    Just a quick question, why does Cameron have to go to the queen in person to resign as PM.

    Can't he just write a quite note and email it across as a PDF?

    You would have thought that having two women competing for the job would have gone down well with the Tory cabinet, rekindling fond childhood memories of the trial-by-combat phase of their nanny selections, but May was seen as the safer pair of hooves. She immediately vowed to unite Britain – my guess is against the poor. She will no doubt introduce a cap for migrants. Probably an orange cone with an “M” on the front that gives out an electric shock if they stray too close to a golf course.

    Can we put a little cap or collar on Frankie Boyle that gives a teensy weensy electric shock if he comes too close to Hadrians Wall.....................This needn`t be orange but tartan if it helps him feel at home........................

    As MrsGrey has said, there is a huge difference in classifications for class of fruit and veg compared to "shape" of it.

    The true fact is that it is the supermarkets themselves which impose the stupid views and ideas on what fruit and veg is acceptable.

    Because last time she replied all and there was a few issues from that. So now she only does Apple Face time or actually in person.

    The Queen is Head of State. The PM serves the Queen, and its etiquette.

    As a further note, why does Teresa May need to go in person to be appointed?

    The queen can email across the offer letter, together with the job spec, staff handbook, grievance policy, plus the page to waive the EU working time directive

    It would save the cost of having a helicopter hover above the palace..

    It will be safer for the Queen too if she doesn't have to see the Sith Lord in person.

    barracks, I think that Chaz needs to be in on the interview as the next incumbent of Buck House, just in case.

    I thought it was still Angela Merkel until we get through Article 50?

    Didn't Theresa May demand Gordon Brown go to the country when Tony Blair stood down? I don't think she will be going to the country now she has become PM.

    Preston,
    The law has changed since then.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Does the law state that she isn't allowed to?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Pretty much. She has to lose 2 'No Confidence' votes I believe.

    It sounds a bit like Hotel California... ;lol

    Ironically Jeremy 'the unelectable' got his job by members of the public voting for him as leader, DarthMay got hers because her mates at work voted her in.

    Seems legit.

    Democracy innit ;ok

    Only labour members voted and had there been more than one candidate only conservative members would have voted.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    At least she'll be tough on crime!

    Having been Home Sec she'll know all about it.

    Our resident PC who currently has 14 open cases to investigate can testify to how her cuts in the Met have really helped.

    Good news all round.

    Then there's less people in the passport office following her cuts. Changing our EU passport for a good old Brishish one should be a peice of cake.

    and there's G4S.

    Suz,

    I get the feeling you are really happy with her being our new PM.

    When I say over the moon what I mean is beside myself with rage.

    I'm a public sector worker, she'll have me on a zero hours contract before you can say 'has anyone got Guy Fawkes's phone number'!

    Thing is Labour members who joined before mid January of this year don't get a vote in the new leadership campaign even though the application said new members would qualify to vote for leadership and NEC elections.

    The new left wing version of democracy? ;hmm
