    I didn't think any PM is elected (by the voters that is)!

    You know what I mean. She'd probably beat Corbyn comfortably. I don't think she'd have beaten Milliband.

    Probably not but I'd take my chances on him over this shower.

    It seems pretty obvious that the future of EU citizens can be agreed unconditionally when Germany and France accept the UK's offer. Then the broad principals of Leaving must be agreed but not finalised until trade talks going forward are agreed, and the whole lot signed off as one complete agreement.

    You haven't forgotten that the man he proposed to be Chancellor of the Exchequer now dances for a living?

    Bright guy though. PPE at Oxford then Harvard. Lots of relevant experience. A bit odd but probably would have done a decent job.

    Yes, academically bright. Dancing made him much more popular though. So now Ed's made a video song version of "Take On Me". If you haven't seen it, I advise having a drink or two first

    Doesn't she need a vote of no confidence first - due to the fixed term parliament act?

    She wants to call a GE - needs labour to back her on this - its actually a no confidence vote or two-thirds of MPs.

    So we have a choice of Hard-Right, Harder-Right, Hard-Left or Tim Farron's Remain.

    Oh What a time to be alive!

    June 8th. Corbyn will be the turkey voting for Christmas, or will he chicken out?...

    Not enough time for them to replace him even if he stepped down, which won't happen.

    Good political move by May to the detriment of just about everyone else.

    I suppose whatever deal she gets from Brexit will be under the "I have a mandate" excuse...

    Obviously Teresa May is as worried as I am about the state of the mental health and general state of the country as I am ....who in their right mind would appoint Arry as their manager.

    Cameron promised he wouldn't resign after the Brexit vote and did, May promised she wouldn't call a general election and has.
    At least Corbyn is true to his word...."I am unelectable"...and he is sticking to it.....

    Going to be fun till the vote on June 8th
