As well as being quite odd Leadsom is coming across as very nasty as well.

Denied saying it and Times then produced transcript.

Evidently she hasn't reacquainted herself with reality after the referendum campaign and thought she could carry on lying.

She is either incompetent or a nasty piece of work. I am going to run with door number two based on her recent actions and policy positions, although with a pinch of incompetence. Competent politicians don't say things that unpleasant in interviews.

Over to the Conservative Party members.

l cannot say l am surprised at all with these views and god help us if she ever becomes Prime Minister.

Radio 4 are playing the tape. She must have known she was recorded.

It is true though ,T May is sad at not having children ,she is unable to have children due to health reasons .It's still a horrible thing to use as ammunition by Leadsom.




This piece from 2012 is quite a good read to get some background on Theresa May

Attempt at damage limitation by a Leadsom supporter on Today ... failing badly at trying to convince us that she doesn't have really bad judgement .. apart from just having bad policies :)

The thing is we can all assume this will damage her, be outraged and so on but it probably won't harm her at all. Already she is spinning she didn't say it, as are her supporters, despite the existence of the recording of her saying it. She could literally hit in front of a TV screen screen showing her saying it, deny it with a straight face and the anger would be directed at the 'lame-stream media'.

Same as the £350 million to the NHS were the Leave campaigners can deny they ever said it despite it being on their bus! Politics is mad.

On their bus and on a poster behind Boris!

I know that politicians lie but the Brexit gang are perfecting the art :)

Nick Clegg, come back .. all is forgiven .. save us!

Perhaps some of the Cable Forum members could put themselves forward as surely they would do a better job then most of the lying , sleazy , obfuscating MP's that are currently prevalent in the Houses of Commons.

Of course that was fine, right?

That's democracy. Perhaps learn the process before levelling criticisms.

Re: Political leaders challenge
 

If anyone thinks any of our glorious leaders are whiter than white, purer than pure, think again. Some are clearly far better/worse than others but I'd wager they've all said, done and thought things which, if they'd been recorded and subsequently made public, could easily damage or even destroy their reputations if not their careers. Often these things are made public at times such as these when there's an opportunity to damage one clique or the other. Sometimes the dirt is held in reserve for a rainy day and sometimes the media can 'engineer' situations in which politicians are deliberately lured into saying/saying things which they'll later regret. Is is better to have a consummate liar like Blair at the helm or someone who, perhaps, isn't quite as 'clever' or devious? :shrug:
