It will definitely be a brexiteer. So I still think Boris is more likely than not.

You can't run a brexit campaign with a remainer leader.

Good lord

Boris is the biggest remainder in the whole country the absolute buffoon.

I've always thought @neil999 was sound, you take that back!

I've never voted tory! Playing devil's advocate

Likely tory leader when she goes? Rudd seems closest to 'safe pair of hands'

She can use her safe hands on me any time.

Right bit of totty.

 

[COYBL25]

Can't argue with any of that.

May is weak and shoud go. But the hard hipster lefties are looking to cause opportunistic aggro as usual.

That's what extremists on both sides do mate, they always have done.

They look for weakness and exploit it.

It's horrendous, as it's at times like this that people expect clear and decisive leadership.

Instead what we seem to have is leadership that appears to be making it up as it goes along.

Boris v Corbyn would be good TV to be fair.

Tories would almost definitely lose.

The irony being Corbyn is definitely anti EU and Boris just positioned himself there for a tilt at the leadership!

May is/was a Remainer and she got the Tory leadership right after the referendum.

I don't think Amber Rudd will succeed her, though, mainly because her constituency is a very vulnerable Tory-Labour marginal these days.

I think Corbyn would have won a majority if he'd gone pro brexit during the referendum now. He held on to the labour leave vote in the north. Had the youthful, urban remain vote pretty much to himself, just lacked the middle england brexit vote.

Hindsight and all that tho...

imagine describing this as a 'tragedy' when it was clearly 'murder for profit'!

He'd never appeal to the hardcore Brexiteers, the type of lads that have 'tells it like it is' and a British flag in their twitter bios due to his IRA stuff, and he'd have absolutely lost a lot of traditional labour voters if he'd have gone pro Brexit. He decided to basically do nothing then pretend he wanted to remain.

It's gone now, the people who voted for him aren't arsed about that, they know Brexit is happening but they don't want this mental Tory hard Brexit, or any more austerity.

Ok, corporate manslaughter and fraud.
