Her election campaign last year was one of the worst ever. An utter shambles. Can't blame that on the predecessor.

Seems Corbyn's rise to the heights has hit its ceiling - Labour should have wiped the floor with the Tories given the issues with the NHS, Windrush etc despite all the momentum interference they have been unable to make any real ground in the local elections.

The spin from the Tory owned press this morning has been nothing short of superb! Even the american associated press has picked up on how embarassing it has been

Her predecessor made a severe error of judgement in allowing the EU referendum and then didn't have the sense to let someone else run the campaign.
As for challenging, yes, of course you are right.
However, May's weakness, together with her divided party, particularly on Brexit, is much of her own doing and let's not forget, it was Mays own error of judgement that made the Tory majority disappear and now they are being propped up by the DUP.

I have no sympathy with Mrs "strong and stable" May.

Just like Cameron, she gambled and lost and made the task almost impossible and with Brexit getting closer, it wont be getting easier anytime soon.

Well, yes, life here should be difficult for those here illegally. Makes a bit more sense than making life easy for them.

Windrush is an administrative issue, nothing more, and certainly nothing to do with race. A unique set of events conspiring to land some of those migrants in difficulties. Even most Labour MPs have avoided flashing the race card - but it didn't stop you, did it. I think having two adult children born here is pretty good evidence. Of course it's about race. This is just mumbo jumbo to cover up the fact that the Tories are riddled with racism. All the stuff about Labour's anti Semitism (which may have some substance) is the kettle calling the pan. The entire attack on Millband was subliminal anti Semitism.

Interesting then, that Gretel Gocan was first denied re-entry to the UK in 2010. Have a guess which party was in power for 13 years up to 6th May 2010, and who was therefore responsible for the vast majority of (if not all) immigration rules in 2010?

And "it's about race"? What exactly is "it"? All immigration rules? Just immigration rules affecting non-whites (do such rules even exist)? The Windrush situation? Precisely what is about race?

What mumbo jumbo are you talking about? Me? The Tories? Who/what exactly is covering up this alleged racism?

BTW, the attacks on Milliband were because he was about as useful as boobs on a nun.

Milliband would have been a better PM than either of the last two. Indeed it would be hard to think or worse examples from either party than Cameron or May. But leaving that aside, many of the attacks had an anti-Semite undertone. But the Tories have always played the race card. The "hostile environment" policy was there to appeal to the Tory loony right. You only have to listen to some of them. Philip Davies say. Peter Bone is another. Or there's Daniel Hannan MEP who wants to dismantle the NHS. All in the Powellite tradition. One thing you can guarantee, when election time comes around the Tories will have some trumped up story to stir up its racist supporters.

How sweet. Just a few migrants with a slight bit of inconvenience. They ought to be thankful they are here. May, Rudd & Co actively & deliberately pursued a policy that discriminated against black Britons in the pursuit of numbers.
25 years after Stephen Lawrence institutional racism is still rife in some sectors of the establishment.

Thank you for proving my point in a couple of posts.

Windrush is an administrative cock-up. A conspiracy of events that trapped a some in a no-man's land of citizenship due to lack of appropriate documentation and/or evidence according to current rules. It's no-one's fault. Yes, horrible for those concerned, but it's now being dealt with quickly, effectively and sympathetically. Very few politicians or journalists on either side have played the race card. Except the Guardian. Can always rely on them.

Yet here we are, the usual fruitcakes playing the race card. Steven Lawrence gets a mention! We also get someone trying to pin the antisemitism debate on the Tories. Impressive, even for the loony left.

Perhaps if Labour hadn't fcked up the numbers flooding into this country and created such depth of feeling against mass immigration (enough to drive the Leave vote, remember), subsequent governments wouldn't have to adopt such a strict regime. Fixing such a mess is never going to be pretty and some people will get caught in the vice. That said, it's worth reminding the wailing lefties that the first person to talk of a 'hostile environment' was actually Labour's Alan Johnson.

BTW, Ed Milliband wasn't even the best PM candidate in the Milliband family.

Immigration didn't create a depth of feeling. The fear, lies & hatred of the the right wing press, 19C Tory MPs & Councillors, social media, did. It's been used for hundreds of years. Well apart form the social media bit.

I preferred Steve, especially The Joker.

In a word McClusky who saw Ed as a puppet he could manipulate - how wrong he was and not for the first time
