T May

Is Theresa May the weakest PM in history? or just the weakest Tory PM in history ???.

[cassa333]

Well considering she hasn't been at it long it is a bit previous and rather arrogant to say she is the worst. Or do some people not remember Gordon Brown or any of the other terrible PMs or even know about the history of our own Parliament?

"Why is this in news" posted by naomi 22,23 ?
ANSWER= Because I posted in news naomi, its as simple as that.

Atlee....the man responsible for the huge Labour landslide in 1945.

Not so useless after all perhaps !

gulliver1 at 07:57, ok, you thought it was News. That figures.

I thought it was a fair question from Naomi, I'm struggling to see any news in it tbh.

Attlee was a good un. Churchill was his bitter rival don't forget :-)
I prefer to read the great man's words another way ;-)

On Mrs May might Churchill have said:
'I'm glad I never lived to see Britain ruled by a PM in lederhosen'

[gulliver1]

Birds of a feather, Baldric ? eh.

[mikey4444]

TTT....why so nasty ?

anne: "Maybe just a wee thought that came into his/her head and wanted to share ? " - the loneliest thought in history!

"TTT....why so nasty ? " - because gulliver does not have a sincere bone in his body, all he ever does is spout sound bites of nastiness from the side with no debating points then skulks off when the inevitable boot reaches his plaster. That's how I have always dealt with fools. If you want a debate gulliver then start off with a sensible point backed up by some reasoning.

Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear. Pot and Kettle!!!.

[ToraToraTora]

that's it is it? PMSL!

Puts me in mind of 'Bouncer' with the quality of the posts ;o)

"About Sir Stafford Cripps, post-war Labour chancellor."

Funny you should mention Cripps, Jackdaw. He was once the subject of a humorous "Spoonerism" made by McDonald Hobley who, on the radio, referred to hims as "Sir Stifford Crapps". But more relevant from my point of view is that I was at school with his great nephew, Gordon, who taught me to play the drums.

No Prime Minister is perfect because they tend to come with Party dogma attached. So it is possible to find flaws in everyone of them, including Churchill and Thatcher.

The standard of Party leader on both sides has been poor for a generation. Hague, Howard, Duncan Smith, and Cameron were universally terrible. I actually think May is better than all of those, though it is too early to give a definitive verdict.

I am not exempting Labour from criticism either. Callaghan, Foot, Kinnock, Blair, Brown and Miliband were all bad. (The exception, John Smith is a case of the best Prime Minister we never had). Corbyn is a refreshing repositing of the Labour Party to its true meaning, unfortunately he couldn't run a tuck shop nevermind a national party.

Just a thought boys , if you see no point in this post one could ignore it, rather than being abusive.

Mrs May is a fence sitter. Hesitation is a wonderful thing, er, or is it?

[New Judge]

I'm yet to make up my mind!

[Jackdaw33]

My gut feeling is that she will deliver. She has too much to lose otherwise.
