Listening to Teresa May's nauseating, fawning, grovelling speech .....

[MrMarkyMark]

He is the leader of the party, elected twice with an overwhelming majority by the members. How can the party dump him ? Feckwit much ?

You are as much of a deluded idiot as old scooter

Right so May should just go over there and be a dick to the new president.

No. May should not go over there at all. At least for 6 months to a year. She's gone over too early like an eager puppy wishing to please its master.

Trump should be allowed to be seen settling into the job, he might not even be in the job in six months. How will May feel then? Like a right £$@!

A plan rushed is no plan at all.

That could put us in a very strong position.

So many comedians on CUK.

Gone where? You must be the most dimwitted feckwit over here.

He was a very good backbench MP, and should have stayed there. He can't even hold a shadow cabinet together for more than about 5 mins. The principal job of the Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition is to oppose (the clue is in the name) and he is utterly useless at it.
The only people who support him are the 300k radical marxist 6th formers who voted him in as Leader. 90% of his MPs fear their seats are at considerable risk as long as he is in charge.
Now, what were you saying about dimwitted feckwits?

I'm cautiously optimistic about her visit. He needs friends, and he will know that. We can be his biggest, bestest friend, far more so than any of those pesky Europeans. ...

The snag is one can only be a friend on his terms.

I doubt if he'll tolerate much dissent or compromise. So in that sense, it's like holding a wolf by the ears.

I guess if the most powerful figure currently in the World invites you to come for a chat you'd refuse?

Oh look, the feckwit number 2 has arrived to help out.

One whiff of privitising the NHS and the electorate will give them a right kicking. Corbyn will be gone so the might even have a bit of competition. The British public aren't as daft as you think.

52% daft

I agree with you. But...

Should she have declined his invite?
If she'd have gone in six months, one can only imagine the press headlines about 'back of the queue', so there is something symbolic about going over there first.

The reality is there is no deal to be had with the current POTUS. Or rather any deal would be on their terms, completely one sided, and would be terrible for us to enter into. Such a deal would be far worse than how we trade with them now.
