Hezza's heart problems counted against him iirc. Major was the chancellor, not exactly a 'nobody' within the party!

Agreed, but I meant to the wider public. Everyone knew Heseltine and Hurd. In a game of Pointless, John Major would have been one of the best answers.

If the Conservatives are a joke of a party, what does that make Labour, who are already a laughing stock.

That was pretty much referenced in my original post. Doesn't make the conservatives any less a joke just because their competition has shit the bed too.
 
Wow...:lol:


The fecking lot of them are a waste of space. Shame nothing will get done, half of these soft lying fecks would be hung by their balls in other countries.
 
I wonder if Theresa May would trigger a second referendum

Can't see it. In her speech she was going on about how out is out and the people have spoken with high turnout etc and so she will deliver the will of the people by negotiating the exit if made PM.

I'm with you, she was very clear on that. No chance, unfortunately for us :(

Words are wind especially with this generation of politicians. Also joining the EEA would still translate in leaving the EU
 
May saying she has abandoned plans to abolish the European Convention on Human Rights.

Doesn't mean that I trust her (or that she won't U-turn again), but thats one of my major objections to her right now gone.

With Boris counting himself out, does that change anyone's perception on him? Many of course thought his stance throughout Brexit was created to dislodge Cameron with the ultimate goal of taking his place.

I think it was. It's just he didn't expect Brexit to actually happen.

Do not believe a word she says. Seriously. Just forget she said it.

He took himself out the running because he was going to fail to get enough support from his fellow MPs - Gove leaving, and taking the majority of his key staff and supporters confirmed this. I also agree with MG that he didn't actually expect us to vote 'out', and that obviously makes the job of the next PM exceedingly difficult.

Well she actually said she didn't think it had the support in commons. So more trusting she's politically savvy, than that she grew a conscience.

Oh no, when in a Muslim place of worship she respects their customs.
 
I was in a French cathedral recently (Chartres) and a uniformed geezer kept pointing at my head until I realised he meant 'take your hat off'.
You would be a bit of a twat if you didn't.

I've never understood why wearing a hat in certain places is disrespectful but everywhere else it's cool. What does the hat become when you cross the church threshhold? Don't Bishops and Popes an' shit wear hats?
 
PM - May
Chancellor - Leadsom
Foreign Embarrassment, I mean Secretary - Osborne.
 
Leadsom now seems to be the brexit champion. Never knew who she was till the debates . Seemed to smile a lot and have a very upbeat view of leaving the EU.
 
Never heard of her before today which means I don't hate her yet, for that reason alone, I'd vote for her
 
I think Leadsom is impressive (not sure I'd want to trust her especially much). She's the big Brexit hope now I think. If the Secret ballot helps her make a strong showing early doors, could do well, then she picks up most of the Gove votes maybe. Think Gove's integrity is so badly damaged he could give up now really, for all the chance he has of winning.

I'm not even sure Gove isn't part of the May-Remain plotting to keep all in-house with the MPs. 'Establishment' doesn't want Brexit, it won't want this vote going 'out' to the Conservative members. Gove splits the Leadsom support at the moment = Good for May. Then there is a 'unite the party' (haha) healing process & on we go. Watch out for a quantum shift in Gove's EU view when he (temporarily) gets a nice Cabinet post for as long as it takes the dust to settle on this. 'Where can we put Michael as a reward on condition that.... is there anything reasonably Gove-proof anyone can think of that looks vaguely sensible...

She constantly smiles when she talks like she's patronising you, she reminds me of that dickhead woman in Harry Potter who takes over as headmaster.

She comes from wealth, she gets paid £75k a year and will have a gold plated state pension. She very well may be emotionally buoyed by Brexit and Great Britannia going it alone but I would be hugely sceptical of her ability to comprehend the real weight of any countrywide economic hardship.

Boris Johnson's sister:
'Boris was blown up by a political psychopath but it was Mrs Gove who detonated the bomb'

The historians of this bloodbath on the anniversary of the Somme will be kept busy for years to come, but all I could think at the end of last week was this:

Michael Gove is the man who has said many times that he is prepared to put his principles before his friends, that he will sacrifice anything and anyone on the high altar of his ideology.

But he must see, after what he has done, that he is now cast in the public mind not as a heroic man of conviction, but as a sort of Westminster suicide bomber, whose deadly belt of explosives has been detonated not by his own hand, but by his own wife.

Blimey.

She's a Tory. That should be enough for you.

Poor hating, disabled hating, working class hating, animal hating, blood sport loving bastards the lot of them.
 
Why didn't Boris give him the assurances he wanted? It seemed a fairly easy path into number 10 for BJ.
