New leaders by the minute.
Keep calm and elect on..

Oberon 07-11-16 06:34 AM

She'll resign tomorrow. :haha:

STEED 07-11-16 06:53 AM

So "Leadsom" is out which goes to show how junior she is. If the resent events were the other way around bet "May" would still be standing.

So that just leaves us with UKIP the Greens and to a lesser extent Labour which we all know JC will come though will flying colours.

Oberon 07-11-16 06:56 AM

UKIP will just 'elect' Farage again. :haha:

Scottish Tory Leader Ruth Davidson offers Theresa May her full support: LINK.

Nicola Sturgeon has congratulated May on her win and wishes that there will be a "constructive relationship" between a May led government and the SNP one at Holyrood. However, both Sturgeon and the SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson have bluntly reminded May of the Scottish pro-remain vote in the EURef. No link so far, but it was mentioned on BBC Reporting Scotland at 18.30. Current speculation is that the SNP will probably support a Norway-style EEA deal for the UK.

Finally, the Finance Ministers from the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish devolved administrations have requested an urgent meeting with the Chancellor to discuss the impact of Brexit on their budgets: LINK.

Theresa May promised to build a "better Britain" and to make the UK's EU exit a "success" after she was announced as the new Tory leader and soon-to-be PM.

Only time will tell but I somehow doubt it.

Agreed.

But here is the crunch point, if she delays after March 31st 2017 then the situation changes as Article 50 will need the backing of 14 EU States for the UK to leave.

Now the game of poker is she holding a Royal Flush before March 31st 2017 or bluffing it out to after that date? :hmmm:

Chancellor George Osborne has vowed to create a "more outward-looking, global-facing Britain" following the UK vote to leave the European Union.
Even closer economic ties between the UK and US are in the "overwhelming interest of both countries", he has written in the Wall Street Journal.
Although the UK is leaving the EU, "we are not quitting the world", he said.

Well I see he has changed the record yet again. :rolleyes:

"Free trade bacon" sounds good :hmmm:

oh wait .. :O:

Catfish 07-12-16 06:14 AM

But.. Theresa May on wednesday? Really? :hmmm:
Scrap the European Human Rights Charter (UK being one of the main driving forces behind the EHRC).
Scrap free-speech and privacy, track everything that people do online.
Scrap worker's rights.
Fan up anti-immigration hate.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...lly-wrong.html

Almost all she said is "wrong" to not call itan outright lie. She has not even be elected but .. all is good and she will work for the good of the people.
We will see. Britain will see it first.

MGR1 07-12-16 11:44 AM

May does have something of a headache when it comes to the ECHR as it's incorporated into the devolution settlements for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I think it also forms part of the peace process in Northern Ireland via the Good Friday Agreement. Any change to the latter would probably need to be negotiated with the Irish Government.

Mike.
