What a complete shambles.
Do they first have to catch the goat?

Looks like they'll need to setup a video link from the Royal Box at Ascot. Will have to be speeded up a bit to get it in between races though.

Do you serious think this government will last 5 years - there is a better likelihood that there will be an election in five months.

Utter shambles. No deal, no Queen's Speech and absolutely no clue.
Not even the most turkey-like Tory backbenchers (Anna Soubry? Nicky Morgan?) would be voting for Christmas in the face of this sort of polling.
Mrs May will be happy to see this. Got any more?
I swear they're just making these up by throwing darts at a board or something.

Don't worry - I have been defending Corbyn since his first leadership election. I even attempted some level of defence of Diane Abbott. I have a thick skin! There's quite a few people need to develop the same now...
A couple of By-Elections and the DUP turning out to be batshit mental and they won't need to.

Worth noting that they were the only polling company that got the results right, so sounds like it can be trusted and i can only see that gap getting larger and larger.
He said:
But I'm not trying to make myself feel better about anything. Well, nothing beyond drinking too much and sleeping too little this weekend anyway. I don't think he was talking about that though.
When I have used words such as "disastrous" in relation to the Tory campaign and the subsequent election results, and stating that no one with any sanity would suggest otherwise, then it should be very clear that I do not think the Tories have won in any respect whatsoever.
So, answering your question, if people don't bother to read what I have written and then make wild inaccurate assumptions, then I'm not going to waste my time reading what follows. Soz.

3 days in and yes, Labour still lost. Now even they can't agree on which Brexit were getting

Shambles on all sides of this farce.

I don't think so, but Betfair (and group company Paddy Power) are being a bit vague about this. They say that the market will be settled "once the Queen has given her assent to the formation of the first Ministry."
I'm no constitutional expert and I'd never heard this term before so I tried to have a look what this actually means over the weekend.
I know the monarch has to give Royal Assent to bills, but I'm not sure the Queen's Speech is one of those and, additionally, Royal Assent has never not been given.
So, the technical step that has to take place I'm assuming is this:
After a new Prime Minister has been appointed by Her Majesty, the Court Circular will record that "the Prime Minister Kissed Hands on Appointment". This is not literally the case, but in actual fact, the literal kissing of her Majesty’s hands will take place later, in private Council.
...but it doesn't seem to be directly related to the Queen's Speech. I gave up looking when I got to this point.
