Big Treeza

That's what Janey Godley calls her, as she rips the piss out of her:

So today, the PM was in Scotland. The media outlets were very coy about where she was going beforehand and even more coy later about where she had been.

Turned out it was here:

Deepest Aberdeenshire, between Aberdeen and Stonehaven. In a village hall, apparently booked 

as a children's party. Nobody knows who the audience were. Local Tories? The people she spoke to in Leeds last week, some of whom were allegedly recruited from the local Jobcentre, poor sods?

What is going on with Theresa May, for heavenssake? She is the Prime Minister, and has a mandate to govern on behalf of the Tory party, although it seems she distrusts her party so much she wants a personal mandate and is putting us all through a general election (costing 128m quid) to get it. In this general election campaign, it seems she will do just about anything except meet the voters. So while every other candidate in the forthcoming general election is out canvassing, she's in hiding. Have there been attempts on her life? Or threats on her life that prevent her going out in public? Or is she just feart and  not very good at dealing with people? I know which one my money's on.

Do we really have to settle for sound bites in which the words 'strong' and 'stable' appear in every sentence, even when the question asked has nothing to do with strength or stability? Could we not have a proper grown-up discussion of EU issues? Do we have to settle for Treeza accusing the Labour Party of planning a 'a coalition of chaos' with the SNP - or is it with the LibDems? There is absolutely no evidence of such a coalition ever having been suggested, despite the fact that some of us are peching for a coalition of some sort, to rescue Labour, if nothing else.

And still the Tories' poll ratings are high. Brexit ratings maybe not as high as they were. In Scotland 92% of Brexit voters want to keep freedom of movement.

That ain't going to happen unless the UK can come to some sort of accommodation with the 27 states in the EU - and that's not looking hopeful. The EU is going to play hard ball. It will want UK debts settled before any trade deals are agreed. Maybe it will even want to settle the issue of UK nationals in the EU and EU nationals in the UK - I hope so - before anything else happens.

It's still a mess. A Tory mess. It beats me how anyone could vote for this party seeing what they've done to the UK.
