No look over here

So in order to deflect from her terrible record on security as Prime Minister and Home Secretary, May has thrown the dead cat of leaving the ECHR on the table.

Moving on

Theresa May was in Edinburgh today (briefly). As normal the visit was set up in secret; the Glorious Leader can’t possibly interact with people she might catch something –  like public opinion.

Enough IS enough

For the past seven years Theresa May has been either Home Secretary or Prime Minister. Not that you would guess from her words today, full speech here.

I’ve pulled out a few lines amongst the sound bites that caught my attention.

There’s no Plan(et) B

Trump has pulled out of the Paris Accord, which is is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to deal with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance. It aims to keep global temperatures “well below” the level of 2C above pre-industrial times and “endeavour to limit” them even more, to 1.5C.

Not so special relationship

The problem when you rely on a narcissistic man-child to save you from a disastrous political undertaking is that he is about as reliable as any other toddler.

Maybe-ism

Started this last week and as I don’t feel up to talking about the last 24 hours I thought I’d get it finished.

What a week

It’s been a busy week, the sun has been shining and I have been spending as much time as possible in the garden – it’s done my inner calm no end of good. However…

Where?

Today Theresa May came to support her supposedly resurgent party in Scotland. So where did she hold court? Edinburgh? Glasgow? Dundee?

The Scarlet Pimpernel

It turns out that Anagallis arvensis also has a rare blue form azurea. You probably still stand a better chance of finding this tiny flower than you have of interacting with Theresa May over this election period.

Wow, just wow

 

Initial reaction: Dear god, another election. (I hope you appreciate I didn’t go for a title of “Now is not the time”)
