MOST POPULAR PRIME MINISTER SINCE THATCHER. How is she still going? When will the inertia stop? On one hand she's awful and bad and any vaguely serious contender would absolutely thrash her in a leadership bid. On the other leading the Tory party during a decline like this, about to go knackers-first into Brexit, is one hell of a poisoned chalice.

goddamnedtwisto posted:https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jun/15/experts-warned-government-against-cladding-material-used-on-grenfell I seem to recall an early report from someone in the Fire Service saying they were slightly delayed going into the tower block because of a gas leak and they had to wait for the mains to be turned off. It was probably on the Guardian live blog during the first few hours and I'm on my iPad so limited search functionality to dig it up.

I feel like the Tories would be mad to get rid of her at this point. If they keep her around she's like a political bad bank that they can dump all the toxic poo poo of the next few years onto.

"Uh, heh, well, maybe the Queen should spend a little less time thinking about her public appearances, and a little more time thinking about Brexit negotiations, because that's what I've been doing." *attempts mic drop, but the cable wraps around my ankle and I, Theresa May, trip over it*

PST posted:Only going to see the injured in hospital, which means stage-managed and limited interactions with people who are too ill to yell in her face. You can almost see the preceding The Thick of It scene. The minister and Ollie are arguing about whether it would be a good idea to meet actual residents after Malcolm Tucker told them to only speak to firemen the first time. Ollie says it would send a good message about how much the minister cares about his constituents and that he should really do it soon since the opposition and even Brenda already got around to it. Just as the minister is about to agree, Malcolm Tucker bursts in to tell the Minister to not loving do it because he is an out of touch idiot who will lose an argument against illiterate council tenants on live TV. Terry pops in with a stack of forms and asks why they couldn't just send the minister to visit the hospital since the injured probably wouldn't manage to argue. The minister thinks that actually this is a very good idea, which will show that he does indeed care about those who suffered worst, and grabs Ollie to come with him. Malcolm Tucker follows them and keeps pointing out the minister is so utterly out of touch with the general population he would still lose an argument against a literal vegetable, and degenerates into incoherent swearing as the minister tries to ignore him.

Tesseraction posted:https://twitter.com/Jack_Blanchard_/status/875660444811362304 She's already at 29% approval. I'm not sure how much further down it can go. One thing worth remembering about May is that one of the chief reasons for her early approval ratings was because she was considered a safe, competent pair of hands after the flighty, unprofessional Cameron. She had this reputation largely because of her long stint as Home Secretary, which she had emerged from looking like a steady, quietly capable leader. Think about that for a second. Yvette Cooper, her opponent for most of her tenure, was unable to make Theresa 'literally ran corporate rape camps on U.K. soil' May look bad. There's no greater argument for keeping her branch of the Labour Party out of power.

London fire: A tale of two tower blocks posted:London is increasingly becoming a city of high-rise living. There are more than 700 tower blocks, ranging from brand new luxury developments to the post-war council-owned buildings seen as a quick-fix to cure problems caused by crumbling and unsanitary 19th Century hovels. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-40290158

Jose posted:you mean like the last time they were in power? End years of Major were mostly incompetence and sexual impropriety, this time round it seems like all their chickens are coming home to roost at once and people are seeing them for what they really are. Also I'm willing to bet any Tory vaguely likely to be near the leadership election will have a quote something like Boris' "Get stuffed" or Rees-Mogg's "Indian safety regulations are good enough for Britain" lurking in their backgrounds so even if they hadn't already decided to do so they'll be winding their necks the gently caress in for a good couple of weeks. Ironically this could have ended up saving May's leadership at least until conference season.

I don't think her job should exist but she seems to do it well. I doubt she's in much danger of taking a brick to the head from a group of grieving victims. May on the other hand is probably right to be worried about her safety in any crowd not made up entirely of Tories.

bitmap posted:to be fair very few people outside this forum really seem to give a gently caress I was talking to a die hard Tory old man yesterday and the fire has flipped the switch to Labour. He's not alone amongst his friends in real life and Facebook/various newspaper comments sections. He says anyone who has ever had to work in a high rise, live in one, or be involved in anything to do with health and saftey including mandatory courses and whatnot, are absolutely fuming and putting the blame right on the Tory party. It's an evil even the pensioners can see. The mental gymnastics are amazing to behold. Aparrantly it's the other Torys down in central London/government who are to blame as none of them can see past the city and looking after their own. Here's the key, ourTory MP is alright but he's a backbencher so what can he do? They are going to vote Labour next election simply to keep May and her friends out.

Honestly May's team is right to keep her away from the public on security grounds. Not morally right, every tory needs to be thrown to the loving wolves at this point, but it's basically a necessary decision if they want to keep her from getting verbally eviscerated or physically slapped.
