Skinty McEdger posted:You know how bad it went when you already have people leaking that it was May's idea to do the appearance. Both the Daily Mail and the Mirror have used the word 'inhuman' in their headline to describe her interview. Certainly a bad day when the one thing that unites those papers is a dislike of you.

How will this affect her chances of minority government. I know the DUP coalition is dead due to Sinn Fein and the GFA. I'm unsure of the exact mechanism of minority government but I assume it requires some permission from the opposition to govern rather than return to elections. But will labour really let May rule after all this giving how unpopular she's become.

They have to get the Queen's speech passed which will require votes mps from parties other than the conservatives to do so (at the moment most likely the DUP). If they don't then, what ever shenanigans the Fixed Term act introduced, Labour gets a shot at getting a Queens speech passed. If that doesn't happen it's election time all over again.

May was already so far out of her depth. It's just unfathomable at this point. I have never witnessed such a rapid and deserved fall from grace in politics.
|
Personally, and this is solely a personal opinion here, I hope that the Tories get in, get less and less popular, don't quite screw us entirely on Brexit and then Labour comes in at the end to start the rebuilding. I am saying this because I think Brexit is, fundamentally, a poisoned cup to whichever party drinks from it.

Pretty much. It's so divisive that there's no deal that won't make a majority of the electorate unhappy to some extent. It's shame to use all your political capital on it when the Tories are more or less forced to go for a soft Brexit anyway.

If I could be deeply cynical for a moment, wouldn't the best outcome in the long run be for the Tories to limp through Brexit, get rightly annihilated, and then Corbyn unleashes 1000 years of socialist darkness? Or does not being part of the currency union give the UK the best parts of the EU without the possibility of being squeezed for blood money a la Greece? Also Corbyn is a euroskeptic so this is academic.

JFairfax posted:the big picture is actually a vid of the interview I cannot emphasize strongly enough how righteously pissed off Emily Maitlis is in this interview. She is livid and it's clearly taking all her willpower to stop from just going ballistic. Which is what we might like to see but keeping it together was the better play, because now we've got headlines from the Heil about what a fuckup May is. I'm taking some solace from the horror of Grenfell by just spending a minute imagining how absolutely loving raging the men in smoky rooms drinking brandy must be at May and their general situation. It's a tremendously effective balm and I recommend it to anyone.

 I'm not going to include his picture from the article because it's too much and this is bad enough, but I believe this is what the political classes refer to as "bad optics". She's dead in the water and I hope she takes the rest down with her.

I've never seen the rage this focussed before, nor ever seen the tories so powerless.

I would imagine they have a good chance of sinking anyone siding with them. The counter to this is that the Tories are now in a situation where they literally cannot face an election right now, so any one who is negotiating with them probably has their pick of whatever conditions and policy they want on the table.

And this is the DUP we're talking about, they are not liable to be the most circumspect of operators. If a deal does get made it's probably going to be so toxic that we get PM Jezza for 10000 years rather than a mere thousand. And that's assuming it doesn't derail the peace process. If it does, we might get to Spencer Percival territory. Comedy option: Arlene comes out and announces they cannot in good conscience make an agreement with such a dysfunctional and out of touch party as the Tories.
