Whoever dresses her needs sacking. Stroll on the women has the height to carry off some very nice outfits. What the hell was the poor old girl wearing on the national news tonight? Patchwork quilt no less!
I hope she stays in control of the party and goes on to be a well established pm for years to come.

I don't really care for her but FFS can the conservatives stop the infighting or can people start voteing for someone else so we have some parties that can do some god dam running of the country. I'm feeling like it is: OMG what the do we do?? No idea mate? Panic? Oly Noly? Na lets have a leadership tis to distract the public Yeah its working really well. I'm struggling to like anyone much atm and I'm a party downer...

Some people tend to forget how politics can be a lethal place, full of career hungry MPs doing what they see necessary to further their lucrative job. This has more or less been the case for many,many years, the only difference these days are the weapons of choice such as social media sites & how news either fake or otherwise gets out to so many people. For me personally the recent Teresa May news was a non story. It looked a tad theatrical, but no big deal, we all get coughs from time to time....
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

I am a Labour party member and Jeremy Corbyn will do just fine. It was on this day that Annie Mac said!

I think Corbyn is a full-on recession waiting to happen.
Agree Think its time for May to step aside and bring in Boris.

After witnessing first hand the near destruction of the Police Service I wish that Darth Mayder would foxtrot Oscar back to 'a long time ago and in a galaxy far far away'

After witnessing first hand the near destruction of the Police Service I wish that Darth Mayder would foxtrot Oscar back to 'a long time ago and in a galaxy far far away' and what fate would you wish on the government if they reversed decades of income tax reductions in order to pay for all the public services that have suffered while we try to live within our means? Diane Abbott may be seen as a laughing stock, but she has achieved an astonishing amount in British politics, in the face of pretty overwhelming obstacles.
I admire her very much. Jim - I took some time to read up on Diane Abbott. She's clearly devoted to her causes, but it would appear she can be a bit of a loose cannon - I'm pretty sure some of her comments have been taken out of context ("blonde, blue-eyed Finnish nurses wouldn't know how to take a black person's temperature...") but she clearly doesn't possess an adequate degree of verbal self-restraint. The less charitable might suggest she's a racist and a hypocrite (she won't call herself British because "most people don't accept us as British" and her son attended a private school after she publicly criticised her parliamentary colleagues as ""indefensible" and "intellectually incoherent" for doing the same) I'm sure she makes a good civil servant, but I don't think she's front-bench material

she's a racist and a hypocrite And was Jeremy Corbyn's girlfriend in the 70's. I'm not sure which of the 3 is worst. She's a perfect example of today's PC hypocrisy where certain groups of people are treated differently in the name of equality and everyone must think the same in the name of diversity. It seems Orwell's "Ministry of Truth" is alive and well.

My personal opinion is that I would pay more in tax to fund public services although appreciate not everyone would agree with that one! In such a scenario however I would expect better management and leadership in return to stop some of the waste that goes on.

It makes perfect sense for a family unit to spend less than it earns. Nigel, this is so bogus. That Thatcherite quote of equating the country's economy with a family budget doesn't stand up to the slightest of scrutiny. If my gas bill is too high do you think I can devalue the currency, or raise the interest rate of my savings, or bring forward earnings that I haven't yet earned or any number of other levers I would have at my disposal if I were in charge of the country. Facts seem to be, austerity was just a vehicle for making more millionaires (of which there are more) off the backs of those that have the least (and now they do indeed have less). As was said recently, and I forget by whom, selling capitalism to a generation without capital doesn't seem to be the smartest move.

None of those levers are either without consequence nor are can you use them an infinite number of times. Changing interest rates, for instance, affects the value of the currency, the balance of payments, the pace of growth of the economy etc etc some of which are positive and some of which are negative. In some ways it’s analogous to some levers you do have that the government doesn’t - like moving to a different part of the country where house prices are cheaper but wages are lower and house price inflation is almost non-existent. You can play tunes like using a credit card, fitting solar panels, shopping at Aldi rather than M&S, investing in shares, sell off the family silver - but the broad rule that at some point you have to find the money for it all remains the same.

It makes perfect sense for a family unit to spend less than it earns. I don't believe that this is at all bogus. I was brought up in a family where (apart from a mortgage) we spent only what money we had, we never ran up credit card bills or payday loans, and that's rubbed off on me, I only spend what money I have saved up, I don't buy the latest cars on PCH or PCP, I don't have a blinging iPhone or edgePhone, I buy the cheapest fuel, watch Freesat/Freeview and we shop at Aldi, I've never smoked and I haven't moved house for 25 years. But I see plenty of people who live beyond their means, complain about austerity yet still have their fancy new clothes and blinging phones, smoke and drink and watch BT/SkySports a lot...

Borrowing is never a long term solution, as we simply end up spending more on loan repayments and less on the stuff that we should be spending on. End the Federal Reserve!
F****** b****** thing...

the important thing is he is unlike any other politician. I have never known him to lie. I doubt that very much Annie. He is just like every other politician and once he gets into power he will probably backtrack on nearly all his promises like they all do! I think May should be given a fair go at it as she inherited a right sh*t storm when she became PM.
