The Empress of Mars - Doctor Who Review

Doctor Who News: Reports " Empress Of Mars had an estimated audience of 3.58 million viewers, a share of 20.6% of the total TV audience, according to unofficial overnight viewing figures "

Lets Get Real:

After the depressing Thursday it was nice to have Doctor Who back on form, the Doctor on Mars trying to stop a War between 1881 UK Armed Forces and the Ice Warriors, to be fair to the Doctor he was in awkward place, the British had invaded Mars, the local residents were not happy to say the least.  The Doctor spent most of the episode trying to make sure that neither side killed each other, of course both sides tried to do so.  What was excellent was the guest stars, they were given back stories, made you care about them, the Colonel turned out to be a hero of a kind, even if he did shoot his 2nd in Command, the Doctor did not seem that bothered on that subject.  It was nice see at the start and finish the lines, God Save the Queen, the Queen must think this 1974 again, when she faced having to have two elections!!!

Boris Johnson SUPPORTS PM May - Post 2017 Election

Telegraph - Live Reporting: Reports on the opinion of the Foreign Secretary, " Boris Johnson has told Tory MPs plotting to remove Theresa May to "calm down" and hailed the Prime Minister as a "woman of extraordinary qualities".  "

Lets Get Real:

The Foreign Secretary has learned one lesson, those that stab the PM in the back rarely get the job, thus BJ is doing the smart move, going all out to support the PM at the present, then in a few months time he can take over, although the Conservative Party is ruthless at getting rid of leaders, it also likes loyal Ministers, and BJ is being totally loyal, give it six months to a year then he can take over, with great applause from the Party.  The Foreign Secretary is a canny politician. Also Boris Johnson will wipe the floor with Jeremy Corbyn, BJ went o a better public school, not the minor one like Corbyn. 

The Conservative Party and the DUP - Post 2017 Election

Guardian: Reports " The “confidence and supply” deal that Theresa May is trying to strike with the Democratic Unionist party is one of the most hand to mouth arrangements a minority government can use to keep it in power. "

Lets Get Real:

As long as the DUP supports the Conservative Party on Budget issues and security then we should have a stable government, one assumes that the DUP will demand extra money for North Ireland, that should not be a problem.  It will be interesting to see their take on Brexit, what kind of Brexit do they actually want, they might have only two choices, Brexit that takes the North as part of Republic or a hard Brexit that keeps the North as part of the UK.  Also lets recall that the Labour Party is for Brexit, it will be interesting to see how they vote on Brexit issues.   It was bad Thursday,  could have been at Titanic levels, except for the FACT that the Labour Party LOST, if they had visited more Conservative marginals they could have won, sometimes you only get the one chance. 

The FUTURE of PM May - Post 2017 Election

Mail on Sunday: Reports " May attempts reshuffle as she fights to shore up her position as PM while rivals plot - with signs she WILL bow to pressure and appoint a deputy  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM has to batton down the hatches, she should for for a HARD BREXIT, and dare the remainers in the House of Commons to vote with Jeremy Corbyn, it should be noted that the Labour Party is not united on Brexit, the Government can count on a few Labour MPs supporting the Government.   Also in all the praise for Jeremy Corbyn from the left it has been forgotten that he is not that great in the House of Commons.  They say a week is a long time in politics, six months to year is a lifetime.   The Conservative has to go popular, craft new laws that get the UK population to support the party again, keep the winter fuel allowance for all, keep the lock on pensions, cut back on austerity, someone else can pay the bill.  The young who voted for Corbyn will get peeved that they did not win, in six months time or a year and with a new leader the Conservatives can win again, nothing is over in till its over. 

The Clinton Failure - Post 2016 - Dems Post Clinton

Vanity Fair: Reports "  The Clintons, by contrast, kept sticking around. When it comes to power, and a few other things, they can’t control their urges. "

Lets Get Real:

The Election 2016 Ghost, HRC is back in the spotlight, she is blaming everyone else for her defeat from Putin to the DNC, and by linkage the Obama Administration.   One gets the feeling that HRC wants to run in 2020, you can see the mind process, Trump is a disaster, I look good, I am a Leader, the US needs me as President.  In her soul she must be thinking, I stood by Bill, I am owed it by the Party and the Country.   In the real world, HRC is a two time loser, she lost to Obama in 2008 and to Trump in 2016, by taking up all the air in the room it is making harder for new faces to shine, at present the leaders and hopefuls for 2020 are in their 70s, more OAP Party than youth.  It seems that the dim young, prefer older leaders, that must be the sole reason for the success of Jeremy Corbyn in 2017.   At some point the powerful interests with the Democratic Party have to make it clear to HRC that  it is over, SHE LOST, there are no third chapters in US politics, she is no Reagan. 

The Conservatives and the DUP - Post GE2017

BBC News: Reports " A Conservative deal with the Democratic Unionist Party would only apply to "big issues" like the economy and security, the defence secretary has said. "

Lets Get Real:

The left wing BBC News and Guardian are loving this, they see it as a way to rollback Brexit, also having a go at the Conservative Party.  The basic facts are that either the Conservative Party or the Labour Party would need the support of the DUP to get laws passed in the House of Commons.   The DUP are firm supporters of Brexit, but they do not want a hard border between the North and South, in this the Party could be on dodgy ground, they might be forced to chose between keeping the North in the UK or see as part of the Republic for Treaty talks, one can assume that they would support a HARD BREXIT if means keeping the North in the UK.   The Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn is deluded, the one thing needed to keep the Conservatives in line is the threat of Corbyn in No 10.   Those remainers in the Conservative Party should put a sock in it, it can be stated that it is the same people turning up all the time, some are remainers and have been sacked by PM May.   The PM should say SORRY to the Conservative members of the House of Commons, for the bad campaign and her fault for going for an early election, but also she should be firm, its her or Corbyn.   Let's see of May can fight with her back against the WALL, that is when a leader is defined.
