Gemmill 35492 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 7 minutes ago, Dr Gloom said: distancing himself from her, and having her sack him and being out of government when the whole thing falls apart, is exactly his game plan, paving the way for him to swoop in, once we're out of europe and the country on its knees, to save the say. the way he has put his own personal ambition ahead of the national interest is an absolute disgrace and he'll rightly go down in the history books, along with cameron, as one of the worst and most self serving politicians of all time. Add May to the list if she's keeping him in that job for her own personal concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4967 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 They're being shored up by the Leave vote still IMO... The leavers presumably know that Brexit comes tumbling down if the Tories collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a canny bit of personal ambition too, i.e. desperately clinging onto what she's wanted all her political career and it's not like she's going to make a comeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20149 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 it's a funny one: every day she remains in power she's reminded of how she's fucked it all up, but i guess the alternative is slipping into obscurity. i imagine her self esteem has quite rightly taken a battering. if she had anything about her, she'd have resigned long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12896 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 It must be wholly, existentially depressing to spend a lifetime working toward a dream, achieving it and then having the circumstances surrounding that success be so calamitous that it probably doesn't feel like an achievement. Absolutely no part of her day can't be utterly soul crushing on a massive, overwhelming scale. Not that I'm arsed, the sour faced, evil bitch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4967 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Basically confirms that May doesn't have the authority she should have though.
