Theresa May

I know I've already posted this on another thread, but the rise in NICs was a fair and progressive move. The Treasury receives almost three times as much from employees/employers as it does from the self-employed.

nina Holiday and sick pay are paid by the employer - nothing to do with NICs. As a self-employed person, you could pay Class 2 and Class 4 contributions, so you would be building up entitlement to state pension.

It's the abolition of Class 2 contributions, which only the lowest paid self-employed pay, which will do damage, but Conservatives aren't bothered by them.

This is a disgraceful U-turn by a PM and Chancellor who have caved into pressure from back benchers for party political reasons.

Ginny, She is a very clever woman, seems she knew the result of the referendum in advanced and that Cameron would resign ?

petra. Of course it has, but just because she is a vicars daughter, or went to a certain school, or who is married to whoever etc, is not really going to answer things about her character.
Search engines other than google. No I dont but I have been told. and looked once, that they are pretty useless.

Ana. 17.16pm You are entitled to your opinion.

Re: ww's post about TM's relationship with the press and ergo the Government's.

Interesting news that it's been announced that Karen Bradley, the Culture Secretary, is to investigate Rupert Murdoch’s plans to take full control of Sky.

This means that instead of getting through on the nod so to speak, Murdoch’s plan faces a new obstacle. Ofcom, the media watchdog, now has to look into Murdoch’s dodgy media empire.

I could just be out of the loop
I'm not sure that I'm in the loop either, nor even members of the Cabinet

(and no Ankers, it was not a joke! )

Ankers Has it ever crossed your mind to find information other than on GN. And try another search engine other than google.

Talking about her is fine. Starting a thread inviting people to say what they think about her character is stirring IMO.

Oh Ana, you are now going to say it was a joke.

I will come back to this thread when it has calmed down a bit.

Talking about Theresa May is stirring? My gosh.
[note to self. Do not get drawn in].

Yes I'm sure she does. POGS isn't quite so wise to your stirry ways, Ankers!

POGS cares Ana.

Who cares? Just get on with your interrogation, Ankers...

Had a quick look. Cant see me there either. Do you want to point out where?

Theresa May 1 and 2. Not of my time.

I will check Theresa May 3.

Actually me not being on Theresa May 4 is not relevant in that case.

Theresa May 4 thread was started after this one. I cant see myself on it.
I will check the others.

Ankers wants an in-depth ass discussion of Theresa May's character so that she can 'understand', POGS...

Ankers

" I cant find a thread about her. Perhaps I have missed it?"

You haven't missed 'it' you have missed 'them'.

Actually I am not sure you have missed them as I believe you 'may have ' engaged in odd threads on Theresa May.

Put Theresa May into Search and you will find plenty of threads such as Theresa May 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 etc. etc. etc.

Rumours...

Nicola Sturgeon can't do anything without TM's consent. I voted to stay in the EU, I buy my raw materials from Europe. But I respect the voters who chose to leave and so I think we've just got to now get on with it. I don't think it's going to be a disaster. That's catastrophic thinking.

The rumours are that she is very difficult in cabinet and not easy to have a discussion with. She is also paying far too much attention to the press, although we know she visited the media moguls just after she became PM, so I guess she is toeing the line. Good ain't it?!

They be shown themselves to be incompetent in the budget c*ckup, doesn't bode well for the future. Though there's no
Opposition apart from Nicola Sturgeon, so they aren't worried, they'll just follow the Daily hateMail. All these people saying we should rally round as if it's wartime are out of touch with the reality of politics.

Ginny42, David Cameron wasn't expecting to lose the referendum or step down as PM so I think TM probably did land the job as a surprise.

I dont believe she is unelected Ginny42. Thems the rules. I shouldnt think she is the only Prime Minister who got to number 10 without winning an election.

Beam. Fair enough to you too.
