All these Trump threads on 20:09 - Jan 22 with 3245 views | WeWereZombies | Good point, well made. Although, depending on the date in June when this happened - which I haven't seen disclosed yet, I would have thought the responsibility for owning up was Fallon's as Defence Secretary or Cameron's rather than the then Home Secretary's. Be interesting to know whether it landed at sea or whether the US had to 'take it out'. | |

She shows poor judgement at times. The misfire happened on Cameron's watch. There is a majority in the commons from all sides to renew Trident so she would have had an easy ride had she been upfront about the misfire. Now she has dug herself into a hole. Thankfuly Jezza will give her a hand to get out of it, | |

I would imagine Fallon will be thrown overboard to take the heat of May being evasive. [Post edited 22 Jan 2017 20:49]

Next reshuffle maybe sideways. But he is quite the attack dog and has his role come election time. | |

I think it was important for the HOC to know the full facts before voting. I doubt the vote would have been much different with a shambles of an opposition leader voting against his own party's agreed line. As you say, it may have headed off the fuss now. | |

All these Trump threads on 16:24 - Jan 23 with 2824 views | IpswichIrish | The tories have religiously spouted the sun, daily mail, daily express bile that Corbyn is a security threat, now they refuse to answer questions on something as serious as this. For the record, I think trident is absolutely useless, un-usable, and a toxic waste of money. The NHS is on it's knees and May, 100% unelected is itching to jet off and see that orange block of lard in the states, the pervo Trump. Pathetic | | | |
All these Trump threads on 16:25 - Jan 23 with 2824 views | StokieBlue | Is it such a big deal though? Every missile has a self-disrupt and it's clearly not happened before. Sometimes things go wrong. As for May in general, I started off hopeful but I lose hope day by day with the way she is going about things. incredibly disappointing thus far. SB | |

All these Trump threads on 16:28 - Jan 23 with 2813 views | ITFC_Cotton | This is the reason they have tests for these missiles. The area they test the missiles in is large enough to allow for risks like this and as for no one finding out, the government will not disclose sensitive information about things like this. | | | |

It seems very muddled thinking on her part not to admit yesterday that she did know. There would have been a minor kerfuffle, but , given that the truth was bound to come out, she has made a molehill into a mountain. In much the same way, it is oddt to me that Trump and histeam have made such a big deal of the attendance at the inauguration. I guess that is just an ego thing. If he reacts like this continually he is going to make even more enemies. | | | |

You keep peddling this line that she is unelected. That's clearly nonsense. She was elected by her constituents to serve as a member of parliament. As a member of parliament she has every right to lead her party if she receives enough nominations. As the country voted in a Conservative government at the last general election she, as leader of the Conservative party, has a mandate to run the country. It may be of interest for you to know that in the past 100 years, half of our Prime Ministers have reached their position without winning a general election. Most recently the list includes Jim Callaghan, John Major and Gordon Brown. Our greatest Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, became PM without having to win a general election.

Of course it's a big deal. This happened just before the vote in Parliament on renewing Trident. | | | |

Didn't you bang on about Brown being unelected the whole time he was PM? | |

So what's your point? You cancel something based on one failure rather than far more numerous successes? Surely the argument against Trident was a moral rather than technical one in the house? Muddled thinking. SB | |

The vote on Trident was overwhelming . It is difficult to believe that it would have been different had parliament been told of the failed test. Not that I would defend the decision not to announce it though. | | | |
