The Press and the New PM - May Era

BBC News - Live Reporting: Reports the following in its 6.16pm post, " Laura Kuenssberg: May's 'radical note'..BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says it was a "confident" speech with a surprisingly forceful focus on social justice, social mobility and extending opportunity to those who have maybe been left behind - which she suggests could possibly have been made by a Labour politician..."There was a radical note to that speech which maybe not everyone might have been expecting," she adds..Despite this, the BBC's political editor says the new prime minister should be under no illusion about how "tough a ride" she will have. "

Lets Get Real:

One only hopes that Conservative backbench MPs will not have to remind the PM that she leads the Conservative Party, social care yes but not a nanny State, the Conservative Party is of the right, we want people to help themselves, we are not communists, as those in charge of Labour at the moment.   The main policy for PM May is to get the UK out of the EU.   The UK wants Brexit to mean Brexit, the UK wants control of its borders and who decides UK law, the House of Commons and not the EU.   On the whole a good start, lets see how it goes from here.

Sanders BACKS Hillary Clinton - Election 2016

Guardian: Reports " Bernie Sanders officially endorses Hillary Clinton for president..Former bitter Democratic primary foes reconcile at joint rally after series of policy compromises to party platform made to reflect Sanders’ campaign ideas  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the fight in the Democratic race is OVER, the question is will ALL Sander supporters vote for HRC, that is her main job now, get the Sanders people. make sure the African - American community understand that she has their side, but also has to show that she supporters law and order.    The issue of law and order has been taken up by Trump, the Democrats have to careful that they do not lose moderates who think LAW AND ORDER is the first job of a President.   It has to be said that Trump sounded rational, even Presidential when he was going through his law and order part of the speech, the Democrats have to careful they do not write off the Trump, his is a billionaire for a reason, just a reminder!

General Election in 2016? - May Era

Telegraph - Live Reporting: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn demanded a snap general election yesterday in a move that critics said was a “foolish” attempt to “hang on” as leader that could see 100 Labour MPs lose their seats. "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour is broke, the leader is at war with the MPs, Shadow Cabinet Ministers have to do double jobs, and even then that does not cover a working opposition.   The hard left of the Labour Party is more interested in destroying the Labour Party than in giving up leadership. This can only end when the Labour Party splits, its only a matter of time NOT IF.    The moderates with Labour should form a Center Party, then we can have a effective Opposition.  The Labour Party either reforms or it goes the way of the dodo, it's their choice, do the MPs have the guts to follow through.

The Labour Leadership Contest - Update

Guardian: Reports " Angela Eagle says 'I’m here to win' at launch of Labour leadership bid.Former shadow business secretary says she is not a Blairite, Brownite or Corbynista but a ‘strong Labour woman’  "

Lets Get Real:

Politics is a brutal business, just when Angela Eagle started her leadership bid the political press was watching the outcome of the Conservative contest, the succession of Prime Minister Elect Theresa May as the next UK PM.   Thus when Ms Eagle called on the press, BBC or ITV they were nowhere in sight.    As the Conservative contest closes the Labour one might have another candidate tomorrow.    If the ruling body of the Labour Party allows Jeremy Corbyn to be on the ballot  without the need for 51 votes then he will win, and the stand off will carry on, this could split the Labour Party.   As always the Conservative lead while the Labour Party falters on.

A Profile of the next UK PM - Theresa May

BBC News: Has a profile of the next UK PM Theresa May.

Lets Get Real:

Thus the UK will have its 2nd female PM, the first being of course Lady Thatcher.  It has been stated in the reviews that May does not like to whine and dine with fellow MPs, a fault that bought down Mrs T in the end, also she does not need much sleep and is very much in to detail, two aspects also shared by Mrs T.   If Theresa May is half the leader that Thatcher was the UK is in good hands.  Let us hope that May means it when she says that she understand what the UK voted for in the referendum, that out means out of the EU.

Is Corbyn Devious ? - Labour Leadership Contest

Telegraph - Live Reporting: Reports in its 11.41am post the following, " Dame Margaret Hodge, one of the first Labour MPs to call for a vote of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn, has said she now believes the Labour leader is a "devious man."...She told the BBC this morning: "I used to think he was a decent man. I'm beginning to think he's actually a devious man who is more concerned with destroying the Labour Party than he is with creating a force that can win an election in such difficult times and which will unite the Party."  

Lets Get Real:

Thus Labour starts to tear itself apart, this Conservative blog wants Jeremy Corbyn to stay forever as Labour Leader, then the Conservative Party will walk any election.   The Conservative contest in getting rougher, but that is part of the process, at this stage this blog is not supporting either candidate, lets see how they shape up during the election process.

Jeremy Corbyn in his own WORDS - Labour Leadership Contest

Lets Get Real:

Jeremy Corbyn in his own words.   Is Corbyn  clever or foolish, sane or mad, YOU DECIDE!
