Because she wanted to focus on preparing for Brexit. No poo poo, that was her excuse.

Maybe don't call a loving election and dissolve parliament for like 2 months if you wanna do that Tezza, you plonker.

quote:

Several politicians told the Guardian that Fiona Hill and Nick Timothy, who act as the prime minister’s joint chiefs of staff in Downing Street, must take responsibility for the poor result, which saw the Tories lose their majority.

The pair were at the centre of recriminations flying back and forth between MPs on WhatsApp groups and even resulted in one cabinet minister branding the pair as “monsters who propped her up and sunk our party”.

Insiders said the Downing Street advisers were not to blame and instead pointed the finger at the Australian strategist Sir Lynton Crosby, claiming he told colleagues that manifestos were a “sideshow” and refused to take part in policymaking.

A source also told the Guardian that Crosby insisted on focusing the entire message on May’s personal character, the 11 days until the start of Brexit negotiations, and relentless negative attacks against Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

The source suggested the prime minister was uncomfortable with Crosby’s strategy, including the heavy focus on herself, and even dropped attack lines from speeches in the final days.

what does that even mean

a vote within the tory party on whether to force through an anti-abortion law to buy off the DUP?

a free vote in parliament on an anti-abortion law (which would obviously fail)?

The son of long-time party leader, its founder and former Northern Ireland First Minister Ian Paisley, Mr Paisley succeeded his father as North Antrim MP in 2010.

...

In a 2007 interview, Mr Paisley expressed his views on same sex marriages. He told Hot Press magazine he was "pretty repulsed" by gay people and lesbianism.

Mr Paisley later went on to defend his comments on BBC Newsnight saying he was "repulsed by many things".

It would be a vote in parliament. The tory party doesn't really do internal democracy. I assume it would be a free vote since it would be an extremely bad idea to try to whip something like that through. Of course, with May's judgement...

ok so my understanding of uk parliamentary procedure (gained in 5 minutes from wikipedia) at least some tory MPs would have vote for this turd to get it through the initial committee stages before every non-insane mp of every party stabs it to death on the floor of the commons

so basically this is just a way for DUP to ritually humiliate the tories like some kind of parliamentary hazing

i'm pretty sure even a one-line whip on an anti-abortion bill to please the DUP would end up with May getting Caesared

would Farron even be able to get enough MPs to go along with it given how much of a disaster it was for them last time?

The Lib Dems want a second referendum on the EU and are very anti-Brexit, so those are both no-go's in regard to cooperation. Other than that it would be political suicide, which they already committed with Clegg. Farron is a twat, but he's all too aware how reduced the Lib Dems are. Any further reduction would be the end of them.

quote:

My former colleagues on The Guardian hold an enviable record in the annals of political journalism. They have succeeded in getting the result of every major political event in the country wrong.

Even if you tried consistently to be wrong, fate would decree that occasionally you would get one result right. Their consistency in getting things so wrong, for so long, challenges the theory of random number generation. The infinite monkey theorem holds that a monkey hitting keys of keyboards at random ad infinitum would eventually type the works of Shakespeare. This is not true. The Guardian never gets a political result right.
