I followed PMQ's on twitter and most columnists and Daily Politics etc were pretty scathing of May.

Left leaning paper saying conservative pm did badly at PMQ's, has that ever happened before? What about a fact based analysis of PMQ's?

Sure. Here's her first blunder.

Really? But today she said:

"Let me be crystal clear about this, and it is a point I have made directly to the UK Government, the Scottish Government will not be window dressing in a talking shop to allow the UK Government to simply tick a box. "We expect to have, along with the other devolved nations, a role in decision-making, we expect our engagement to be meaningful."



Now, if Scotland is to hold a referendum and leave the UK, why should the rest of the UK take any notice of Scotland's wishes when in a couple of years you'll be off.

No one cares.

you are completley delusional

the ONLY thing that matters is whether/when the polls for iscotland will show 60%.


but I'm sure you will write another few hundred posts about how a SNP politician has completely demolished an English politician and that somehow this shows you are nearer another referendum

And will Scotland's future as an independent country inside the EU have been guaranteed at that point?

On what basis do you conclude Angus did well and May did not? If we're talking about facts not fantasy then May came out on top of Robertson, reminding him of the trade situation between Scotland, rUK and the EU.

I would say on the basis he asked a question and she didn't answer ... twice ... but then Cameron didn't answer his questions either ... maybe these days we are meant to co sider people doing great when they don't answer simple questions ?

Oh do you mean like Swinney when asked about Independence start up costs.

"SNP Finance Minister John Swinney was ridiculed yesterday – after a car-crash radio interview in which he was asked THIRTEEN times what the start-up costs would be for an independent Scotland but failed to give an answer"

Here is a link to remind you.

That's a tenuous link to make to persuade me she did badly at PMQ's.

Another tweet from the guy whose tweet she read out aimed at Jeremy Corbyn.

He asked a question in full knowledge that they are currently unable to answer. Because to answer it would put us at a massive disadvantage when it comes to the actual grown up people negotiations.

He was political point scoring. And then he got schooled after he tried it.

See I reckon he was standing up for the people of Scotland, this Brexit is a total disaster, here we are over 2 months later and all we are getting is brexit means Brexit, we can't even get an understanding of what May thinks Brexit means ... but we do know it means Brexit ...
