    May returning to London with no fewer than 6 police vehicles, while the public are being put at risk by police cuts.

    Completely unreasonable.
    Don't the police determine what is required to protect our Prime Minister?
    Explain your logic beyond a cheap shot.
    Doesn't matter if it is JC or TM or whoever BTW.
    Bizarre.

    May ran a remain campaign, project fear lost the referendum and she did not learn.
    Frankly incompetence of the highest order. Who wants an incompetent Prime Minister.
    Britain is walking towards the cliff edge which is Brexit while it is clear that the voters with more information 12 months on would vote remain.
    Surely someone has to be big enough to call out that "the king has no cloths" and to STOP BREXIT.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    A mess. A dog's breakfast.

    Do Brits really even want to leave the Eu?
    .
    I think they still do, but not the destructive brexit as was proposed by Maybot.
    Hard brexit is definitely off the table now. Lovely jubbly!

    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.
  • TM Wins best own goal of the season ias voted for the public and the pundits.

    In fact she won with several strikes of similar stupidity:-

    - claiming to be strong but unable to debate as everyone else did
    - a change in care tactics that was not thought through
    - thinks there is still a debate about the foxes
    - can only do one trick "strong and..."
    - saying bad brexit was better than whether true or not
    - adopting an aggressive stance - rather than we want a fair and sensible brexit
    - failing to land a meaningful punch on her opponent that swayed anyone not already voting for her

    And should also win the Oscar for worst performance by a PM.

    I think you need to go figure. It's about momentum and context is everything. ....;)

    That is not clear at all.

    I voted remain, but after the reaction of the eu and the direction they want to go in I would definitely vote leave now, and I know a lot of people like that.

    What really made my mind up? Jean-Claude Juncker asked eu leaders not to hold any more referendums because the people might have the cheek to vote to leave.

    So basically saying don't let the people chose.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    How does he expect to be PM if he can't win against the least popular PM in decades? May couldn't have f!!ked up more. She was handing it out on a silver platter and Jezza still came 2nd. Now we will all suffer while there is so much uncertainty.

    It's good news. It now means they can't pursue a hard brexit and will have to consider all us remainers as well in their calculations!
    David Davis a caretaker leader then we'll have another election in the autumn. The Labour Party will be energised by this.
