Current Affairs The next Tory (strong and stable) leader is Boris Johnson

[Aberblue]

He is on record as saying that British workers are "idlers"

To be fair, he was proably thinking of the Cabinet when he said that.

People under 50.

Bit of a nonsense as Liz Truss isn't in the running. Plus the final two won't reallt be arsed about what the young voters think, as the 50+ brigade will be the core vote.

Pete. This is a wind-up. We have had much debate and one thing you are certainly not is thick. The man has no substance other than obesity, no grasp of detail and would sell every job in the UK for a spell of power. He needs a much deserved fatal heart attack.

But he is a leader. People will follow him. The country will follow him. Philip Hammond has all the grasp of detail you could ever want, but people wouldn’t even follow him to the bar for a free drink......

The handful of Tories under 50 years of age must lead to a high degree of statistical variance though.

McVey has the advantage of magic on her side

McVey has the advantage of magic on her side

Is that like the invisible Universal Credit she legged it from before it completely carted.

 

[davmaher]

Imagine putting your name forward with that motley crew and still your chances being rated at 66/1.....

Esther, no one likes you.

I don't think McVey will believe she has any real chance in the selection process. For her and a few of the others it's about getting a decent job in the new cabinet, whoever leads it.

Pete. He is not a leader. To lead you need a clue where you are heading. Yes, he has the ability to persuade people who struggle to think beyond a soundbite to follow him, I agree.

He has no principles, no grasp of detail and no idea deeper than drivel about Britain being great, which it is far from. For the ordinary people of this country he is a very dangerous individual. No diplomatic skills, no grasp of anything of substance.

Phil Hammond does grasp detail, you are correct and he is as opposite to that half-wit as it is possible to be in the same party.

noticed this elsewhere

You'd have to be insane to want to take over the Conservative party right now. So I'm expecting a pretty big field.

lol

 

[Rob17896]

To be fair, he was proably thinking of the Cabinet when he said that.

If he was comparing them to eastern europeans then he would be correct.

wouldn't take any notice of that there is probably only about 15 of them

 

[Blueclouds]

What do you all think of Rory Stewart?

 

[Seathestars]

There will be literally hundreds of stories to explode around Johnson. His personal life is an absolute mess and the leaking of all that will be enough to deny him a huge swathe of Tory activists. Leaving that aside though, just point a microphone in his direction and it'll be a dropped bollock on every occasion.

I hope and pray he becomes Tory leader. I just dont think the Tories will allow that eventuality.

Like they did with Trump, that worked out well.
