Buckingham Palace was apparently furious to learn that Theresa May misled the queen over the status of her deal with the DUP after the election.

Are there any legal implications for this, or is it just a breach of protocol?

Follow-up question - May alleged to have been "in tears" following criticism of her after the election result. Any sympathy?

@Gromit - like it :-)

And Labour misled the youth vote by promising something they then said they hadn't and used that old chestnut semantics and inflection to show that the words they said didn't mean what they said.

Legal implications? Oh you mean kick her out and install comrade Corbyn. Don't think so but I'm not a legal eagle.

No sympathy. She did it with ultimately only herself to blame.

Well as I said early on today, on another thread, if the Cons will mislead the Crown then they will find easy to mislead the public. Its as simple as that.

Oh Gulliver they all mislead. Including but not limited to every MP and PM past present and future.

"Politican lies - shock" - this is not really gonna sell newspapers is it ?

JRM seems pretty straight.

As for the Queen, does she really hold any power at all? Most of this is just playing up to old times and once old jug ears is pushed out there will be no Monarchy anyway.

not as simple as that. he's already 68 and if he lives as long as his mother that's only 25 years hence. meantime to abolish the monarchy would not only involve constitutional change in this country (which no mainstream party UK has yet adopted into its manifesto) but also in the other 16 realms for whom the UK monarch is their head of state. from the practical point of view, the current Prince George is probably the earliest last monarch - assuming there's a will to adopt the republican route.

[youngmafbog]

TRue I suppose.

But I can hope.

May "mislead Queen" over guitar solo in Bohemian Rhapsody.

[hereIam]

I hope the Monarchy goes on and on ....

[Old_Geezer]

They already have done; let the other 16 realms have 'em.

So... a deal was there but for the shouting and prematurely and optimistically assumed made for all intents and purposes, and described as such. Who should care ? No one.
