Hello again. I'm sorry I am not a John Major fan. This is the man who involved us in the exchange rate mechanism fiasco in the 90s and with that Soros chap caused untold misery. I do think he has the experience in how to deal with the wolves in the Tory party. Mrs May would do well to have a chat with him! Yes I agree, holding onto power is the raison d'être of the Tory party. However on this occasion, they will have to be disciplined and actually get on with the job of running the country while seeking a broad consensus. Someone has to lead. At present they have a mandate but not a majority. So they will need to think about what is best for the many and not the few. Cameron did not even consider the public's growing disillusion with the EU. He was arrogant and while it was right for him to go. He did not stay in Parliament and serve his constituents on the back benches. What many MPs fail to realise, is that they are public servants. This Parliament, whoever is leading it has an important job to do. It is one of the most diverse Parliaments for ages. All of these MPs have been elected to serve their constituents and the country as a whole. For once let us hope that they do not indulge in petty and self-indulgent point-scoring or infighting and actually do their jobs properly. I can dream can't I? P.S There's always Have I Got News for You, The Last Leg and The News Quiz to cheer us up! Short of another GE and Labour winning a majority I want May to remain as PM. Why? Because despite her weakened position the possible replacements are a bunch of insanonauts. Boris? Gove? Rudd? Even Davis is deluded, and IDS had his chance. Seriously? May please. Unless someone wants to finally stick it to Ken Clarke and let him deal with Europe. We might even get a good deal out of it. He didn't want Brexit but he'll attempt to do the best for the UK and the Europeans like him.

Hello again.
Ken Clarke? Hee hee! The EU negotiators will never expect that. I remember him as the smoking and drinking Health Secretary. He is a very experienced politician who would be an asset, certainly better than our resident clown Boris.
As for another General Election, I cannot deny the facts. Jeremy Corbyn sees Labour as a government in waiting and has told the party to remain in campaign mode. This action makes an autumn election more likely.
In addition, the involvement of the DUP in government puts the Irish Peace Process at risk. Sinn Féin are not happy and warning of problems ahead.
There are many huge issues our politician s have to sort out. The very future of the United Kingdom is at stake. I hope for the best, but expect the worst.

The filter is buried in the admin options - there are only three words, including the f word and the c word. No idea who set them up, I seem to remember some (all?) being set up moons ago. You don't have any stars! How did that happen? No idea - I'll look into it
