Qualquer comentarista político com uma onça de sentido relutará em dar uma garantia categórica sobre como os resultados das eleições locais serão exibidos hoje (quinta -feira). menos. O fiasco de Windrush foi rapidamente seguido por notícias de (outro) atraso nas negociações do Brexit, com o bizarramente crachado 'Gabinete de Guerra' não apoiando o primeiro -ministro e sua abordagem da União Aduaneira. Qual é o sentido de estar no cargo, mas não no comando? Por que uma mulher que pensa claramente que a retirada da UKS da União Europeia é, na melhor das hipóteses, mal aconselhada, agarrada às chaves da rua número dez Downing? objetivo. Quanto tempo ela pode encobrir sua incompetência no local onde Javid está operando agora? E quão interessado Sajid estará em "fazer um âmbar" e agir como um escudo para maio?
Trump, Brexit, and a Corbyn surge at the General Election last year, have made political predictions challenging to say the least.
However, and you will know if this is right or wrong as you read this blog, my guess is that last night the Tories suffered some fairly serious defeats, losing a number of council’s and councillors.
It would almost be a travesty if they didn’t, given the shambolic way in which the Conservative government have performed during the past month.
Notwithstanding a poor opposition, the Windrush fiasco has been quickly followed by news of (another) delay in the Brexit negotiations, with the bizarrely badged ‘War Cabinet’ failing to support the Prime Minister and her Customs Union approach.
Theresa May is not so much a lame duck, as a dead duck. What is the point of being in office but not in charge? Why is a woman who clearly thinks that the UKs withdrawal from the European Union is, at best, ill-advised, clinging on to the keys of Number Ten Downing Street?
If she thought she could navigate a smoother transition, a softer Brexit, then surely her failure to get the support of her closest colleagues on the Customs Union issue demonstrates that she will be thwarted in that objective.
Sajid Javid has turned gangster on the PM, showing as much appreciation to her for his promotion to the Home Office as Evertonians show to Sam Allardyce.
How long will she be prepared to take these humiliating defeats? How long can she cover up her incompetence in the place where Javid is now operating? And how keen will Sajid be to ‘do an Amber’ and act as a shield for May?
Meu instinto me diz que ela é uma gonner. Não é se Theresa for agora - é quando. E não aposte contra sua última nomeação de alto perfil para ser o homem que a sucede.
