Conservative Conference

wish there was a LIKE button GillT57

Yep, gold post of the day from me too Gill.

When I look at May’s fellow senior Tories, I am always reminded of Major referring to his senior colleagues as “bastards”.

I think she must understand how he felt.

And what do you expect JC to do when he gets elected?

lemongrove- who would you like to take over? Can you imagine any of her backstabbers and buffoons at the helm?

Shafted you said?!

what are you talking about jura ??
I don’t want anybody to take over.

In the meantime, don't worry- we will become a Tax Haven for the very rich ...

ooops unless the predicted world financial crash happens as is predicted- as Banks have not reformed and the level of debt is totally unsustainable.

May looked really happy today for the first time ever.
I agree Gill and think she more or less said that to the Conference in her speech, she was warning that faction, that if they keep going against her they would wind up with no deal or no Brexit.
Corbyn has said that Labour would vote down any deal ( no matter what it is) just for political gain ( oh yes, the six ‘tests’
Which are impossible and would be just as impossible for Corbyn and Co to get!)

Corbyn wants two things, key to no 10 and out of the EU

My prediction : hard brexit. Country in turmoil. General election. Labour in coalition with SNP to gain power. NI thrown to the dogs. Union in doubt. Second Scottish independence referendum allowed as part of terms of coalition. Voters vote to remain in UK as not happy after 10+ years of SNP.
Disarray and disaster all round.
Time for another party? Well why not-none of the others are working!!

You don't want anyone to take over right now- but then ... when she decides to go or is pushed?

And are you really behind her all the way with Checkers- for sure?

Agreed with you Jane- apart from Scottish voters to stay in this time. I'd hate to see the Union go- but it would be touch and ... go.

You may be right Jane, Corbyn wants shot of N.I. Scotland wants shot of U.K, Corbyn will not win Scotland for Labour so will need the SNP . Happy days

Yes, I am behind May all the way with the Chequers proposal. Corbyn has viewed to vote it down, but if ‘rogue’
Conservatives agree to support it, and some Labour MP’s do too, then it might be ok.
The EU are bound to want some changes though, so will they be acceptable changes, will have to wait and see.

Have to wait and see also as to who puts themselves forwards to take over when the time comes.

Jane you could well be right!

Scotland does not want shot of the UK!! United we stand, divided we... Well you know what comes next!!

Yes, I am behind May all the way with the Chequers proposal.^

But, unfortunately lemon, the EU isn't. They've been telling her ever since she first came up with it. Though, perhaps if they were to find out that you are in support of it they might change their minds...

The phrase 'flogging a dead horse' comes to mind....

Can't stand her politics, but I kind of feel rather sorry for her. Give her her due, she was handed a poisoned chalice (or accepted it) and she is still running with it.

Yup. She's not a quitter. Goodness knows how she can stand it all. I respect her but not her 'colleagues'.

Not sure she was handed it, so much as grabbed it with both hands...

What a brilliant recovery!
I am reminded of the lyrics of “Whistle a happy tune” (google it if you must)
A brave and uplifting performance to show Bojo ???

I agree with your last post Jane10

Jane10 I admire her staying power, it cannot be easy round the cabinet table.

Spot on Maw

And the same crowd that cheered Boris the Buffoon to the rafters yesterday were applauding talking up May today. What a two faced backstabbing mess the Tory party has become.

Johnson and May are poles apart on Brexit and other policies, so, how can anyone support both.

still an SNP majority here Jane10 ,they have more seats than the rest put together and the only issue I hear about them is the fact Ms Sturgen wont commit to a date for Indy 2.Poll in the Evening times is 84% for Independence and its Unionist paper .
