She can pretend it didn't happen all she likes - but we saw. It was on the telly and everything.

She demanded an election she'd said she wouldn't call, to gain a mandate to pursue something she'd previously opposed, and then blew it.

Yes, they may have most seats but, T. May is now a lame duck, all credibility gone and if her plan was to strengthen her bargaining position with the EU, it has backfired spectacularly.
The movers and shakers in the EU are laughing at her as well as the UK and with the disruption of another election, right in the middle of EU negotiations, who know's where we will end up.
If it wasn't such a shambles and important to all of our futures, it would be utterly hilarious.
If they make another 5 years, without another election, I'll show my on Huddersfield town hall steps.

Loving your understatement at the end of your post.

Just about sums it up. I note that several of the eu countries are now emerging from recession, whilst our economy is slowing down. Not the strongest position for us to start brexit negotiations. Should imagine we will witness several moths of Tory infighting, accompanied by a barrage of labour taunts.

And an election and all whilst the Brexit clock is ticking.

Her and Cameron will certainly be remembered, for screwing the country over.

Compared to Blurgh and Brown they've been brilliant, wonder what Cardigan Corby will have on tomorrow, what a dynamic individual he is.

Apart from the Iraq war, Blair presided over the country in one of its most prosperous periods, so how you can say they are better than him is beyond belief.

Well, Cameron was so certain that we would remain in Europe that, he agreed to a referendum and lost.
May was so certain that she would win a landslide victory that, despite saying several times "There will be no snap election", she went to the country so that they could approve her Brexit plans, oh yeah, and she was found severely wanting.
How she has the audacity to stay on, is beyond me.
Any decent person would resign. Mind you she's clearly deluded and not exactly trustworthy.
How do you know when T.May is telling lies, yes, she opens her mouth.
