So, Theresa May, has in a very short space of time 08:01 - Jun 27 with 10878 views

- Shot her bolt re. her majority
- Made Corbyn almost seem electable
- Made herself look incredibly weak and nervous
- U turned on just about every manifesto pledge (though no surprise here)
- Has now confirmed the existence of the Magic Money Tree
- Royally p*ssed off the Scots and Welsh and likely a proportion of the English in finding a Â£1bn to spend in NI (not that NI shouldn't have investment by the way)

That's pretty good going isn't it?

2 years and she's gone. Why else put a review clause (after 2 years) in the deal with the DUP?

She'll see through Brexit and then the Tories will ditch her. They'd ditch her tomorrow but the contenders all know Brexit is a royal fckup and they'll let her deliver it before making their move.

Her lasting 2 years seems optimistic. I just can't see how she'll survive that long.

Just the person to negotiate a good exit deal from the EU.

It's rare that a political party has been so damned by two of its own slogans as the Tories now are by 'Strong and Stable' and the 'Magic Money Tree'.

Although as Janen Ganesh put it in the FT she stays in power only because:

"Tories have cast around their number, examined candidates to replace Mrs May and concluded that rumours of their mediocrity are, if anything, too kind."

Link here but it's behind a paywall.

They want to ditch her, but you need someone willing and able to replace her. Boris is tainted by his Brexit promises, so will want to wait until that is a done deal.

Don't see any other serious contenders, Hammond is too centre for many Tories, any other genuine prospects?

To be fair to her, she has succeeded in one of her stated aims as Prime Minister....she has "united the country"

Everybody agrees that she is a second-rate chancer attempting to operate way beyond her capabilities

I think another GE is quite possible rather than May going and being replaced by a new Tory PM. I think the groundswell of ill feeling towards her and her party will be too much for them to survive for as long as 2 years.

Yep, it's actually hilarious that Boris leaked his own whatsapp messages to try and rally support for May - just so he could avoid being put in to sort out the mess he created.

Hopefully it's slowly dawning on most people now that Brexit is a made up fantasy land, dreamt up to settle a civil war in the Tory party.

The obvious candidates are Boris & David Davis. Both would be poor choices, but the Tory members have a big say - remember they came up with Michael Howard & Ian Duncan Smith. They need to come up with a younger leader, preferably someone who isn't an Etonian & change some - but not all - of their policies.

The members didn't choose Howard. He was elected unopposed.

In some ways they need a new younger leader without the baggage of some of their more senior figures. Both Cameron and Blair were given the senior position with little or no Cabinet experience, but they both were elected in opposition. Taking on the role of Prime Minister in a minority government is a very demanding task and I find it unlikely that an "unknown" would have the command of the party to be able to lead.

Crowd at Northamptonshire village fete breaks into chant of 'Andrea Leadsom'

A PASSIONATE crowd of about 15 people broke into chants of ‘Oh, Andrea Leadsom’ at a village fete in Northamptonshire yesterday.

The chant, to the tune of The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army, spread rapidly through the crowd in the village of Spemble, before Leadsom surprised everyone by turning up and doing the tombola.

Local resident, Tom Booker, said: “Everyone around me was chanting her name.

“From the cheese stand to the balloon corner, everyone let it be known that they wanted Andrea Leadsom to run this country.

“It was kind of deafening when I think about it.”

Fellow resident, Emma Bradford, added: “You can’t argue with those kinds of numbers.”

Leadsom then gave a rousing three minute speech about ‘why we should all be more patriotic’, ending with a quote she claimed was from Gandhi but was actually from Hermann Goering
