Astonishing blunder by Leadsom. It takes a lot to make people sympathise with Theresa May, but I think Leadsom has just managed to achieve that.
Can't understand why she's denying it: if she wasn't trying to make the children issue about May, then why even mention her name? Cheap shot.

She probably never saw it coming.

Looking forward to a woman Prime Minister, the last one was superb

Think you'll find this one will be in a different league....... somewhere around the Ryman Premier at best.
Sadly as there will still be no electable opposition by 2020 we are going to have to endure them for another 9 years (unless there's another palace coup)
Ryman Premier? That high. I'd personally have said Ryman Div 1 South with Leadsom.
Whereas May was part of the remain campaign.
Probably academic now anyway, I thought Theresa May would be PM before the EU referendum vote was even in. Leadsom probably thought the same as I'm sure Murdoch was making all the right noises about how the Times , Sun etc would be backing her right up to the point where they stuck the knife in and hung her out to dry. A bit naive granted to do that interview but she probably thought she was amongst friends, allies, not assassins. Sounds a bit dramatic i know but give me some poetic license on this one.
If one thing is constant in politics it's don't trust a politician, May was in the Remain camp but reluctantly, all the sound bites are she was a leaver. Boris was a leaver but mainly so he could oppose Cameron, all his leanings were towards Remain, go figure.

If May and the people around her do as good a job in negotiating our Brexit as they have done in positioning her to become the next PM we will get a pretty good deal.
More likely they will probably put some Brexiteer front and centre to oversee negotiations ... to catch the flack when compromises/concessions are needed.

It's a sad state of affairs when Theresa May is the person I'd prefer to be next PM.

Why Leadsom is the perfect PM for the new "fact free" politics:

Fair play to the Brexiters. They told us we could look away from Europe and work closer with the rest of the world and already we look to be entering into a political pact with Alaska.

Does anyone on here think Andrea could do a good job? If so why, don't seem to be many takers even from the Brexit camp
but prepared to accept and get on with Brexit and is sensible enough to not make any categorical promises or assurances prior to Article 50 negotiations.
Sure she could do a good job (not sure what as), but not as a politician and certainly not as PM!
There is a hell of lot wrong with Leadsom. Zero experience to start with and her massive gaff with regarding to boasting about having children puts her into a better position to be PM. There are serious questions about her CV and what she actually did in the roles listed and her links to a charity that seems to be run by other members of her family.
