I don't say it's as grim as that up north these days but - we lack transport that's affordable and effective. We need investment in our infrastructure, in our wonderful former cotton towns where there is little employment and those int'south send us their poor and their asylum seekers because our rents are cheaper. We don't mind these people being shipped in, we're a friendly welcoming lot - but please can we have some investment so these new comers and our grandchildren can find work.
Plus - this notion that we take in the folks that don't fit the criteria/there isn't enough social care beds to look after them once the hospitals decide they need "social" not "nursing" care should come and live with just about anyone who has a spare room, for £50 a night , well it's nonsense isn't it. Think on lass!

JessM A lot of my friends are consultants, or have children who are consultants and they need to work you know. I'm just keeping the employment numbers up.
Iam64 I have great problems with the Northern Poor House it was the legacy of that slimy weasel my colleague George Osborne. And he of course jumped ship with the other rat David Cameron. I do wonder sometimes if they knew something I didn't.
As for my bed scheme, it seemed like a brilliant idea after an evening out.

Dear Theresa
It sounds as if you feel that Dear David and his good friend George deliberately abandoned Downing Street leaving for others the impossible situation of guiding the country through Brexit.

Did you not realise that it was a poisoned chalice when you put your name forward as party leader?

Aren't you tempted to run away and leave the role to some other gullible ambitious Tory? Or perhaps you are just sabotaging the process until everyone agrees that Brexit is impossible to achieve without severely damaging the UK's economy?

You deserve an early retirement after all this juggling and manoeuvring. I'm sure the fact that you're a WASPI woman won't bother you too much as I expect DH has a bit put by.

Almost feel sorry for you Theresa. There was 'im indoors urging you to go for the top job. And there you were, working so hard and then dodging and weaving and hiding in the girls toilet during the referendum campaign. And then it seemed like your prayers had been answered when the candidates who stood against you for the leadership were such a joke... But then you realised that working hard was not enough to sort out Brexit. And then your hubby talked you into that embarrassing election. So here you are, up to your neck in vipers and creepycrawlies. A word of advice - stop taking your husband's advice and pop over to GN next time you have a big decision to make.

I think it's great that you're hanging on in there, Theresa, to stave off the chance of Boris getting in as PM.
That's one good thing you're doing for us although it's not an official policy.

My apologies for harping back about our lack of decent houses and flats. If we build on every available blade of grass, then these houses and flats could be sold for a song after a short time as council property and then we are back to square one again. Is that not what Margaret T wanted?

Please can you ensure that we stay in the EU until after this tax problem has been resolved?

You should appreciate it as it's a problem that Osborne caused.
You might want to warn hubby, though, as I am sure he works for companies that use tax havens.

Charleygirl I did have a brilliant idea for housing the homeless for Christmas that involved everyone who had a nice garden shed or a garage to spare, but the backlash about the spare rooms for hospital discharges has made me think again. (Well it was that and that someone suggested we should start with No10 and Chequers -there are limits you know)
dj hubby has just rushed out to see someone. I think I heard him mutter something under his breath about "Getting Gideon" I am uncertain if this is some sort of religious revelation or something else.
JessM I am here and looking for advice. But I have a feeling that some on GN do not take this seriously and are not as dedicated to Strong and Stable as they might be.

Dear Mrs May. I think you should really do something about the traffic on the A1. It took me 7 hours on Wednesday to do a journey that normally takes 5. Can you get it sorted by tomorrow when I'm driving back up north. I'm asking you this because I'm a regular reader of the Daily Mail and I see from the BTL comments that it isn't at all necessary to say anything relevant to the topic being discussed
P.S I'm a little bit worried by the different messages that come out each day about Brexit but I know that your firm and unwavering determination to Leave at all costs (however much they might ruin our economy) will have the whole thing sorted out pretty soon and I'm right behind you. xx

MaizieD I really do sympathise. It must be terrible. Couldn't you just stay down south? I mean I know that there are people up north, but I didn't realise they had cars.
Thank you for your support on Brexit. There are a lot of people behind me. Would you mind keeping an eye open for any knives?

Will do, Mrs May.
I have my trusty Swiss Army Knife with me at all times. I'll use it if necessary...

trisher I am afraid that your idea for housing the homeless in garden sheds is up and running in my neck of the woods, NW London. There are helicopters which fly around seeking heat from said garden sheds to identify culprits. One house also had 28 people living inside, I hope that they worked shifts or it would have been a tad overcrowded. Still, look at the money that can be made and one does not have to do it for long to make dosh.

That's encouraging to know, Charley.
So, TM, you can get that idea out of cold storage again. I'm sure people will soon get used to your convalescent lodgers idea, also, when they realise the alternatives benefits to them.
