Theresa May and her "Strong and Stable" government is now in talks with the DUP which has had close connections with terrorists in the past, excuse me but I'm just not getting this, is it because this lot are Unionists whereas Sinn Fein are not?.
You've got some strange bedfellows Theresa but with less morals than an alley cat you'll try to sweep your hypocrisy under the carpet and try to carry on as normal. :doh:

A "Confidence and Supply" deal instead of a "Coalition of Chaos", what a useless pillock you're turning out to be Theresa, you based your main election strategy on Brexit but all you said on this fundamental question was "Brexit means Brexit" WTF! was all that about you silly mare, you've got to go Theresa and you've got to go now to preserve whatever dignity you've got left, which isn't much I can tell you.

Too bad that despite all Google AI and Alexa, translation software still is in an infant stadium. This comment on May's situation and her maybe real intentions is - brilliant if being proven correct, foolish if being proven wrong. :D

IN GERMAN:
http://bazonline.ch/ausland/europa/t...story/24668882

The author reflects on that May's real intentions maybe have been this: she wanted to get the Thather wing in her party, supporting a hard Braxit, under control by getting a strong majority in parliament - which would have allowed her to ignore the Thatcherists the more the stronger her general support in parliament would have been . That way she would have been allowed to lean more towards softer Brext negotiations, than the hard-Brexit Thatcherists would have forced her to deal out.

Interesting theory. If true, this ironically means that with her weakened position now she actually might need to accept hard Brexit conditions more than she planned to. However, one needs to see how the DUP will pull its new strings in government course plotting.

P.S. I know I know what she says in public, all the paroles and claims of her intentions, and that the media say she wanted a hard Brexit anyway. That is just the usual politicians' babbling, I do not give a penny for claims politicians make about what they want and what they plan and what they will do if only. Politicians lie if they find it opportune, that simple.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says he can "still be prime minister" as he aims to thwart Theresa May's attempt to run a minority government.

You what!

Jeremy even with anyone else the Tories are still the largest party. They will vote against you as much as they can and make your life a nightmare.

Labour 262
SNP 35
LibDems 12
Greens 1
Plaid Cymru 4
Others 1
TOTAL 315

I have not counted Sinn Fein as they refuse to sit in the HOC
Sinn Fein 7
Grand TOTAL 322

Conservatives 318
DUP 10
GRAND TOTAL 328

That is 6 more than you old JC. :doh:

You can not do it old boy, your only hope is another general election and to be honest a lot of people are fed up and want a break from all of this for the rest of the year.

Catfish 06-11-17 01:43 PM

^ :o Corbyn?! Maybe in a few years, if at all.
Seems politicians not only in Germany suffer from delusion :03:

Any new liferafts spotted at Drowning Street 10 today? Rumour says Madame May now dreams in French at nights, flying like Macronman.

Theresa May delays Queen's Speech as she grapples to lead minority government

Quick drop that and cross that out and put that lot on the back burner and keep the DUP happy very happy.

Beginning to look like the makings of a new carry on film..

Carry On May...Coming soon this winter.

Moonlight 06-12-17 11:38 AM

She's meeting with the 1922 Committee right now, Instead of a Prime Minister standing tall and staring them down she'll be getting torn to shreds by them instead, in effect she'll become a puppet Prime Minister who'll be controlled by her cabinet and her backbenchers if she doesn't win them over.
Good luck Mrs Maybot you're going to need it, you're going to have to think fast on your feet for once because these pillocks will not take any more of your useless soundbites. I can see her surviving this encounter but any more screw ups from her and she'll be got rid of just like they got rid of Margaret Thatcher and Ian Duncan Smith.

BEWARE THE MEN IN GREY SUITS.
