Priti Patel's lack of precision or in other words lying.

Yes I am finding it increasingly frustrating that news organisations (not solely the Beeb) are finding it difficult to use the word 'liar' in this instance.

Lack of precision applies to situations like when I was fixing a fence panel yesterday and I was told there were 10 screws ready to be used when in fact there were only 9. That's a lack of precision you fucking numpties.

Saying that somebody was aware of a situation when you hadn't actually told them about the situation makes you a liar.

We cant have people acting like alternative prime ministers. This is a constitutional crisis. Patel pulled off what the whole of fucking Catalonia failed to. Independence!

Allegations now that May knew full well. So looks like someone is trying to discredit the Prime Minister.
I think now is shit or bust time for the ambitions of Johnson and the Brexiting right.
Nearly Sane is right May or Patel.

But to do it to specifically help a rogue minister?

If anything like this is true, May needs to resign now. She was a lame duck, this moves her to cooked goose

I was going to say shambolic about the government, but that is an insult to shambles.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #41 on:** November 08, 2017, 07:19:03 PM »

She has 'resigned'. Question is still did May know?

A Christmas election. Now that would put Theresa May into the history books!

Whilst everything is very chaotic at present, if there was a general election before Christmas, and Labour got in, could Corbyn do any better? Somehow I doubt it, he doesn't have the support of all Labour party MPs, anymore that May has the support of all Tory MPs.
