I haven't seen or heard any of this morning's round of interviews, but I did watch (some of) the Marr interview from Sunday - which was thought to be a disaster by almost all commentators - and thought she's actually on pretty good form atm, much better than she was during the election. Politicians always blether and avoid answering uncomfortable questions directly, nothing has changed there - what's changed is the questioning. She's had a complete loss of authority, and interviewers who were previously pretty supine are going in with much harder questions, more tenaciously, than they would have previously.

The "Hang the Tories" poster together with the hanged "corpses" doesn't reflect nearly as badly on the Tories as it does on those with the bad taste to erect it.
Haven't they anything better to do with their lives?

OT: Whenever you post this Pickman's model, it always reminds me of a Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle, I think this would make a wonderful Christmas present for the historically inclined.

It is disgusting indeed. Hanging has a terrible success rate if not carried out by a professional- and we have pitifully few of those left. a head shot and being fed to the pigs is a greener and more efficient solution

This is a novel solution to the current dearth of available lime pits - I like it.
It sure is. Nice to see some Moggie positivity instead of the continual whining, and negativity of those who, in their "defence", have little else to offer.

You are going to have do come up with better bait than that

Not sure the shooting bit is all that green. Why not just feed them to the pigs unshot?

Eddie Mair just now on PM interviewing Amber Rudd.
He's on about how many conservative policies are now being made as a direct reaction to Labour policies, and he asks ''She's copying so many things from Jeremy Corbyn, what's she going to do next, grow a beard and start an allotment?''
''You were sitting next to Boris Johnson, do you think people really want Bernard Manning as prime minister?''
I enjoyed that too.

While we're at it, pigs are not the greenest. It is technically possible to compost human beings alive?

Ruth Davidson's the answer although I'm not sure what the question is ( although it probably involves Boris Johnson ) - the fact she's in the Scottish Parliament & an ardent Remainer are probably minor details at the moment

I reckon May is done. So who's next? Looks to me like the hardest brexit supporter on the ballot gets the job, so it all depends on what happens in the PCP (Leadsom would defo have won if it had gone to the membership last time, hence the fudge to get safe pair of hands lol May in the No. 10) - does anyone have a breakdown of the various factions in the parliamentary party atm? Does the same balance of power that saw May waved through unapposed still hold?

I think it's going to be more complicated than that, because the stakes are so high. I think the grey suits will conspire to offer up a candidate who the Brexiteers can vote for, but who can be relied upon to betray them. Just a hunch, but I think that man is David Davis.

The same David Davis who is, and has been for quite some time, a massive Eurosceptic?

Yes. Like I say, it's only a hunch. But, if it goes to the membership, only a massive Eurosceptic can win, and you won't get away with not offering them one. But, at the same time, a massive Eurosceptic winning would be a disaster. So, how to square that circle?

I hope not, I have £50 on Hammond @ 15/1
I think that's a reasonable bet, but there's a lot of noise that they want someone from the 2010/15 intake today
