The end is nigh. May needs to go but no one would relish the challenge ahead, so limp on she will and any hope of reversing a Labour resurgence will end, leading to a normal result after 10 years or so of a party in power.

I'm a fan of the posh boys, to an extent but it'd have been nice if they had stuck around at least so they might be on hand for some assistance if felt necessary.
Good. We need the polls to stay in the Goldilocks Zone. Bad enough for the Conservatives to keep the government weak and prevent a second Brexit election. But not good enough for Labour to validate their shift to post reality politics.

Cameron 36% May 42%
(Angela 33%)
How many seats did Cameron win in 2015? Was it more or fewer than Mrs May?
Also, how big was Angela's lead, in % terms, over the second party? Was is more or fewer than Mrs May's lead?
I expect Labour will get a boost in their conference week, and the Conservatives will get a boost in theirs.
Not sure, a week of Mrs May on the telly and the Tories might be struggling to hit 30%
True. The more voters see of awkward Theresa the less they seem to like her. Notice how she did better in the polls while one her 3+ week holiday in. August

Exports are more competitive with the weaker pound, the stock market is high but not soaring away to ridiculous heights, unemployment is at historic lows and the deficit is heading south.

Very impressive. It still ended up worse than he managed.

Blimey, SeanT won't like that! TfL and Khan look to have public opinion behind them.
Sort of. People who don't use Uber are pleased. Those who do use it are annoyed.
Less than half (just) of customers thought TfL were wrong; nearly a third thought they were right. As Khan said they should direct their anger at Uber.
Anyway, I suspect figures like that will encourage TfL to stand their ground, petition or no petition.

How much you want to stake on Mrs May fighting the 2022 general election?
Too early to tell whether Osborne taking a break from the Commons is a mistake. He's taken the calculated risk that a break from the Commons after the first half of his career was over would do no harm. And that this might be a Commons to sit out. Noone is going to want to claim ownership f the Brexit fiasco - which as an aside is May's remaining USP - so being away from the disaster scene makes sense.
Osborne is also young. He can return for a London Remain leaning seat when ever he wants. The bit of the strategy I don't quite get is being so high profile at the Standard. Doesn't fit with the ' break ' narrative. Though that might be as much about taking on a two term Khan for the Mayoralty in 2024 as much as anything else.

Huge personal mistake by Osborne to flounce off... He would probably be PM now if he hadn't.
Nah, the Leadbangers wouldn't have allowed it.
Plus, you* Brexit, you fix it.
So it's not about serving the country as best one can even if onr disagrees with the genersl directIon then .
He's a democrat, he wouldn't been able to deliver on a Brexit that was campaigned for.
He cites the Carl Albert predicament.
He could have stuck around to limit damage as an MP, and be on hand should the party dp a dramatic turn and need help.
Lord knows I like Cameron better, but we could have used a former pm in the house as well.
He didn't want to be Ted Heath.
The moment Mrs May made it clear she was going to press ahead with more grammar schools, he knew he had to leave.
The only Tory majority winning manifesto in the last 25 years pledged no more grammars, and Mrs May was going to try and overturn it, Dave would have voted against it, and a lot more Tory MPs would have followed his lead.
Once again, he put party ahead of himself.
He's young, I wonder what he is planning for next. Not as quick as George to land a high profile job.
She's stuck around to try and solve a difficult political situation.
More than certain posh boys ever did.
Members should back her.
I heard the same nonsense when IDS was in charge.
She made net seat losses against a Marxist IRA condoning tool.
One posh boy resigning because it was the honourable thing to do, the other one was forced out by Mrs May, if she had any class, she'd resign her seat and urge George to stand in her place.
PS - You sound like one of those boring lefty idiots I know, who keep on banging on the vileness of the class system despite having attended places like Winchester and Oxford.

To be fair people were saying in 2010 that Dave couldn't go five years.
Too early to tell whether Osborne taking a break from the Commons is a mistake. He's taken the calculated risk that a break from the Commons after the first half of his career was over would do no harm. And that this might be a Commons to sit out. Noone is going to want to claim ownership f the Brexit fiasco - which as an aside is May's remaining USP - so being away from the disaster scene makes sense.
Osborne is also young. He can return for a London Remain leaning seat when ever he wants. The bit of the strategy I don't quite get is being so high profile at the Standard. Doesn't fit with the ' break ' narrative. Though that might be as much about taking on a two term Khan for the Mayoralty in 2024 as much as anything else.
Maybe Osborne has decided to go for a post-politics career in political punditry like Portillo rather than return to the Commons.

Twitter failed to attract more global monthly users in the second quarter, spooking investors looking for evidence that the company is on a sustainable long-term growth path. The shares tumbled more than 9% in early trading, even as quarterly revenue topped analysts' projections.

Yes, but even if people thought he should have done better, he definitely went forwards. Despite increasing vote share May went backwards, and that's the key.

I don't know. I think investors will keep throwing money at tw@tter for the foreseeable future. It is the bubble effect, all "important" people use tw@tter and so think it is great and just a matter of time until it really catches on.
The problem is tw@tter as a user experience is bloody awful and as we have talked about on here loads of times they have f##k all idea who their users are and way behind the likes of Facebook in so many technological ways.

On the subject of grammar schools, what is the logic of being against them but for private schools?
How many billion? For pen pushing pensions in Brussels? Gold played Euro fat cats ladle the gravy.
I'd have a serious think about voting for Brexit in a second EU-ref, must admit. I mean I know we're probably better off in the EU and all. But the amount of gravy on that particular train gives an urge to just tell them all to sing for their supper.
EU Gravy trains are just about the only type of train I detest

It will be fascinating to see the post-politics May. If she's capable of loosening up when the responsibility is lifted, I'd love to hear her take on this period.

Portillo has the advantage of being charismatic.
He wasn't booed at an Olympics, for example.
By his own admission, Michael Portillo was the most hated politician in the country at one point, he became to be liked. Defeat made him more popular.

Down 3% since Mrs May's speech.
May 42%
(Angela 33%)
Also, how big was Angela's lead, in % terms, over the second party? Was is more or fewer than Mrs May's lead?
Plus, you* Brexit, you fix it.
*Not you, obviously.

Exports are more competitive with the weaker pound, the stock market is high but not soaring away to ridiculous heights, unemployment is at historic lows and the deficit is heading south.
Like a ridge of high pressure, unfortunately the forecast is seemingly set for hurricanes Jezza and Brexit !

Oh well, we're slightly better run than Spain and catalonia at least.
In only ONE of those polls have the Tories hit the 3% lead they had in June's election - never mind the much higher levels of support they had before the election.

If Uber meet labour laws and registration criteria then everyone is a winner.
Anyway, I suspect figures like that will encourage TfL to stand their ground, petition or no petition.

That said his autobiography should be fun.
Theresa completely crushed UKIP, limiting them to just 2%.
AfD on the other hand got 13%
When she goes people will shudder to think she lasted this long

Edit: Ah - I see you edited your 4% to 2%
