The softly pro remain May will probably be PM then. How will that sit with UKIP and other Leave voters? A bad move or something to blame if we get a shit deal from Brussels? ---

Apropos of nothing in particular, according to Wikipedia Angela Merkel has no children. Just saying. ---

Politics has become so predictably dull in the UK recently. WTF is going on? ---

Cameron expects to go after PMQs on Wednesday. New PM by Wednesday evening. Strange days indeed. ---

I don’t really understand why there is all this to-and-fro in first place. Surely if Cameron stands down, it would just go to the Vice-President? That’s what he’s there for, ain’t it? ---

Nah, think the Director of football or the youth coach usually stand in till we sign an unheard of PM from a mid table EU country. ---

It was bad enough when we thought it’d just be 150K Tories deciding the next PM. If the Tory Party cannot find one serious challenger, they’ve no business being in government. They’ve effectively cleared the field. Gotta wonder how much dirt there is on those people. Leadsom’s comments about mothering are being cited as the cause. She could only provide a one year summary of her tax affairs. ---

Interesting that May is against a snap election yet she called for one when Brown replaced Blair!! ---

Think might be a master-stroke, cos I really can’t see Corbyn standing up in parliament and saying anything negative about a _Woman_. If they could also make her black, northern, and disabled, they would completely stymie the Red Terror. ---

Hy guys, I’ve done some background checks on the new PM, and found out her name is anagram of “Hate My Arse” Food for thought. ---

Anagram Check is the first thing you do. I remember the Spitting Image book of yore pointing out that “Nigel Lawson” was an anagram of “We all sign on”. ---

Other than doing quite a poor job for the last few years, May also comes across as lacking any personality and seems quite unlikable. You can’t help but think that if Labour had selected someone like her, many would be suggesting she was unelectable. ---

I know i can get “NOB” from Jeremy Corbyn, but need some help on the rest of it. Any clues, Bearsy? ---
