Perfectly easy, if May shows all that "unbelievable grace and steel", all what happens now can be blamed on May, and not on him.It is all a game, for those who have received the education to become politicians and "leaders".
"Asked about about any leadership contest, he said there would not be a vacancy "for a very long time"."
Boris Johnson won his brexit campaign, why should he carry the burden of seeing it through and take the blame :yeah:


Regarding "praising Donald trump's approach to politics", at least he said it only is an approach :haha:

At this rate she'll soon be changing her name from May to Thatcher.

Quote:

Theresa May has rejected claims the UK is losing global influence because of Brexit, insisting it will continue to be "bold" on the world stage.
Speaking at the G20 summit in Hamburg, the prime minister said in areas like free trade and counter-terrorism, the UK remained a key international player.
Amid speculation about her future after the election, she said she would take a lead, not "sit back" and be "timid".

^ What shall she say, she was not for brexit, and now she has to defend it against all.

Let Johnson be prime minister, at least we will have fun :yeah: :yep:

I placed this one in here jim as i'm going to make a broad comment and not focus all of it on Grenfell.

Quote:

Jeremy Corbyn says Grenfell fire was a 'terrible consequence' of austerity

The Labour leader will criticise Conservative "hypocrisy and dishonesty" and accuse the Tory party of "doing things on the cheap".
http://news.sky.com/story/jeremy-cor...erity-10941057

Granted JC has not made his comment yet but i find that sort of headline cheap and nasty, please do not tell me JC and labour have never done anything on the cheap because in my book they all are at it.

And to use this terrible event for political capital is dam right low of JC who claims he rises up above this sort of thing. I find any politician from any party using terrible events just like this one to score points dam right repugnant. Shame on you JC if you do.

This can only stregthen Mays hand in in Brexit negotiations I should imagine.

Quote:

US President Donald Trump has said he expects a "powerful" trade deal with the UK to be completed "very quickly".
Speaking at the G20 summit in Hamburg, he said he would visit London. Asked when, he said: "We'll work that out."
In one-to-one talks, Mr Trump and UK Prime Minister Theresa May agreed to prioritise work on a post-Brexit trade deal, a UK government official said.
The president made it clear he believed Britain would "thrive" once it had left the European Union, the official added.

What could be done is a framework of the talks to take place if we leave the EU, that way it would speed things up a bit post Brexit.

Now give me the answer to this old boy, if the boot was on the other foot how much capital would the Tory party and the right wing media be making out of this, Hillsborough disaster and the Sun newspaper anyone?. :o https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...hing.football1

Theresa May and the rest of her Tory filth would be milking it for all its worth, there's no depth deep enough that these political parties won't sink to even if it involved the deaths of hundreds of people.
To these politicians its all a bloody game old boy, they don't care one bit for the devastated families involved in these tragedies either, any tears shed by these muppets are crocodile ones so why you haven't realised this yet is beyond me. :doh:

May must quit now, says chief Davis ally: Devastating attack by former Chief Whip as 'kamikaze' hardliners move against the PM

  • Former Tory Cabinet Minister Andrew Mitchell, a close ally of Brexit Secretary David Davis, reportedly said Theresa May had lost all authority and should go
  • The comments were made during a secret Commons dinner on June 26
  • Disclosure came amid reports Mr Davis's allies urged him to challenge Mrs May
  • A 'kamikaze' group of Right-wing Tory MPs said they are ready to risk handing over power to Jeremy Corbyn as it would boost the Tories in the long term

Good luck with your new friends Erdoghan and Trump :yeah:
if there ever was a reason for the EU to stay together, it has become obvious in this G20 summit.

No friends of mine, my comment was a generalisation, presumed recognition as to how May would perceive the situation and outcome of the meeting.

I took it too literally, without thinking; though i should have known what you meant. Sorry.
I just cannot understand the people who voluntarily voted for Trump, or Erdoghan. And i hate our government for obviously thinking that appeasement is the right way.

Theresa May is to say she has an "unshakeable sense of purpose" to build a "fairer Britain" in her first big speech since losing her majority.

The Donald always talks like thunder, his muscles pumping in his chest. What May needs is that it in fact rains.

Don't bet on it happening.

Wouldn't dream of it.

There is a saying here in the UK that I firmly believe in: How do you know that a politician is lying? Their lips start moving.
