It's a fantastic picture of May. I'm not sure who thought it would help her image to have a ring of police forcibly keeping the public away from her.

I honestly wouldn't put money on her making it to the Queen's speech on Weds at this point.

Which, if it goes ahead, is going to be an interesting event, since the speech itself is prepared by May's government (such as it is). I wonder what they'll want her to say, and if there'll be any push-back from the palace.

So what do people think is the best strategy for Labour at this point?

Should they be trying to oust May on the basis that she's almost certainly got to go before another election can happen? Should they be trying to engineer an election as soon as possible? Or sitting back and watching the Tories destroy their popularity by mishandling crisis after crisis?

Yet again, reports of May getting back to her safe space and "crying" about the "situation".

Are we really, in this day and age, going to have to go back to the 15 year old internet response of "Pics or it didn't happen." Because I'm still waiting to see evidence of any sort that she's capable of emotion on any level.

If she feels that much regret she can step down anytime. Nobody is forcing her to murder the poor.

I honestly don't think they are. Besides, they don't even have a leader at the moment. I doubt they're going to complete coalition talks while working out who's even in charge of the party.

You know I thought this when Farron went back to his amphibian test tubes - he was by far the most vocal about not doing a deal with either Tories or Labour, when he went I thought "Hmm this kinda clears the way for them to do another coalition deal" but didn't bother voicing it because it seemed too outlandish even for these times.

The Mail's story about it seems to link Jo Swanson to the potential deal, so it's entirely possible it's a planted story to try and undermine her leadership bid.

But Jesus Christ if it's not.

If they do a deal it'll be with Labour. Even the lib dems aren't stupid enough to go into coalition with a party they have no common ground with when the progressive alliance was one of the main things helping them cling onto seats.
