Lockdoctor Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 1 hour ago, taxman said: Her track record of giving people high office isn't exactly a good one. Johnson, Davies, Rabb, Failing Grayling..... Your point makes no sense because Johnson, Davis and Raab haven't been sacked, but all resigned because they didn't agree with the way Mrs May was negotiating Brexit.

Top Cats Hat Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 14 hours ago, Lockdoctor said: I respect the high office Andrea Leadsom has been given by our Prime Minister. Wasn't she given the cabinet position in return for withdrawing from the leadership race? Also for the last 18 months, positions have been handed out primarily to maintain the Leave/Remain balance in the cabinet, rather than merit.

I thought she dropped out because of the flack she got for something she said? Quote A source close to the energy minister told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg "the abuse has been too great" for Mrs Leadsom during the contest. Mrs Leadsom had apologised to Mrs May on Monday after suggesting in a weekend newspaper interview that being a mother made her a better candidate for the job. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36763208 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what the address or whether there is one and neither will the investigators until it is fully investigated. Until the case goes to court and is proven it is still an "alleged" infringement of the law despite what may be reported by national media, or rather trial by national media.

I think Andrea Leadsom withdraw from the leadership race because she knew she was going to lose to Mrs May. I seem to remember Andrea Leadsom making a comment about Mrs May not having any children which didn't go down well. You make a fair point about the Leave/Remain balance in the cabinet but that doesn't mean the people chosen are not there on merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She lost a lot of support after she made the comment about Teresa May not having children but she also knew that the story about her 'misleading' CV was about to break. My understanding was that one of the conditions of her standing down was that she'd be given a cabinet position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case Brexit should be paused until we know the truth. This looks to be the biggest financial irregularity in electoral history. If the boot was on the other foot the likes of Farage would be screaming blue murder 1 hour ago, Lockdoctor said: I think Andrea Leadsom withdraw from the leadership race because she knew she was going to lose to Mrs May.

I agree Andrea Leadsom knew in 2016 she wasn't going to win but now she would have an excellent chance of winning a Tory leadership contest and becoming our country's third female Prime Minister. 1 hour ago, melthebell said: which Lockdoctor loves, just like the Views and actions of the DUP The DUP have only acted in the best interest of all the UK people who voted to leave the EU, the Union and the people of Northern Ireland.
