    First, like Mrs May.

    Nope, it was Cabinet Office questions before PMQs, so he had to be there, and would have attracted more attention had he left.

    As an aside I backed Green as next out of the cabinet this morning.

    Its just far too easy. Corbyn has gone backwards to his early efforts. Really, really poor.
  • MortimerMortimer Posts: 14,158
    She's on fire today.

    Corbyn doesn't seem to listen, or care about her responses. He can't seem to connect two issues at all, let alone cleverly or wittily.

    Now we have the summary ignoring every answer he has had. Its pathetic.

    Corbyn just not as good as he has been.

    Shrill, ineffective.

    He will do the same in response to Hammond.

    He is far too shouty

    What is it with May? You'd have thought that the one thing any aspiring PM would have learnt from recent British politics is that PMs and Chancellors have to have a good relationship, that one must not undermine the other, that arguments should be kept private.

    And yet, ever since she chose him, May has allowed Hammond to be undermined.

    The woman really is totally inept.

    Anyway off for a bit. Need to earn some money to pay for some expensive electrical work in my kitchen.

    Later......

    SNP making something out of nothing - 7% of those staff were British, and apparently none of them paid UK tax (they exist in the EU tax system outside domestic taxation).

    Also, the 7% might well find themselves a role in the UK Medicines Agency , which will no doubt expand.

    Yes, one or the other. There is going to be some good news on housing in the budget and she can't resist having a patsy question set up so she can steal her own Chancellor's thunder. Teamwork it ain't.

    Hammond is completely bereft of imagination. I don't blame her for wanting rid of him. The problem arises when you try and replace him. There is no obvious successor.

    So instead undermine someone you think is struggling, without any plan to replace him ?

    Don't think the PM is much cop at strategy...
  • Ishmael_ZIshmael_Z Posts: 8,981
    There is not much point backbenchers asking shouty angry questions about the big picture, because the PM can always wriggle out if there is no chance of a follow up q. Much better all round to ask specific question about a constituent.

    If Brexit hadn't happened, Osborne would probably have scheduled it for some point between 2015 and 2020. Too much else going on now and too little money to spare to be able to smooth over the short term inconsistencies merging the two would bring about.

    Sadly it seems to common at these events that politicians decide they have to Do Something on everything even if they Did Something just a few months ago.

    I haven't seen PMQs in ages and I'm no fan on May but she looks confident. Even cocksure.

    Must be the 'nothing to lose' mentality.

    Likewise. Don't normally bother but here for the budget. She is looking quite robust. If only she would learn to work with her Chancellor...
    Hammond is completely bereft of imagination. I don't blame her for wanting rid of him. The problem arises when you try and replace him. There is no obvious successor.
    Gove. Obvious. If it means that, say Fox, gets the boot to keep some sort of balance that would just be a bonus.
    The trouble with Gove is he would immediately start something horrendously radical like merging tax and NI, just as we are entering the worst of the Brexit clusterf***.
    We have been promised that for more than a decade now. It requires someone like Gove to deliver it.
    Using a new multi-million pound IT system that will be up and running within six months no doubt.
    Merging income tax and national insurance is one of those logical policies that would be politically disastrous.

    Bet that read quite well. Pity about the monotone delivery.

    Same here. I’m on ‘Venezuela’ as a joke.

    Completely disagree with May on drugs. Shows how sheltered she is.

    +1. The results of the war are in. We lost.
    Yep. Drugs policy should either be like Amsterdam and Portugal, or like Bangkok and Dubai. A muddling middle way doesn’t work.

    Has someone in Hammond's office opened a Ladbrokes account recently, I wonder?
