as Prime Minister.
Energetic. Plain speaking. Works hard - and imaginatively - to get everybody involved and pulling in the same direction. Acknowleges a difficult situation and the limits of his options, but comes up with realistic ways to attack it. Understands the importance of keeping up morale. Carries people forward by the force of his personality.
Unfortunately, I can't currently see any leadership material like that in the Commons, certainly not on the front benches. |

or: See, it does work
Last night, I sent an email to my local MP about this evening's vote. Just had a reply informing which side he intends to be on and why.
It's not too late to influence the outcome of this, people! Get on to your MP and tell them how you want them to vote. |

for six months or so, then I'm beginning to think we should have a General Election.
Shake up the deadlocked House of Commons, maybe get rid of awkward problems like the DUP leverage. Find out where Jeremy Corbyn really stands. See what the country actually thinks of certain MP's performances. If there's enough specific Brexity stuff in the manifestoes, it will act as a kind of referendum on the approach people want to take.
Could be a good thing. Could just land us back exactly where we are now, but at least we'd have bought more time for preparations. |

Thread | All very well everyone having a go at Theresa May
at 09:17 11 Dec 2018
But it's worth remembering her task involved organising something which half the country didn't want in the first place and the other half couldn't decide what version they were after, dealing with a multi-headed entity having its own range of agendas and little incentive to make things easy. All the while plagued by brainless "advisors" and rivals more intent upon factional struggle or seizing power for themselves than the national interest.
It would have taken a politician of extraordinary talents to pull that off. May isn't that (neither is Johnson nor, I strongly suspect, Corbyn), but at least she's still fighting. |
