Pretty rare, but not unheard of.

Yes and Nick and his breakfast show on LBC is probably the best alongside Radio 4 from the BBC

Nick is also Conservative

[Maru]

Wow, she's for Stop & Search?

I'm not a May fan, but I have to stand back and admire her resilience and her passion. Whatever she does, she isn't going to please half the population and all the people moaning about what she has negotiated have offered nothing that would move us forward positively and be acceptable to the EU.

I still think when it comes to it being voted on in parliament that May will win. The majority understand that it may not be an ideal situation for them, but at least it's a better starting point than no deal at all. People are acting like this is going to be the situation for eternity and beyond and its just so silly

Yeah, I feel like it will work out one way or another. Life goes on.

I feel like May is a very strong woman. People may not agree her on everything politically, but she has a way of getting her POV across without coming off overly defensive/weak. If that makes any sense?... she genuinely seems very passionate about her POV and that makes so much sense here, given everything that is actually at stake.

lets not forget that whoever votes against the government and forces us into a no deal situation will have to take responsibility for that choice come the next election. If businesses are affected, if jobs are lost etc etc. It won't be those that are supporting the government trying to agree a deal that will suffer the consequences.

So true

[joeysteele]

She has never been up to the position of PM.
Her judgement is atrocious.
From calling the election last year after denial after denial she ever would.

Then her judgement of ministerial appointments.
The loss of both her choices as brexit minister resigning.
That is really damning and unbelievable.

She has both Country and Parliament more divided than when she became PM.
This deal gives a little to both sides but really addresses nothing with substance.

I don't see tenacity or strength in her, watching or listening to her.
All that comes over to me is her delusion.

Having said that, I have never ever liked Mrs May as a politician, she was the absolute worst Home secretary in my view.
She is a total disaster as PM.
So for me the sooner she goes or is thrown out, the better.

[Kazanne]

I think she is a lot stronger than most people thought,fair play to her for sticking to her guns, she obviously thinks she has the best deal for us, so good on her for not caving in to the pressure she is under from her ministers, they are such a back stabbing lot, Why would she put herself through all this if the deal is not the best she can get.

You and I stand on poles apart opposite political sides.
However what you say I always look at.

I will concede she was given the hardest job to do.
Re brexit.
However she could have brought all parties and UK Nations into the planning to heal divisions but chose not to.

Sometimes sticking to your guns is a bad thing.
She has gone as far as her stance can take this and she has not won over her own party with her deal.
It won't pass the parliamentary vote as it is and she wouldn't be then sticking to her guns, if she went for changes now.

To push ahead with this agreement when she knows a quarter at least of her own government will abstain or vote against it, is pure folly in my view.

To step out now, saying she'd done her best and let a new PM make a new attempt.
Would be far wiser than putting this to a vote, losing it and then not being able to do anything further.

Prolonging the killing off of this agreement via a parliamentary vote with all the warnings that will happen.
That's really bad judgement by any standards.

She got the job at the wrong time, unfortunately for her.
Then again as I say, I've never liked her as a politician even in my.more Conservative leaning years.

hey Joey,I just think she has a real hard job,I don't think at this point anybody could appease the British people, I would hate to be her right now,you know much more about politics than I do ,all I am going on is the news and TV ,I just think she has a few tossers around her at the moment,they should be standing strong and not going against her all the time,as I thnk she has probably done the best deal that anyone can.

You know as much as any of us Kaz, we are all reliant on the TV and the media for our political news

No way, Kazanne you know far more about politics than you may think.

Actually I think across the board, the UK has likely never been so ill served by its elected politicians.

It's always good sharing your and my differing perspectives on politics.
Never think you know less re politics.
Politics is life, it affects all our lives, it's just sad once elected many MPs sidestep that fact and choose to forget same.

I have to admire her stance, she was alone yesterday in a nest of vipers, it would have been very easy for her to throw in the towel at this stage and resign like Cameron did, she won't please everyone, and whoever takes the job if she is forced out won't please everyone either so replacing her and thinking it is going to be better is just pie in the sky nonsense

GOVE NOT resigning
