Threeza reached out because she is desperate and weak and terrified that the Brexit debacle will be hung around her neck – which it will.

What he wants, and has offered, is for the Tories to stand back and let him sort it as PM with a minority government.

Please, Corbyn couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag....if he did get into power the EU would immediately bend him over and there would be no brexit.....he doesnt even have the guts to state his stance on that 'we want a jobs first brexit' what the hell does that even mean....

as numerous people have said that he still cannot get into his head YOU CANNOT REMAIN IN THE SINGLE MARKET AND LEAVE THE EU!

btw, Corbyn supporters, I suggest a new chant "Ohhh Jeremy Corbyn, you're so full of sh**".

May and Corbyn are like the north and south pole, they couldn't be further apart politicly!
Corbyn likes the limelight but doesn't want to share it with may, why would he?

Then Corbyn won't last. Simple as that. Holding different views is not a crime in this country. Ever heard of compromise? Without it very little would ever be achieved.

Theresa May's ship is sinking and her colleagues won't have any qualms about hopping into the lifeboats and leaving her to drown.

Why anyone thinks Corbyn would be happy to jump aboard is beyond me.

You don't have to jump aboard the same vessel to sail in the same direction on something (apparently Corbyn and May agree Brexit must happen).

Or will Corbyn stand back and then claim he made Brexit work from the very sidelines just the he claims he made the Good Friday Agreement happen?

And presumably by that token Corbyn won't step forwards, because he could not do any better but hopes to gain by watching that disaster happen.

A disaster if true that will affect his country and his voters as much or as is likely more than the rich and comfortable.

He wants to let that happen just so he can claim power then?

Mrs May is a Siren trying to lure the opposition and unsuspecting colleagues to their doom. She sails alone, she's taken a bit hit below the waterline and you won't be seeing Boris, Davis or Gove manning the bilge pumps. It's a bit much to think the leader of the opposition will be helping with the rescue either.

Yes. I concur it seems inevitable unless she pulls of a Dumbledore style Brexit success, she will go. But none of those are going to step forwards yet. So until then...they will go about their roles.

Still leaves Corbyn to decide if he will try to scupper a decent Brexit or join in to shape a better future however disdainful the bed-fellows (just like with the IRA).

Or if he will sacrifice one in his quest for power?

So to be applying with CSEs or O levels - they would have to be aged around 47. Both stopped in 1987/88.

As you still fail to gather, being suitable to train to become a nurse is about more than academic prowess at GCSEs.

I am starting to think the 8 you mention you got so easily, are evidence the speed of thought you deem essential for a nurse is not solely down to academic brilliance ;-)

There you go you have just proved that they don't need degrees so there is no point in running any nursing courses for ordinary nursing and the super nurses the ones that need to know a lot more to do their job can go to a top university not one that accepts anything under a grade A. All the other can do training on the job since the qualifications that they get now to go to university are not worth the paper they are printed on. This also means that the degrees are not worth the paper they are printed on.

Er not at all - on the job training for nurses is a key part of their training just as it is for doctors. But, that goes alongside medical studies.

But, just like doctors getting an A in everything at GCSE is not a pre-requisite for being great doctors, nor does it preclude that. And nor does it guarantee success at medicine.

You are looking too hard for facts which don't exist to back up your prejudice.

The simple fact is that nurses and doctors have to pass more than pure academic tests to qualify - thank God! But, they do have to pass those too.

Perhaps, next time you are unlucky enough to need a nurse or doctor you can refuse to be treated if he or she didn't get straight A's at GCSE.

Rescue of what precisely? If the UK sinks it won't be for the want of Mrs May trying that's a certainty. What it will highlight is the incompetence of those who simply play political games. Rather than do the job they have been elected to do.

The rescue of Mrs. May's career. She's played the biggest political game and lost.

They're all playing political games by the way. They're politicians - the clue's in the job title.

This remains bizarre.

May lost her outright majority and I think has had to eat a not undeserved mouthful of humble pie. But, she did not lose the election.

Corbyn lost the election.

All his cronies may love him openly and vocally and some that wanted him out may now sit on the fence while it suits - but he did not win!
