Theresa May

She says she was a reluctant remainer. And the police seem to dislike her. That's all I know about her. More devious than she appears to be IMO.

Aren't ALL politicians?

She would be the safe choice at the moment though.

Given the alternative that isn't very difficult

Same as the Labour Party are facing then...... Who would be the right choice there, nobody seems to know.

She's better than the others, though she did do those vans with Go Home on them and isn't much interested in human rights.

She always reminds me of a Head Girl and I was never going to be one of those. But who else is there? Slime ball Gove or the bearded homophobe? And whatever was that tartan get up she was wearing yesterday? Anything is better than Mrs Thatcher's pussy cat bows, but I prefer the Angela Merkel "This is the uniform I wear for work" approach. I know clothes shouldn't matter, but they do give you clues about a person.

Theresa May was involved in the Steven Lawrence case and Hillsborough investigations which is why the police are anti her I understand.S he would have my vote if I was a conservative I think.

I think it was more due to her cutting police numbers. Would her diabetes be a concern, given the hectic lifestyle she would have to live as PM?

I like her!

I think you are right Tegan: she has upset the police, and as you said on another thread Gove is no friend of teachers.

It's difficult not to be influenced by personalities .Gove comes across as such a creep.

It would depend how well her type 1 diabetes is controlled. I understand she has recently lost quite a bit of weight.

She has overseen the loss of 19,000 police officers; that's why she's unpopular. I didn't want to raise the issue of her diabetes but, manageable as it can be it must be a concern if she is to take on such a stressful role.

Please can we give her credit for proposing and getting passed the Modern Slavery Act 2015 whch is accepted as setting the standard for the world trying to stop modern day slavery.

I am not of any political party but would feel more confident with her at this time of turmoil than any of the others.

Gove is also detested by prison offcers.

Does ANYBODY like him?

Mrs Gove?

Does ANYBODY like him?

Not according to this.

How was Msy involved in the Stephen Lawrence Case? And the Hilldborough investigation was opened by Andy Bernham and yhe Labour Party

She doesn't strike me as nearly as Head-Girl-ish as e.g. Harriet Harman.

I neither particularly liked nor disliked her before, but I think she'd be the best choice now.

Where's jings?

I know its not important but Angela Merkel wears beautiful necklaces. That is her weakness. Hubby is quite handsome and at the Wagner opera festival they look very smart - both of them.
He is a professor and refuses to be Mr Merkel and I wonder if Mr Mey will be able to do that.

Mr May ... wear necklaces? In the UK we don't usually go in for that.
