JC calling for TMs resignation

[AngeloMysterioso]

story in The Independent

So Jeremy Corbyn is saying Theresa May should resign as whilst Home Sec she cut 20,000 officers from the police service.

AIBU to think he's got a bloody good point, and it's all very well her pontificating now, saying he's the one not tough enough etc and trying to score points against him, when it could be argued that her actions have made what would already be an awful situation considerably worse??

She shouldnt be given the option to resign. She shouldve been fired.

Do your thing on thursday and we, the people, can fire her

He does have a very good point.

I'm in a safe Tory seat, Iain Duncan bastard Smith has been our MP for 20 years, so sadly my vote won't be worth the paper it's written on

Maybe we should listen to Keir Starmer who has said that the fault lies with the terrorists on this occassion and on every occassion.

Oh well if At Jezza says so ...

So excited that a nearby seat to me is no longer predicted to be lost to the tories. I really really hope they sorted the polling glitches and this surge to labour is real.

I havent participated in any of the political threads at all this election. However I will bite on this one.

Yes Theresa May has made alot of mistake whilst she was home Secretary and she is continuing to make mistakes however she has only been prime minister for less than a year and during this time she has had to be focussed on brexit even though she was a remainer so at the moment she is trying to make the best of a bad situation.

I know on mumsnet it is labor or nothing are we all forgetting the 100s of mistakes that labor have made whilst in power? The Tories inherited all of a labor governments problems and we then had a coalition government who weren't focussed on the job at all.

Jeremy Cornyn needs to remember all the mistakes that he has made in his time as a member of parliament and from all the campaigning and debates I have seen his entire defence is avoid all questions and poke holes at the Tories manifesto.

I say all of this as neither a Tory or labor voter.

I heard it as:
journo - do you support calls for TM to resign?
JC - yes
Which is subtly different and what else could he say?

Jezbollah, who adores flirting with terrorists, tries to take the moral high ground as usual.

It seems he is backtracking a little. His team have clarified when questioned on it that

'Jeremy is saying that he believes the public will judge her on her record'

I have just heard this on the news at one. He didn't "call" for her to resign, he was asked a question and responded. There won't be a change of PM within the next couple of days so this is a non-starter and is just the media stirring things up.

I will be voting Labour on Thursday, to support my MP and indirectly Jeremy Corbyn.

It's all swings and roundabouts really , isn't it?

Of course he is. It's that time in the campaign.

If he'd done the decent thing and followed his own advice then the Labour could be a real party instead of the bad joke they currently are.

Roll on the GE when this ignorant excuse for a man will fuck the fuck off. Hopefully, so will these tedious threads.

as opposed to TM shaking hands with the Saudi's a few months ago?

My sympathies OP. If Ian Bastard Duncan Smith was my MP - and had been for 20 years - I think I'd probably start every day with gin and tramadol.

How odd. I manage to get through the day without noticing who my MP is.

True - the terrorists did this appalling act.

But there are questions that need to be asked about the level of funding?

Pretty sick to use the recent tragic events to throw cheap shots at the PM. Particularly when you've been kissing terrorists arses for decades...

Particularly when you've been kissing terrorists arses for decades...

And the Prime Sinister hasn't?

Particularly when you've been kissing terrorists arses for decades...

please please can someone reply to me and tell me what they think about TM shaking hands with the Saudi's??

or is it easier just to ignore that??

It is shit stirring and trick questions by the media.

A resignation by the Prime Minister at this stage before the General Election just isn't going to happen. I'm surprised he didn't rebuff the question and rise above it, saying something like waiting to see what the verdict of the voters turns out to be.

What do you think other politicians and the media are doing? Using recent events to target Corbyn.

Has Theresa May not got any questions to answer?
Or has she done a good job as Home Secretary and as PM?

If you listen to the clip here (only 30 secs) he says

'well, look, we have an election on Thursday, and that's perhaps the best time to change things'

It's called electioneering

David Cameron's ex adviser started it off. JC has merely said he agrees. That is not actually the same as calling for her to resign.

Quite frankly, as neither a Tory nor Labour voter, I found TM unbelievable yesterday saying "enough was enough". It was enough after 7/7. It was enough after Westminster. It was enough after Manchester.

Who cut the Police numbers while home secretary? TM. Now, that doesn't mean it would have STOPPED all of these atrocities. But the point is you do as much as you can to prevent them. On her watch, prevention was significantly reduced and she's told outright lies about it.
