Re: Political leaders challenge
Never thought I would be hoping for may to be leader, but that other lady her background and the sort of policies she wants is scary.

Re: Political leaders challenge
She seems to have her own version of the Cybernats/Corbynites who are currently harassing journos on Twitter accusing them of making up the story and circulating a fake Tweet from The Times 'apologising' for the story.

The BBC played the tape this morning so it's a bit bloody hard to deny she said it and in the context of the whole interview it was leadsom that introduced motherhood or lack thereof into the interview not the journalist

They've been really running for the past couple of days.
Buying into the post-fact, post-reality narrative.
The depths they are plumbing with their denial are astounding. First she said nothing of the sort, then she did but it was a set up, finally even if she did say it it doesn't matter.

The main thing they're hanging onto it seems is the fact she said in the interview that she didn't want to make the comparison which therefore means she didn't. You can't negate something you say by saying you never want to say it. It's from the same school of thought as saying 'I don't want to be racist but...'. :roll eyes:
All of these bizarre minons that rally behind people like a cult: Corbyn, Leadsom, Trump. It's scary.

The interviewer brought up motherhood, in response to Leadsom doing the same in Brexit debates, but then Leadsom brought up the comparison with May and the idea that as a mother she is better placed to make decisions because 'she has a stake' in this country.

Re: Political leaders challenge
Theresa popped round earlier and we discussed the future together over a drink.

Re: Political leaders challenge
Politician in lie\exaggerate shocker none of them are trustworthy or can be relied upon what a great time it is for politics and the choices for the public. I honestly don't think I can remember a time when so many people were put off politics not by the subject matter but those elected to handle it. Whatever way the referendum vote had gone wouldn't have changed the massive problem that now exists between the public and the politicians.

No, she didn't - you're making stuff up...

Which is completely different from being teetotal...

It's not the glass of wine that's bothering me (been known to have a cheeky glass or two myself) - its that she seems to be wearing a necklace and not much else. I know you're having a few 'thoughts' about her but the picture gives an impression that is just wrong  .
Cheers
