She just doesn't get it all. Every speech starts and ends with her assuming the mindset of the British Public. Assuming she's not a total moron then her biggest mistake was to pick a side. How can she expect to unite a Kingdom when she refuses to acknowledge any other voice? She's no Churchill, Thatcher or whoever she idolises and expects to replicate. Her legacy will be of failure.

Not since I got an electric shock from a lawnmower flex.
What a relief that the media’s influence has waned sufficiently that it doesn’t matter who else they find.
If they haven’t been already, they’ll be overtaken by social media and other alternative outlets. The evidence is clear as day.

Her only political quality is stubbornness. She has no nouse, vision, ability, aptitude, people skills, intelligence, leadership, or statesmanship. Her entire political career is based on her doggedly sticking at something.
Her drop and Corbyn's increase nicely coinciding with the General Election that May called. Remember when Parliament shut down because of it? Remember when all Brexit negotiations were put on hold so the parties could go on the campaign trail? She's an utter disaster.This is a good summation as to how opinion has fluctuated over the last couple of years.
Essentially people just want out.
I'm tired Bercow, it's not acceptable any more. It's time to go, it's time to fecking go now
I realise now I phrased that badly
didn't mean out of europe, just the political system.Worth remembering for people that when she was Home Secretary her and her teams motto was that of Millwall football club - ''No one likes us, we don't care''
Somebody posted in here something about her being on the autism spectrum; I tend to agree with that. She hasn't a clue or any sense of other people's perspectives; no self awareness either. Her attempt at trying to speak for the public just appeared forced and false.
One of the Labour MPs May needs to win over
She kows she's going to lose, so she's made a (pointless) play for public support by throwing everyone else under the Brexit bus.
May's actions look like someone trying to push through No Deal, without wanting to publicly admit that's the plan
What else would so perfectly explain the last year?
Really hope I'm wrong because it will be a total disaster for the UK

It isn't meant as an offence. She has the traits - the same ones I see up close in a family member with Aspergers. Also Tory and Autism are not mutually exclusive categories.
The most worrying thing(Well part of from the no deal stuff)is May clearly being ok with playing into the traitor narrative. Number 10 has already said Bercow went against the ''will of the people''.
Which is completely fecked since we've already had a MP who pro immigration killed and a failed attempt at trying to kill Khan and Corbyn.
Wes Streeting MP:
I’ve thought long and hard before saying this, but theresa_may knows that MPs across the House are subjected to death threats - some very credible. Her speech was incendiary and irresponsible. If any harm comes to any of us, she will have to accept her share of responsibility.
Luke Pollard MP:
I agree Wes. It’s not just MPs but all those who work tirelessly for MPs who are now at greater risk because of the dangerous words chosen by the PM tonight.

I've yet to see any praise for May's speech
Lads have I missed something here? Tusk has said the UK can have an extension only if May gets the agreement through the commons. Number one, has it not been ruled that no 3rd vote can take place on her deal and number two, if the agreement does go through then an extension isn’t needed? Apologies if I’m being a bit thick.
A majority of MPs can overrule the speaker, so if there's a majority to support the deal there should be a majority to put it to a vote (i.e. May can't just bring it to a vote to lose again), and even if the agreement goes through, an extension will be needed to put through all the necessary legislation due to how hilariously late we've left it.
But yeah, don't blame you for being confused as it's a cluster of fecks.
I don't think i've despised someone that I haven't met before more than her and I hate that she makes me feel like that which makes me despise her more.
Speech here

Cheers, wasn’t aware that MP’s could overrule the speaker, but its unlikely especially after her speech tonight that anymore MP’s are going to back her deal.
Looks like it’s either going to be no deal, revoke article 50 or a long extension with the UK participating in the elections.
It's a general constitutional point and probably the only one worth remembering: Parliament can do whatever the feck they want, as long as 50%+1 want to do it, even if they've previously said they can't do it. Loosely, it's governed by convention, but as soon as that threshold is reached they can decide to ignore convention.
I had to ask Baz how to build a wall
Standard Dobba post, whataboutism.
Does anyone know which Chuka turned up? The one who didn't want Labour to back a second referendum, the one who does want a second referendum or the one who wanted to end Freedom of Movement?
Every single criticism of May is met by "whattabout Corbyn" these days so I'm not too fussed about calling out a career opportunist tbh
Don’t be daft. Everyone is calling May a twat. Corbyn pissed his pants earlier too, you don’t have to back your man through every criticism.
Can’t we all agree that they’re both utterly fecking useless
Not even remotely true, you are being paranoid.
Go look at any prominent tweet criticising May. Choose any you want, so you know I'm not just cherry picking.
Twitter is for idiots
End of debate.
I do think Cameron will take some beating as worst PM in the last century (if not ever) but Jesus H Christ, May is trying her damndest to out-do him.
That speech was unreal. Genuine tone of a dictator. You’d think the referendum was won by 80%+.

It's about his view on Brexit, which is what he was there for right? So, which one does he hold this week?
Her position is untenable.
The whole process has been an unnecessary strain on the UK.
But I maintain my point of view, Great Britain is no longer great. The world is laughing in our direction, and our Government is watching the disarray unfold with popcorn in hand.
I've been heavily involved in projects bringing in billions of pounds in Govt revenue, and for what? To be attacked by the PM and her media cronies?
I now work on a Brexit contingency planning unit in a non-ministerial department, and the lack of support we get from the people who have dragged us to this position is disgraceful.
Brexit or no Brexit, throw her out and dump her on an island with Farage, Boris and the others who created this mess.

Theresa May’s ‘people’ consist only of the 17.4m leave voters from June 2016. There are seemingly no other ‘people’ in the entire country.
I’m doing business and financial planning for one of the NHS transformation programmes. Got our budget slashed a month ago, now a further reduction (‘efficiency saving’) shaved off another third of the money. People in the office joking don’t worry, BoJo will send us bags of cash on the day after 29 March. The whole situation is shocking and comical at the same time. Ultimately it’s the patients that will suffer. Not that TM gives two shits about that.
Which area you doing the contingency planning for?
She's not very good at this politics thing is she, Mrs. May.
What I do love though is someone so deeply out of touch with society telling me how I'm feeling. I didn't realise I was tired of the infighting until she told me I was.
