She tweeted that she fought a leadership campaign opposing the idea of a separate organisation in Scotland. Tory MSP Murdo Fraser, however, said Scots MPs would "work behind the scenes" to champion Scotland's interests on issues like immigration.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 69599243 United States 06/10/2017 01:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Theresa May’s ‘abusive’ top advisers quit as Tory recriminations grow Theresa May was forced to sacrifice her two closest advisers – Fiona Hill and Nick Timothy – on Saturday, as Tory recriminations grew over the party’s catastrophic general election performance. The two aides, who were joint chiefs of staff, have been widely blamed for both strategic and policy failings during the campaign and had become increasingly unpopular among ministers and MPs for their abrasive styles and refusal to listen to advice even from cabinet ministers. Their removal from Downing Street is a stark demonstration of May’s weakness in the aftermath of an election that has left the prime minister clinging to power, stripped of an outright majority, and lacking the mandate for Brexit that she sought. She is now deprived of the two people she had trusted most and who were with her during her transition from the Home Office to No 10. [link to www.theguardian.com (secure)] |

Protesters chanted outside Downing Street, blasting the Conservative Party for uniting with the DUP, which has drawn criticism for its right-wing stance on issues such gay rights and abortion. People carried placards reading anti-DUP and pro-Jeremy Corbyn messages, while chants of “Tories out, refugees in” echoed across Parliament Square. The protest comes the day after Mrs May formed a minority government propped up by the DUP, having failed to win a majority in Thursday’s General Election. [link to www.standard.co.uk] |

The UK has lost faith in this political quagmire of brexshit, they really have. There is an uprise emerging very fast and I can hear the revolution ringing from the minds of the new breed.

There's another dimension that I haven't heard anyone mention yet: Brexiteers are a huge voting block now. And they coalesced around the Tories. That means the Tories now depend on Brexiteers - and that means Tories will work for them. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 69599243 United States 06/10/2017 02:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Theresa May's general election disaster all down to her calamitous campaign, Ashcroft poll reveals The critical damage Theresa May wreaked on her chances of winning the election during a disastrous campaign has been laid bare in a poll published by a senior Conservative donor. A survey by long-standing Tory supporter Lord Michael Ashcroft on 8 June revealed huge numbers of people who voted Labour only made up their minds to do so in the last weeks and days beforehand. Now, the survey has revealed that 26 per cent of Labour voters committed to the party in “the last few days”. And 57 per cent of those who backed Jeremy Corbyn's party said they made their decision in the last month – indicating the poorly regarded Conservative campaign was a factor in their decision. In contrast, Conservative voters were more likely to know from the outset which way they were voting, Lord Ashcroft said. But her biggest single mistake is seen as the social care fiasco, which affected elderly homeowners – usually a solid Tory support base. [link to www.independent.co.uk (secure)] |

Barwell wanted the UK to Remain inside the European Union and branded Nigel Farage a “bigot” and a “racist” who “hates modern Britain” in the run up to the EU referendum. Speaking to Westmonster, Nigel Farage said: “This is the worst possible start. Gavin Barwell is a staunch Remainer who abuses those who want to control immigration.” [link to www.westmonster.com] |
