May's strength is the weakness and ineptitude of the opposition both within and outside the Conservative Party.

I can. I remember the last Labour Government, who couldn't even hold on to a Home Secretary for more than 5 minutes due to crass incompetence.

They were, however, good at plundering our gold reserves and pensions, and spending every last penny in the bank. They were really quite exceptional in that respect.

Let's hope it's a blip and that talent hasn't decided against the world of politics.

There does seem to be a severe lack of genuinely passionate MPs in all parties.

Too many career politicians, rather than those who become MPs to make a difference.

Passions yes which is fine and dandy but add to that you had duplicity , chicanery . lies , deceit call it what you want but it was there in spades from both sides of the argument.

Perhaps you should watch the parliamentary debates on it, then! Plenty of time devoted to it on PMQs.

Some are passionate about the amount of money they will make once they slide gracefully in their prepared Company Directorships ...

May be time dedicated to it but not many MPs in attendance, if the Express's photo the other day was accurate! https://www.express.co.uk/ourpaper

Some interesting conclusions from the National Audit Office in their report released this morning about the government’s planning and spending framework and how to improve it.
