60p for visits to the toilet !
Dear Gransnetters
I am making a sincere request for any ideas and policies you think might help me and my government cling on to power keep the country on a strong and stable path. We are willing to consider anything. Sajid has already launched a housing idea, Michael is busy searching through Jeremy's bins for cast offs and Boris has promised to keep his nose out of things is focussing on foreign policy. But I am sure some of you have really good ideas. Don't worry about u-turns I am willing to swivel 360% and more if it will keep me in power is in the country's interests. So please send them to me. Desperately Seeking Solutions Theresa @No.10

I hope Theresa has time to drop in and read that for light relief, dj.
Didn't know where this would fit. Here as much as anywhere, Theresa.

I mean wolves in sheep's clothing!!!
I see Michael seems now to be a reborn environmentalist and planning for a Green Brexit.
Beware of sheep in wolves clothing Theresa.
Well what a week! 11 rebels in the party! On the bright side Michael, Boris and everyone else are keeping very quiet- suddenly it seems they don't want to be PM. They are hatching a nice little plot about worker's rights and holidays (oops shh!). But I did have a lovely meal and talked to lots of rich people who want to keep us in power. Of course their riches do trickle down to the poorest, just not very much of them.
Ooh, I'm not but you think there could be an opportunity for me there, dj?
Are you Theresa's spad, FarNorth?
She needs one - she appears to have sacked all the ones she had.
Theresa, who have you asked to write a paper on it?
Hope it's not David Gauke.
He says that his department needs to learn more about the system he is using.
Self esteem is more important than money to buy food with, apparently.
He doesn't appear to like experts telling him otherwise.
From that link:
"Earlier this week bankers received yet another taxpayer handout amounting to nearly £5 billion, while the Tories crushed Labour’s proposal to properly fund children’s services at a time when at least 4 million kids are living in poverty."
I expect you know what you're doing with this, Theresa, and those children are really not necessary for the UK's success so you don't need to worry about how they're getting on.
You want the UK to be a rich country, of course, so focusing on rich people makes sense, doesn't it.
Nice one, Theresa. Can you explain the thinking behind this?

Can you give us a list of these secret donors?
Please, Theresa, can we have a New Year's Resolution from you, to not tell fibs at PMQs.

You know you do, so don't pretend otherwise.
Why does your spad get paid £140,000 a year when he makes so many mistakes?
And there I have been reading the Guardian, the i, the Mail and the Sun with my grandson, comparing articles to show what the different styles are.
Have we been wasting our time?
Actually, today it was online about school closures yesterday, and guess which ones were positive and which negative. His own words, too.
I won't tell him what you said, FarNorth.He gets upset very easily.
Mind, he understood the political cracker jokes on Daily Politics today.
Maybe I read too many newspapers with him? No more Sun or Mail.
Oh, dj, you wet blanket. No-one with any sense reads the Guardian anyway.
Don't worry, Theresa, you're doing very well.
Not true about the internet porn, though.

Still ongoing.
Mmm JessM if that is true how long do you think it will take to get back to the Golden Years? (When I will be the New Iron Lady and not Trembling Theresa)
dj I have discussed this with Jeremy and he assures me that the NHS is entirely safe in his hands. He and hubbie have been having very long chats about it.
Have you noticed how successful my agreement has been? Accusations of internet porn, lying to Parliament, no impact reports, it has all slipped into the background (Thank you God!)
Theresa why is it I'm getting the feeling that this country has been going backwards for the last 6 years or so? Struggling to think of much that has got better...
Theresa, can you please tell Hunt to stop privatising the NHS?
I've asked you if you'll do thiss a few times. I don't think you are taking any notice of me, are you?

JessM If only I could find a more competent and supportive replacement. David would be out before you could say Christmas. But didn't you notice the replacement for Priti was Penny Mordaunt- scraping the barrel or what?!
durhamjen There are quite a few people I would like to see skewered and the list is geting longer everyday.
Talking about the NHS problem, it would be good if you could tell Hunt he needs to have that debate with Ralph Little.
It would be so entertaining over Christmas. It might take our minds off the problems of the NHS, to see Hunt skewered.
Theresa my dear, that David chap is really becoming part of the problem instead of part of the solution. Once you've shaken hands with someone you don't need one of your team running round saying that you might not have really meant it (or maybe implying that a future leader might renege on what has been agreed?). This is not at all good for the next stage of the Brexit negotiations. I know he'd be a pain in the derriere on the back benches but surely he's not doing more harm by staying in post? I know he has a certain debonaire charm but it's no longer enough. Time to find a more competent and supportive replacement.
I had a great idea to solve the NHS problem last night. I caught a glimpse of the film - The Marigold Hotel one, and I thought Eureka! That's it! Ship all the pensioners off to India. Drugs bill cut, operation theatres emptied, GP surgeries empty. Then hubbie pointed out that the pensioners are my main support base, so I've shelved it for now. But if Michael G stages a coup I shall introduce it before I step down. And then let's see if he can win an election!!!!
Well done Theresa. You seem to have (deliberately or accidentally) managed to outmanoeuvre the more rabid hard Brexiteers with the help of your "friend" Arlene.
A soft Brexit sounds so much more comfortable.
Just keep looking over your shoulder, especially at that ambitious Michael (backstabber) Gove.
Well I did it!!!! A signed agreement 15 pages long! Of course some things are still undecided flexible and there is a long way to go, but we are now entering Stage 2 of the negotiations and I am still PM!!! Well done ME! Philip, Michael and BoJo are seething they thought I was done for. They should know that if there is one thing you learn as a vicar's daughter it is patience. Those sermons go on for ever. (Any rumours that there are some in certain committees who think I have sold out and are plotting to displace me are entirely unfounded. Or I hope they are)
