Paul I think we should have a private enquiry about your comment. Behind closed doors of course and chaired by a retired Judge that votes tory. Any lessons learnt from the result of the enquiry will be taken onboard to make sure that your comment is better addressed in future.
She might just as well have said “blah blah blah...” in answer to every question - She is totally removed and out of touch with reality. Let’s hope we get another general election soon... October 2017 seems like a good month for it :)
Would be good if someone did a 30s cut of this showing the times she wasn’t lying and answering questions... well 30s might be a push, call me an optimist.
She doesn't need to apologies for anyone, because she haven't done anything wrong. Actually she proved that she is doing the best she can not for the party but for the country and this what Conservatives party supposed to be and she demonstrated it.
She had an opportunity to present herself as a straightforward, normal human being. Instead, she once again goes for the evasive, secretive, babbling approach, which is the source of her unpopularity.
anicetune stayed true to who she is, in other words, unlike these convictionless labour MPs who will say everything they think you want to hear. seems to me tgat some people in the country are sick of hard truths and would rather have corbyn and Macdonald blow smoke up their ass.
Very poor! She has a pre-prepared script and she is only trying to get those points across. She can't answer the questions and is completely out of touch with reality. Time for her to go!
4:14 how was tripling student fees supposed to lower them? What research was that decision based on? Tuition fees were tripled in 2012. It's 2017 now. For what reason has she continued to support the raising of tuition fees? Tories seem to live in an alternate reality.
5:20 the Labour Party only made one promise to students which was to abolish student fees and return to the system we've had for decades until 2004 that didn't put individuals into decades of debt. It's in the Labour Party manifesto and the NME interview with Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party. It's pathetic of May to have to resort to lying in order to find criticism in her opponent.
14:35 Theresa May was more outraged by Big Ben going under repair than about millions of households, some with vulnerable dependants such children, the disabled, the elderly, being unable to afford their rent or food for six weeks. Who are these "most people" that she's referring to that say this is apparently a "good system"?
I'm reminded of some doddering old dear doing a bit of part time work in a charity shop and succeeding only in getting in the way of the staff doing a proper job.
"Is it a mistake to ever allow people to vote?" @26:07 then why not let the Scottish people the right to vote instead of saying "now is not the time". What a double speaking woman, me thinks she has a split tongue like a serpent when she speaks.
This woman inspires nothing. Hungarian President Victor Orban is an example of a leader who is fearlessly dedicated to his nation and his people. Theresa May has failed on all her major responsibilities as H.Sec & PM. How much failure is acceptable?
" I have recognised", "We have recognised" , she overuses the term recognize, like some how that is going to fix the problems that are infront of her. If i was a tory voter i would be demanding a new front bench.
Being able to keep £360 of money you've earned (before taxes) doesn't sound like much when you compare it to the amount millionaire MPs claim in expenses paid for by taxes. It's mind boggling how education is the controversial matter in all this.
Regarding housing, why does she think it's acceptable to rent out houses that are not suitable for human habitation? She voted against Labour's Housing Policy which would have forced landlords to make sure their properties are safe to live before renting then out which meant no exposed wiring, no mould, no infestations, access to clean water, working energy supplies etc.
Labour took a lot more seats. Including your majority. Labour even won seats in the few places only YOU visited May. That's how off-putting meeting you in real life was. Perhaps locking up journalists, vetting questions, using sound bites as answers and running scared of your opponent are signs of someone that isn't leadership material for either the country or your own party May.
What about all of those poor, vulnerable disabled people, kicked off of their benefits and they died. Let us see those statistics the next time she says 3 million people back in work. Furthermore, 9 weeks without ANY money? Are you serious? Theresa May I am calling you out over this and I ask you how would you personally cope if you had YOUR money stopped for NINE WEEKS?
Between Cameron hollowing out the public services, promising the Brexit referendum, and now May's continued policy of cuts and floundering hopelessly on the Brexit negotiations, the current landscape of Britain with its strikes and unaffordable cost of living is bleak at best. Can't imagine what things'll look like post-Brexit.
Theresa May is one of the reasons why many people would think women might not be suited for higher posts in politics. She looks timid, dithering, and weak. She couldn't decide where she stood on Brexit - the biggest issue of modern day UK politics.
"A balanced approach to the economy" would mean socialism and capitalism alongside each other which is what the Labour Party manifesto promotes. May just gave a speech saying capitalism is the best thing to have happened to the world - when we have record numbers of people being forced to turn to food banks (including those in full time employment), record numbers of children living in poverty EVEN AFTER THE TORIES NARROWED THE DEFINITION OF POVERTY, record numbers of homeless people including families. What does May decide to do? Hand out free money to already wealthy people to buy up more houses while social house building come essentially come to a standstill. There's no money for the NHS, for schools, for public sector workers so I've got to ask, where's the magic money tree?
strong and stable .... works for everyone .... thats all i heard in 28 or so minutes jeez!! no wonder brexit isnt happening ... or anything else in that matter
When U-turns are always mentioned, I would just say, "we are listening to the people, and realise we got it wrong" instead of just appearing to dodge questions. I'm sure that would come across far better to the general public.
Classic 'divide and rule' from the tories in regards to tuition fees. Trying to turn those who dont go to university against those who do!! This shows a clear distinction between the individualistic (get what you can for yourself) style of government under the tories and the more inclusive politics of labour, which recognises we create a better society for all when everyone has free access to a university education!
Marr: If we get no deal, what happens immediately after that? May: I recognise this and government is working on getting a good deal. Basically, she has no idea.
Jesus Cameron was bad but at least he could tell lies properly. She panics and points at Labour or Corbyn instead of answering questions. This is embarrasing to watch.
People can't afford to eat PM... as I've said I'm looking into it. Clearly you have never had to worry where the next meal or bill come from Mrs May. So far removed from our reality.
Here is a far from exhaustive list of examples of the systematic abuse of disabled people that has been going on since 2010 when the Tories were elected: The government's own figures admit that thousands of disabled people have died within six weeks of being declared "fit for work" and stripped of their disability benefits by the Work Capacity Assessment (WCA) regime. The WCA regime was declared unlawful for the way it discriminates against people with mental health conditions, but the Tory government carried on regardless. Appeals against botched WCA rulings have been costing £50 million a year. This cost is paid for by the taxpayer, not the profiteering corporations that made the botched assessments in the first place. The WCA disability denial regime costs way more in corporate outsourcing contracts to administer than it will ever save in reduced disability benefit payments, meaning the Tories are forcing the taxpayer to subsidise their systematic abuse of disabled people. An incredible 420,000 disabled people were hit by the Tory "Bedroom Tax", many of them for "spare" rooms used for medical equipment, or for carers to sleep in. The financial stress caused Stephanie Bottrill to commit suicide leaving a note blaming David Cameron and the Tory government. Tens of thousands of disabled people were forced onto the Tories' shambolic Work Programme, but the outsourcing companies running this scheme knew they could never make a profit from helping "difficult to place" clients, so disabled people were just "parked" while the corporate parasites focused on cashing in on easy to place clients. Just 8% of disabled people to be put through the Work Programme end up finding jobs! A United Nations investigation into the treatment of disabled people in the UK found that the UK government was committing "grave and systematic violations" of disabled people's rights. In March 2016 309 Tory MPs voted to cut the Employment and Support Allowance by £1,500 per year. Not a single politician from any other party voted in favour of these cuts. As a result of this brazen economic assault on disabled people, several Tory MPs were sacked as patrons of disability charities. The Tory party claimed to be scrapping the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and replacing it with Personal Independence Payments (PIP) in order to make sure the money went to the right people, but in April 2017 they slashed PIP payments by 33% using the perverse excuse that this would incentivise them to find work (despite there being no evidence whatever to back up this claim). Disabled people undergoing PIP assessments have routinely been asked "why haven't you killed yourself yet?" by their assessors. An incredible 65% of PIP decisions that go to appeal are overturned, yet the profiteering outsourcing corporations making these botched assessments (Atos and Capita) just had their contracts extended by two years by a no-bid process! The Tory party constantly claim that their disability cuts and are trying to get disabled people into work, but they deliberately laid off 1,500 disabled people by shutting down Remploy factories, many of whom are still out of work years later. Despite constantly going on about the importance of helping people with mental illnesses, the Tories have been doing precisely to opposite; slashing funding for mental health services and actively instructing it's corporate army of disability assessors to discriminate against people with mental health conditions. The Tory government are confiscating an astounding 900 adapted motability vehicles from disabled people per week. In one case they confiscated the motability vehicle to save £6,000 and then agreed to pay £65,000 in taxi fares so that the disabled person could continue going to work! As I said at the beginning, this is a far from exhaustive list of examples of the systematic Tory abuse of disabled people. Are you honestly going to endorse this? If you vote Tory, you endorse the continuation of this disgusting Tory agenda of abusing and impoverishing disabled people.
If you earn more from going to university, wouldn't you pay a higher tax anyway? Why is May implying people who earn more don't contribute much financially? Is it because she wants to prevent the working class from rising above their station? Or is it because people who earn more money will end up squirrelling all that wealth away in tax havens like Amber Rudd?
Spring slogan: "Strong and Stable". Autumn slogan: "A government that works for everyone". If in doubt, or to deflect an awkward question, just repeat the slogan.
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
How does 'Help To Buy' help those that struggle to even afford private sector rents? Or those relying on food banks because their wages are so low? Or those already homeless?
The railways in South Korea are nationalised and a thousand times cheaper and better. There is accountability for the railways if they are crap when they are nationalised but not under profitmaking privatisation. If they are crap I just don't need to vote for the crap government.
Then why are they the most expensive or close to the most expensive in the world? In addition, nobody is held responsible when prices do go up unless everybody boycott using them but that is not going to happen as everybody needs to get to work and for most, there are no alternatives, no competition. Companies are in business for profit, profit and more profit not to help people. If they are able to put up prices because of no competition they will not hold back. The problem in the UK is for so long the political parties are so corrupt that the electorate is forced to choose between bad egg number 1 or bad egg number 2 they're both bad it's almost not worth voting for either. Whichever one gets in to power, one thing is for sure it's going to get worse, but people believe the propaganda that they get to choose.
Marr is OK. I used to dislike him but my impression has changed somewhat. I know some consider him to be anti-Corbyn. He does indeed give Corbyn a much harder time than he gives May. I think this is devil's advocacy. He know's Corbyn is robust and can present a strong case for himself and his party. If he hammered May that hard for a full interview she'd be reduced to tears. For which no one would have any sympathy whatsoever. It's not just the pound that's dying on her watch. It's people. In their thousands.
She says a lot without actually saying anything, a complete waste of viewers time
that requires an applause son ... that's some good bush beating if i ever so one ....
Paul I think we should have a private enquiry about your comment. Behind closed doors of course and chaired by a retired Judge that votes tory. Any lessons learnt from the result of the enquiry will be taken onboard to make sure that your comment is better addressed in future.
Heartless Woman!!!
I hope she crashes and burns along with her vile party, preferably soon. Bring on the opposition..surely they can't do a worse job?
How can someone talk so much and say so little.
She might just as well have said “blah blah blah...” in answer to every question - She is totally removed and out of touch with reality. Let’s hope we get another general election soon... October 2017 seems like a good month for it :)
The Happy Travellers so she can win again? Of course!
She speaking at the same speed as Vicky Pollard and saying about as much.
Would be good if someone did a 30s cut of this showing the times she wasn’t lying and answering questions... well 30s might be a push, call me an optimist.
So David Cameron should to be premier ministre untill now to résolve his personal problèms?
Yeah, wasn't she only a kind of intermezzo PM for half a year? Sorry in case it has all been pictured too clearly. I'm from the continent.
She's only interested in one thing - keeping herself in a job
Martin Heath like the rest of the population
Yet still she is so withdrawn from the rest of us
+Boris Barnett and at the expense of the whole country if necessary
Wise.
But the people elected her..it's the will of the people..the people have spoken!!!
STOP HATING ON THERESA. SHES ALRIGHT.
She doesn't need to apologies for anyone, because she haven't done anything wrong. Actually she proved that she is doing the best she can not for the party but for the country and this what Conservatives party supposed to be and she demonstrated it.
Weak and wobbly
Thick and throbbing
xDD
She's all talk and no action. She can't answer Marr's questions directly, she's waffling on but saying nothing. Time for the Maybot to go.
Not one question actually answered. Typical Tory.
Lewis Thompson Are you a remainer Lewis?
No, I voted leave. Wouldn't trust the Tories to negotiate anything let alone our future.
Lewis Thompson I would have more hope in Mogg. Sadly Ukip is an a difficult spot.
I'd have more trust in Corbyn. Mogg is an insufferable human. Ukip are a party of closet racists and thugs.
+Dark Ages Return
I also support Mogg for PM. Fuck corbyn, Fuck may.
She had an opportunity to present herself as a straightforward, normal human being. Instead, she once again goes for the evasive, secretive, babbling approach, which is the source of her unpopularity.

Very poor! She has a pre-prepared script and she is only trying to get those points across. She can't answer the questions and is completely out of touch with reality. Time for her to go!
Time for the Tory Party to go as well.
28 minutes and she didn't answer a single question with a straight answer!
No you shouldn't be sorry to them you're doing a hard job see if they can do better.and don't ever apologise twice.
I've just watched her give a 30 minute interview and I have not gained one piece of knowledge 😂
I actually feel sorry for her, game over may.
really pleasing to see this comment of yours dated a year ago :ppppppp
sry I don't mean she's still good, she's not but it was a good year!
Excellent interview from Andrew Marr, he really took her to task.
crazytosh pathetic bbc gotcha journalism
4:14 how was tripling student fees supposed to lower them? What research was that decision based on? Tuition fees were tripled in 2012. It's 2017 now. For what reason has she continued to support the raising of tuition fees? Tories seem to live in an alternate reality.

Looks like she was crying all night.
Embarrassing
Does she really think that freezing tuition fees at £9250 is going to make younger voters suddenly start supporting her? Completely mad!
I do not understand myself... She thinks that £9250 is normal for any young person or family
Labour made it clear they would look at student debt but that they could offer no solution yet
loopyvirgo well said
14:35 Theresa May was more outraged by Big Ben going under repair than about millions of households, some with vulnerable dependants such children, the disabled, the elderly, being unable to afford their rent or food for six weeks.

I'm reminded of some doddering old dear doing a bit of part time work in a charity shop and succeeding only in getting in the way of the staff doing a proper job.
She announces £10 billion in handouts for property investors but tells a nurse there's no magic money tree for the NHS.
"Is it a mistake to ever allow people to vote?" @26:07 then why not let the Scottish people the right to vote instead of saying "now is not the time". What a double speaking woman, me thinks she has a split tongue like a serpent when she speaks.
BENEFITS ! Don't make me laugh ! The people who absolutely rely on them have had them taken away by the poxy tory party !
6:54 the threshold from when you're supposed to pay back your loan with added interest was frozen by the Tories. She's just playing catchup.
What a deeply unpleasant person. She seemed intent on trying to score petty points. She looks anything but a Prime Minister. Time to say goodbye.
Car crash interview
Don't normally watch blood sports but Marr' s questioning and May struggling is brutal. Put her on the spot
I love the way politicians make a huge deal about how people will get a few pounds extra and then give themselves THOUSANDS OF POUNDS extra each year.
If this car crash were any bigger we'd be mourning the loss of another Princess.
she constantly says we are looking at it not actually doing anything
This woman inspires nothing. Hungarian President Victor Orban is an example of a leader who is fearlessly dedicated to his nation and his people. Theresa May has failed on all her major responsibilities as H.Sec & PM. How much failure is acceptable?
Desperate!
martin s
The Eu is desperate to survive and it’s doomed
"I'm going to answer your question
...by not actually answering your question."
So is this honestly her reaction to the election? Christ... to quote Theresa May - “Nothing has changed, Nothing has changed!”
Marr has destroyed May. This is called interviewing someone
If I keep talking no one will notice that I am saying fuck all.
" I have recognised", "We have recognised" , she overuses the term recognize, like some how that is going to fix the problems that are infront of her. If i was a tory voter i would be demanding a new front bench.
I will never vote for a conservative party.
You can tell Andrew has had enough of her shit
My goodness - wasn't this awful? I have one brief message for all my Conservative friends: for God's sake DITCH THE WITCH!
Being able to keep £360 of money you've earned (before taxes) doesn't sound like much when you compare it to the amount millionaire MPs claim in expenses paid for by taxes. It's mind boggling how education is the controversial matter in all this.
Despite homelessness being mentioned, not once did May acknowledge its existence of this crisis.
is she living in a parallel UK to the rest of us? this snake can riddle! is her nose gettin longer?
She is not very honest or transparent. Sad to see
I see no soul in her eyes... just death and misery
and vitality and a steely resolve and often a mischievous spark, and the future!
Miss May is too stubborn to answer his real questions.
And too damn arrogant. She takes us all for fools.
Regarding housing, why does she think it's acceptable to rent out houses that are not suitable for human habitation? She voted against Labour's Housing Policy which would have forced landlords to make sure their properties are safe to live before renting then out which meant no exposed wiring, no mould, no infestations, access to clean water, working energy supplies etc.

FreddysNightmare78 She has savings presumably. I would say quite comfortably.
28mins of someone speaking words but not saying a thing.
TORY'S OUT. VOTE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE GOVERNMENT.
She should have pressed her self destruct button after the first question.
If you take away the highest earning 5% or even 3%, how much does that bring average earnings down to for the 95-97%?
Between Cameron hollowing out the public services, promising the Brexit referendum, and now May's continued policy of cuts and floundering hopelessly on the Brexit negotiations, the current landscape of Britain with its strikes and unaffordable cost of living is bleak at best.

Wow - Churchill must be turning in his grave. What a feeble mendacious prime minister she is! Cannot answer one question.
Excellent journalism!
I feel sick...this is my prime minister?
strong and stable .... works for everyone .... thats all i heard in 28 or so minutes jeez!! no wonder brexit isnt happening ... or anything else in that matter
Second class geography degree....tenth class politician
Not a single question answered. Typical
Turns into Anne Widdecome when answering tough questions
How much have student fees risen by since the Tories came into power?
the important thing is to recognise that all Tory policies are proving to be weak and wobbly
When U-turns are always mentioned, I would just say, "we are listening to the people, and realise we got it wrong" instead of just appearing to dodge questions. I'm sure that would come across far better to the general public.

Still no advice or answer or " lets give them an emergency payment straight away as they will have NOTHING for about six weeks or more....😐
Jesus, she still alive think ive seen her ounce since she got into power
Marr: If we get no deal, what happens immediately after that?
May: I recognise this and government is working on getting a good deal.
Basically, she has no idea.
People! When will the UK politics change? Situation in UK doesn't look promising :/
Jesus Cameron was bad but at least he could tell lies properly. She panics and points at Labour or Corbyn instead of answering questions. This is embarrasing to watch.
Where did she find the money for property investors when she told a nurse there's no magic money tree to fund the NHS during the election campaign?
Tried watching ,i cant, terrible wont answer anything.
People can't afford to eat PM... as I've said I'm looking into it. Clearly you have never had to worry where the next meal or bill come from Mrs May. So far removed from our reality.
