I've just said in another thread. I like Caroline Lucas. I liked her before, but she's gone up a lot more in my estimations  

always liked Caroline Lucas, I would go to greens if the Labour Party went Blairite again

So maybe that was wrong to put her in.....May should've been there, but we all know she doesn't debate

No bottle?

No compassion?

She's not a leader?

Have to say Amber Rudd did a better job than she could have - at least when she was parroting the stock phrases she amost sounded like she believed them

Amber Rudd is Hastings constituency and Hastings was rocked when she got in again...she hates the place and has stated publicly she hates Hastings... to this day the people of Hastings are baffled

Well I'd be baffled too, as to the people who are voting for her

well, we'll see this week 

Scroll to the bottom and carefully watch the last video, watch TM's face whilst listening to the sound.

It's a very Gordon Brown type face change.

Oh, that's hilarious!

Just had a look at their website, and it get's even funnier:

The shirt is one on one of those crowd-sourcing deals where they have to secure a minimum number of orders before any get printed. And guess what - they haven't had enough orders yet!

THANKS CORBYN

I see she's chickened out of Woman's Hour too now.   She's either hiding, ill (physically or mentally), trying to throw the gig or PR are keeping her out the way before she does any more damage.

She's just admitted she called an election because of Brexit

Is that a bad thing? It means that whoever wins has the backing of the majority to negotiate the Brexit that they want. 

I would have thought that if you voted Labour, Conservative or to save your local hospital, this was the best timing for the country?

She was just asked directly what she thought a bad deal would be.  She waffled for a minute and clarified zilch.

Cos she's hoping she'll win and along with Brexit she can impose more austerity on us

She needs to stop saying she's delivering the will of the people without addressing the fact that the people were lied to.  I'd have more respect if she said 'Sorry - the £350m to the NHS was a lie, but we are where we are now, so I'll do my best'   

Haha!   yes....where did that 20 billion go?

Errrrm, of course she's hoping she'll win

Same as all the others!

I'm glad she called the election now. How to implement the will of the people, Brexit, left the country running round like headless chickens. Now we all get a chance to vote for the party that we want to negotiate it for us.

I don't know why Diane Abbot's opinion on DNA databases have any bearing on it - but she seems to think that was an answer?

Well I wasn't left running around like a headless chicken and there were many more like me.   How many were though I wonder? 

And of course.....it's not just about Brexit is it though

Haha Kaffers ... I am sooo waiting for the Lib Dems to call round so that I can have a little rant about Clegg's lies on University Fees!

My husband reckons I'm on a list of 'looney people not to call on' based on the last time the Lib Dems called!

Oh, there were so many people down here calling for another vote, saying people didn't know what they voted for, refusing to accept the result. Maybe it was a southern thing?

I'd not say I was a headless chicken, but I was bloody furious that the margin was so small and within days people were saying they'd been conned and voted to get the £350m for the NHS.    

Arrrrrg, she's on about care costs ... my FIL pays £1,230 a Week.

I can't listen to her on this issue.

I'm off to Coronation Street

I still do want a second vote (because I don't think the first one was a true one), so no, it's not a southern thing.  It may have been democratic one but I'm not sure it was a valid one

May doesn't answer the question posed at all...pre rehearsed generalisations
