Policies please!!!

By the way, are you going to grace Newcastle on Tyne with your presence today, Freedom on the Tyne, commemorating Martin Luther King's visit 50 years ago?

Newcastle upon Tyne? Isn't that in Scotland? I have an agreement with Ruth that if she stays her side of the border I will stay mine.

Oh, thank you for mentioning Ruth. She has done such wonders for Scotland!
Um, could you remind me what those wonders might be?

She is (apparently) the resurgence of the Conservative party North of the border. I'm not clear about what she has done, just that I don't want her doing it down here!

Hmm, she does seem to be quite good at standing around looking strong and stable.
And all that posing on buffaloes and army tanks!
I see your point.

Sorry to bring things back to basics, Theresa, but could you tell us if it is true that you had weekly reports on sexpests in your party when you were home office minister, and the whips blackmailed them?
No need for the details; just a straight yes or no will suffice.

I only wish I had thought of it dj what a clever idea. And I totally deny that that's how I won the leadership race. But I may know where the bodies are buried!

So the reports on twitter, etc., are not true, then?

If you really want any ideas from anyone, you could always read this website.

You don't have to tell us if you've 'borrowed' any.

dj please do not expect a straight yes or no- those words are alien to every MP especially the PM.

I also hope that the dizziness has settled down now, running around in circles changing so many policies.

I know the feeling but I am feeling very dizzy because I started a new drug- that is not your excuse.

Working on May's principle that if you say something often enough you get a response, Charley.

Abolish all religious schools, State or Private, and remove charitable status for Private Schools. And Reform House of Lords to reflect the reality of UK today - hopefully no religious appointments, or at least representative of population at large.

I would be very pleased if she did all those, jura.
I would also be amazed, considering how much all her friends make out of the education system.

Abolish religious schools! Daddy was vicar you know (although we don't talk about him) And what would we do with the bishops?

The bishops can get on with the day job, surely. They don't have to be in the Lords. In fact they are probably all asleep there. It would be doing them a favour.

Some would say they are better kept sleeping in the Lords than being out and about dj

This was not an anti-religion comment - just that religion, or lack of, is a private matter. It should never be mixed with schools nor government and judiciary. That's all. What people do in their private lives is of no concern of mine. Each to to their own.

Dear Theresa, you really should weed out the sex pests from the cabinet. You undoubtedly already know who they are.

But you haven't a great record on investigating sexual abuse have you? Did you deliberately sabotage that enquiry?

It can't be a surprise to you that the Tory party is riddled with sexual abuse can it? But then Margaret Thatcher appointed known paedophiles to her office when she was PM.

But don't we pay them extra to sleep in the Lords - £300 a day, I think.
Imagine what the homeless would be able to do with that.

That's an idea.
I would be very pleased if you could show your compassion for the homeless by building them homes instead of subsidising the bishops in the Lords.
After all, it's a government for everyone, isn't it?

Well said, jura and can we add forbid forign citizens and tax exiles from owning national newspapers?

She knows, mostlyharmless. She used to get weekly reports about them when she was home office minister, so the whips could bribe them.
Not that she has admitted it on here, of course.

I would be pleased if May would sort out the tax system so those who have committed tax fraud could be made to pay up.

Mind, most of the policies that we have been requesting she says she already has in hand anyway, including tax fraud.
I think the request in the OP was just an exercise in buying time. Is that right, Theresa?

Wow! has Harry Leslie Smith got Hunt right?

Second one down. Daren't put the picture file on here.

Regretfully I will be unable topmost on here for the next week. I hope to be back on 6th Nov, but as we all know a week is a long time in politics and anything could happen.

Why topmost? to post!!!

Going surreptitiously to Brussels?

I have just been reading on Bloomberg that the EU has offered the UK two extra rounds of talks before December, but so far the UK has not responded to this offer.
Or have you?
