So over the weekend so so many decent people spoke out about Trump and the Travel Ban from countries with largely Muslim populations (though not those where he has business deals or hotels)..... I'm furious with the actions of the UK PM who instead of standing firm for values and morals seems to be cosying up to this monster and trying to get trade deals going..... is it me or does anyone else think if the UK had remained in the EU - we'd now have David Cameron joining the voices of the sane to condemn Trump. Is this what the UK has now become...... I've seen tweets of all the anti Trump visit marches and am so proud of those people getting out to have their voices heard...... and the online petition..... again British people standing up like they have done so many times before. Does anyone else think also that Theresa May is leading this country down the wrong path and that in this instance regardless of what you think about Brexit it would be better for us to be in the EU? Didn't Cameron warn of this also?
AIBU?
YANBU. I think she has turned out o be a complete disaster so far. the lack of strategy about Brexit, the UKIPisation of Tories, the absolutely disgraceful PMQ performance so far and now hand holding with Donald Trump! 
not only has she failed on so many fronts, she has also badly damaged the feminist message her presence in the Downing Street was sending. How many male PMs/heads of states would end up coming down to a joint press conference holding hands?? That too with Trump? I need to use eye bleach to rid of the memes I saw on twitter afterwards.
And now she is stuck: she can't go back on EU stance and she can't displease Trump. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes right now.
Yes I also believe we need to have a United front in Europe now if only to make sure Trump stays in his pants. He said he wants 35% import tax. If he pulls that one, May would be in a very bad place. In a "sad" place actually.
And what exactly would we sell to USA anyway? 
Trump did not win the popular vote. There was a targeted digital marketing campaign, apparently, which targeted groups of people on Facebook on a mass scale. Brilliant yet scary.
Brexit was similar apparently. That's the worry - TM is leading our country into the abyss based on a hairs breadth of a majority.
The US are a huge country, why on earth does she think they'll cut us a good deal?
Theresa the appeaser has got the UK backed into a corner. She has almost gone out of her way to deliver hard Brexit and piss off our European allies trying to flaunt that we don't need them because we're besties with US. Now look, we're tied to a fascist and when (not if) he's removed from power, the world will remember how the UK government behaved.
Apparently Brexit was about UK sovereignty but it looks more like cosying up with maniacs like Trump and Erdogan. She'll be on her knees to Mugabe on her begging bowl world tour next. It's embarrassing and she's probably already promised the Americans access to strip our NHS bare. She's out of her depth and nowhere near as smart or savvy as she thinks she is. The UK has been humiliated but has still much further to fall once Theresa Mayhem pushes the button in A50 on March. Jesus must pull the biggest when she calls herself Christian.
now she is stuck: she can't go back on EU stance and she can't displease Trump. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes right now
While I hate her personal tendencies towards a Big Brother-like totalitarian state (look at her previously favored policies if you don't believe me), I do agree with the above.
She is a Remainer (as am I) who's been assigned the unenviable job of helping us Leave. She's not confident enough to say 'People, you have had your say but you are stupid; I refuse to press the Brexit button', and so she is desperately casting around for viable trade relationships that will (or may) sustain us after we leave properly. America is a giant hanging fruit, even if it does smell a bit rank - it makes sense that she'd be feverishly courting Trump. Erdogan is a bit more surprising though.
She'd be panned if she rejected the Referendum, and she's being panned for following it. I personally think rejecting it would be the lesser of two evils down the line, but that's my opinion and sadly not one she seems to share.
Interesting times 
Glass ceiling
I, and a number of others on here, thought that the minute we heard that it was two women in the 'final' to be pm
They had better not fuck up the NHS i dont know what i will do but they had better not fuck it up
The NHS is already fucked!
"[Some] People, you have had your say but you are stupid; I refuse to press the Brexit button" 
Still an available option!

I think that for once we probably can make Prince Charles useful.
Let's hope he annoys Trump way too much on his visit. When US shows her the middle finger, May might be pushed enough to stop Brexit and put more money into Brexit.
Otherwise we are mighty fucked because we have not got much to sell to a country like US and someone will have to become the scapegoat for the failure of Brexit.
