Even if it was a labour policy, she had 6 years as home secretary and 3 as PM to put it right.
Her response "deport first, hear appeals later"
Can you name one positive achievement of her premiership, just one?
May's deport first appeal later was shot down by the COHR, although many would agree with her.
Kevin Kiaire, from Kenya, and Courtney Byndloss, from Jamaica, had been granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK. Both have longstanding family ties in Britain.
Logistical barriers They received 24 months and three years in jail respectively after being convicted of unrelated drugs offences.
In October 2014, the then-Home Secretary Theresa May made orders for their deportation to their home countries and rejected their claims that deportation would breach their right to a private and family life.
Mrs May then said that the men's appeals could only be brought after they had returned to Kenya and Jamaica.
Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights - the right to family and private life - requires that an appeal system against deportation has to be effective.
The Supreme Court ruled that deporting the men before appeal breaches their human rights as it is likely to significantly weaken their case.
It ruled:
The men and their lawyers would face difficulties in giving and receiving instructions before and during an appeal hearing A factor in an effective appeal is the ability of the applicant to give live evidence on their family ties in the UK and whether they are a reformed character Evidence via video link may suffice but the financial and logistical barriers to giving evidence that way from abroad are insurmountable The court ruled that the home secretary had failed to establish that the 'deport first, appeal later' rule struck a fair balance between the rights of the men and the interests of the community.
After the most incompetent performance by any pm over the last 100 years, can someone explain why they always blame Corbyn ?. Laughable.

Actually, I'll make an exception, and it was quite a surprise to me. Saw David Mellor on BBC news this morning and he was witty, charming, erudite, insightful, intelligent and about a million miles removed from the current crop of Tory tvvats. I was gobsmacked.

Mellor is comfortable on a TV studio though isn't he? What a fecking disaster he was when he had his chance to be taken seriously. Chelsea!!

Even Michael heseltine sounded good what a great bunch of politicians they were compared to this bunch of losers no I didn't like them at the time ...but they've certainly got what it takes to run the country.

A bit harsh, Dicky. What's he ever done to offend you?
Or are you referring to me?
I wasn't refering to you Pegs ! Just don't like Mellor. His like think they are very important and should be looked up to. Yet they are far from role models.
Superb piece by Stephen Bush of the New Statesman -
Theresa May will stand down as leader of the Conservative party on 7 June, triggering a leadership election, the exact length of one which has yet to be decided. She leaves behind one hell of a mess.
She bowed out with the rampant shamelessness that has typified her public statements: talked about compromise “not being a dirty word” in the exact same square foot where she tried to whip up an angry mob against Parliament not two months ago. She talked about making sure Grenfell doesn't happen again, having taken two years to do anything to get the same cladding removed from private tower blocks.
It makes her the second Conservative Prime Minister to resign from office since the Brexit vote of 23 June and it feels like a big bet to think that her replacement will be any more likely to resolve the deadlock than she was.
Yes, she inherited a huge public policy challenge from David Cameron. But an In-Out referendum had been the settled will of much of the Conservative party for decades and the first majority since 1992 was always going to yield a vote on our EU membership.
What wasn't inevitable was that the politician who followed him would inject an industrial quality of vitriol and hatred by trying to use Brexit as a cudgel to reorient British politics and failing spectacularly. It wasn't inevitable to create a weird-half department in Dexeu that has, as predicted by almost every serious Whitehall watcher, created more confusion in government than it has solved. It wasn't inevitable a quarter of the country would regard any form of negotiated Brexit as a betrayal - no deal is better than a bad deal, the most harmful soundbite in British politics, was produced, repeated and endorsed by her.
She inherited a parliamentary majority with three years left to run and a comfortable opinion poll lead. She passes on a deadlocked parliament and no obvious route to an overall Conservative victory. She was bequeathed a country with a large majority for a negotiated Brexit - she passes on a nation where no outcome, be it no Brexit, no deal or a negotiated exit, can reliably command the support of more than third of the country as a desirable end state.
Nonetheless there will be upwards of 15 candidates to inherit the disaster, which says something about human optimism if nothing else.
I’ll make an exception for Ken Clarke who continues to talk sense about many things.
Dominic Grieve has been heroic during this Brexit lunacy. His trashing of Boris on Newsnight this week was magnificent while remaining subtle and understated. I bet he was a fûcking lethal QC...
Never thought I’d say this but take a bow Hezza, YJB!

It says a lot about the current state of the Labour Party that we are having to turn to members of Thatcher's cohorts to find our modern day heroes.
May was an extraordinary c*nt. Hateful, incompetent and as thick as a slab of spam. Good facking riddance.
And yet...she was clearly the best choice in 2016 amongst those crawling out of the woodwork again now. That’s how bad it has got. And then...Corbyn. F*cking hell.
I loved the comment yesterday about Leadsom. Lucky to be only the second stupidest Andrea in the country because of Jenkyns.

What is truly staggering and appalling is that if by some chance Ken Clarke stood for leader and made it to the last two against Raab, johnson or Leadsom, the Tory members would overwhelmingly vote for the incompetent liar over Clarke.

Wouldn't you Bluey?
The candidates (or at least some of them) are now going out of their way to be as hard Brexit as possible now. Johnson, Raab and Mcvey have all said that as leader we’ll be leaving the EU on 31 October, deal or no deal. None of them seem to have twigged that parliament won’t allow no deal. It’ll play well to the octogenarian Tory base though.

Anything they say will be voted down by Parliament it seems but for them to truly believe that they could get No Deal through is the true definition of delusion.
