I didnt warm to Dave immediately, and he has an air of insincerity about him very similar to Tony Blair. So while he may have had good intentions, I was never inclined to trust him. I think time has moved on, and some straight talking is what we need now, and like her or hate her, TM will provide that

I like him. He's so funny

I doubt the working poor, the unemployed, people working on zero hour contracts, the homeless, the disabled, the parents who will soon have to pay for their children to attend school, and those of us who know he's sold most of our NHS find him funny... but so long as he made you laugh eh!

Straight talking from Theresa May:

"The economy is ****ed! London is ****ed! The NHS is being systematically dismantled, that's not new, but now it's legit because we genuinely have no money. Police, fire, ambulance services... ****ed. Construction? Lol its ****ed in the arse. I'm stopping all social security also. Think you're OK because you've got a job? Tee hee not for long chump, that's ****ed too!... Good day "

[Shaun]

Watched it earlier - definite sentiments of "better the devil you know" and made me sort of miss the tumultuous coalition days because you at least had Clegg and Cable trying to steady the waters... just worry May is going to go full steam ahead over our civil liberties, now.

[smudgie]

I will miss him at PMQ's, he was always on the ball.
I only hope TM can carrying on the good work.

His time in government has been disastrous in terms of life chances for all except the 1% :/

From how quiet the Brexit stuff has been lately I had assumed the Brexiters had simply started to accept the situation? I don't know if you've been following the "proper" financial news but all indications are that we're heading for another recession as deep as the last one, and without any of the tools to combat it that were available last time.

I know politicians are still trying to spin it and put a brave face on it, even the ones who campaigned for remain, but if you sidestep all of that and just look at the actual data... the country is in a lot of trouble. A lot.

TS we have been heading into a mild recession for ages and its nowt to do with the brexit, which wont happen for 2 years anyroad. Growth forecasts are down, public sector borrowing is still out of control and sterling has been in a bear market for the last 2 years.

trying to blame all that on something that has not happened is a bit daft

Equally as daft as trying to pretend that the result itself, and even the pre-Brexit rumblings, haven't played a large part? There are shockwaves that we haven't even begun to feel yet, that were triggered on the day of the result. Even at the most basic level, consumer confidence is in the gutter, and that will have an absolutely massive knock-on effect that only compounds itself. Retail is suffering. Construction is also grinding to a shuddering halt. The country was not in a position to be able to absorb the "short term pain" in order to reap the "long term gain" - if there ever was to be any.

The actual day that we leave, two years down the line, is almost irrelevant... significant damage will already have taken hold.

Show me one broadsheet publication, or one unbiased academic economist worth their salt, managing to put even a vaguely positive spin on where the country is going? There aren't any. The only people managing to do so are still-hopeful Brexitters who are desperate to prove that they made the right decision, and politicians who will talk up a "better tomorrow" and "vision for the future" no mater what because - again - they know it's vital to maintain consumer confidence and they have to make people feel like it's safe to part with their money.

The truth? We're on a sinking ship and anyone with the means to get out currently, e.g. a dual citizenship or marketable skill, should probably do so. Right now.

All except the highly exaggerated 'Catastrophic aftermath' because it is not. That said, you are 1,000% correct.
