In the context of May's record in general elections it was a decent effort, I suppose.

A US trade deal at this point will enrich a few US billionaires and destroy some British industry that Trump saw on tv the night before, it won't even get agreed by the Tories.

I think somebody earlier in the thread said May was resilient as a leader or something?

She's not, it's just that nobody else has wanted to take the lovely stick up to now.

If it could somehow destroy the NHS then it would definitely get agreed by the Tories.

No they won. Trump said they won. Why wouldn't you call him to congratulate them on winning after he said that they won?

Labour’s Mike Kane asks about Asia Bibi, and asks if May agrees the UK should be a beacon for human rights.

May says the government’s main concern is for the safety of Bibi. A number of countries are in discussion about providing a safe haven for her. It would not be right to say more at this state, she says.

As a seasoned translator of Toryese this means "we'd take her but she's brown"

Wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma


Israeli defense minister: War is peace, I will never surrender. *Quits government*

quote:

The Israeli defence minister, Avigdor Lieberman, has announced he is resigning from the conservative coalition government of the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in protest at a Gaza truce.

Announcing his decision, which takes effect 48 hours after he puts it in writing, Lieberman called Tuesday’s Egyptian-mediated deal with the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas “a capitulation to terror”.


“What happened yesterday – the truce combined with the process with Hamas – is capitulating to terror. It has no other meaning,” Lieberman told journalists.

“What we’re doing now as a state is buying short-term quiet, with the price being severe long-term damage to national security.”

He added later: “We should agree on a date for elections as early as possible.”

Lieberman also said his party was leaving Netanyahu’s coalition, which leaves the premier with only a one-seat majority in parliament.

Elections are not due until November 2019, but Lieberman’s resignation increases the likelihood of an earlier vote.

Lieberman, a security hardliner, heads the rightwing Yisrael Beitenu party, which holds five seats in the 120-seat Knesset, or parliament.

Netanyahu has defended Tuesday’s ceasefire deal, which ended the most serious escalation between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza since a 2014 war.
