In reply to the discussion: Thread for anyone to explain why Labour would do better under Owen Smith's leadership. [View all]Denzil_DC
(7,288 posts)2. It's worth pointing out that
this poll is from May's "honeymoon period", with parliament barely having sat long enough after she took the reins to let her reshuffle the cabinet and make her PMQs debut (which was hardly stellar) before she headed off to Switzerland on her hols.
Given that all the informed gossip at the moment is that Brexit (whatever it means) is being kicked further and further into the long grass (last seen bobbing along somewhere later than spring 2017, which would bring about clashes with the German and French elections if it was enacted during that year) as the scope of the challenges and complications and very awkward political timings dawns on those who're supposed to be figuring out how to do it, her standing in the polls may not last long.

OK, we better stop talking then, until you deem the honeymoon period is over.

You're being silly...but would anyone actually object to Branson himself being nationalized?
