Trump v May

I want to punch her in the face.

Ha ha, because Labour or any other party wouldn't have done the same would they?

Trump is allegedly making the wall between the USA and Mexico out of solar panels so that the heat generated will benefit Mexico's economy.

In other words,it's a bung.

No other words required mate.

That's a school per vote.

Lets hope they aren't as generous with the EU

So how many billions do you think they will agree to pay the EU?

£350 million per week?

Yesterday, the French press were revelling in Britain's demise as they anticipate further weakening the British economy as they did in the last main EU negotiations when they handed Thatcher her ass. Publicly of course their Government is talking a fair fight, but we all know that we are in big, big trouble especially as the French economy has overtaken the British economy since the Tories took power. Add to that this week's figures which showed Britain has by far the lowest growth of all G7 nations as the Government continue to drag us back.

Predictably, the U-turns continue with David Davies expressing his concern over May's inflexibility tying his hands in what he can negotiate with and what concessions he can make. 

Question is why is the key British negotiator, who has been told exactly what we want and exactly what (the Tories say) is on the table is seeking to broaden the scope of the negotiations?

Answer: It's bleedin' obvious.

Its unfortunate that at a time when we should be trying to pull together as a nation, we are still playing party politics. May is behaving like a rabbit in the headlights, without attempting, (or knowing how), to move out of the way, whilst Corbyn is still fighting with his own MP's, and actively encouraging his party to move even further to the left. If it all goes tits up, I think all the politicians involved need a bloody good kicking, both literally, and politically.

Couldn't agree more.

I agree with your summary but what worries me is where we are headed. Although I am pleased to see May exposed as hopelessly out of her depth everything I hear about the brexit negotiations just confirms my fears about how we us a country are going to be totally screwed.

At the moment both major parties are led by people who pretended to support remain but now May has opted for a hard brexit for reasons unknown and Corbyn never liked the EU anyway. It is going to get a lot worse.

Unbelievable.

If only it were unbelievable.

The Republican Senate has voted against Trump in his efforts to repeal Obamacare.
Three senior Republicans including John Cain rebelled to defeat Trump's Bill by 51 to 49 when Trump only needed a straight majority to win.

Despite having a considerable Republican majority, Trump is having even less success than Obama getting laws passed by the Senate. Says a lot when you aren't backed by your own party.
