Theresa May - New British Prime Minister

From Wednesday, July 14th 2016, Theresa May will be the new British Prime Minister after a very fast Leadership Campaign in the Conservative Party.

Both David Cameron and Theresa May had publicly stated their decision to implement what the British Electorate decided on June 23rd, 2016 on a UK Referendum on EU Membership.

Given public statements made by EU leaders regarding the need to kick start the application of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, there are no longer reasons to delay the implementation of the said process of withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

This is why it is of paramount importance to launch an information campaign so that both British Citizens and EU Citizens are made aware of their rights and in particular of Rights of Residence in the United Kingdom and in the European Union.

We have met a Member of Parliament and delivered a signed letter stating that it is extremely important that the British Public knows about the rights of EU Citizens in the United Kingdom and that EU Citizens themselves know about their rights in the United Kingdom as a way to allay fears and counter bullying and harassment.

We have studied present legislation in the United Kingdom with regards to immigration and have concluded that the best way to protect the rights of both United Kingdom Citizens and European Union Citizens is to proceed with absolute fairness and clarity as part of a process characterised by goodwill that will benefit all.

 

In Barking and Dagenham Labour supported Brexit

Since 2010, Barking and Dagenham has been controlled by the Labour Party that won 51 out 51 seats in the Council. In Margaret Hodge has represented Barking while John Cruddas represented Dagenham. So, they have a virtual monopoly.

But in the UK Referendum on EU Membership, Labour voters supported Brexit. 62.4% of those registered to voted supported Brexit.

For Margaret Oppenheimer to blame Jeremy Corbyn for the outcome of the Referendum is a absolutely ridiculous. She could have convinced her own supporters. John Cruddas could have convinced his own supporters. Neither of them had the trust of Labour voters in this matter.

Angela Eagle has been hesitant in her expected role of challenger. The rebels don't want a Leadership Election and - what is more - Angela Eagle's own constituents are threatening to deselect her as their Member of Parliament. As if this wasn't enough, Labour voters across the country - including her own supporters, voted for Brexit.

Let's look at Angela Eagle's record of voting in the House of Commons regarding the UK Referendum on EU Membership:

• February 1st 2011 - Angela Eagle absent for a vote on European Union Bill
• October 24th 2011 - Angela Eagle voted against a Referendum on UK Membership of the European union.
• July 5th 2013 - Angela Eagle was absent for a vote on European Union Bill
• October 17th, 2014 - Angela Eagle absent for a vote on European Union Bill
• June 9th, 2015 - Angela Eagle voted for a Referendum on UK Membership of the European Union
• September 7th, 2015 - Angela Eagle was absent for a vote on European Union Referendum Bill.

These are statements of facts. Information that is on record.

First Round of Conservative Party Leadership Election

In the First Round of the Conservative Party Leadership Election, Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom are the two candidates with more votes in the PCP.

More rounds will follow until there are two candidates standing.

The two candidates standing will take part in another ballot in which Conservative Party members will vote to chose the next leader.

In the Labour Party, Angela Eagle was reportedly the challenger to stand in a Leadership Election. Possibly I stand, Maybe I stand, Perhaps I stand and Eventually I might stand are some of the slogans that would be used by Angela Eagle even, if or possibly she stands to challenge Jeremy Corbyn.

I wonder if Labour Party members have reasons to worry about such hesitant potential new Labour Party Leader.
