This is how a Parliamentary democracy works. It would work this way under any voting system

Another poll fieldwork yesterday

Not reported as dead yet

That’s the first episode of Question Time I’ve watched in any part since before the Referendum. It's still f***ing dreadful. There was a comment on HS2 by the trustafarian banjo twanger. First of all he calls it HS1, Fiona Bruce corrected him and asked if he meant HS2 because she'd never heard of HS1. HS1 is the Eurostar line through the Channel Tunnel you dumb bastard. Then the banjo twanger goes on about getting to Manchester 15 minutes quicker and not one person picks up on this nonsense. Then a woman in the audience talks about not being able to get more local trains across the country and she doesn’t care about getting to London. Not one of them actually knows or realises that HS2 is all about capacity on the railway not speed, the speed is just the side effect of building new modern lines. The capacity the new lines will take off the old East and West Coast mainlines will enable more local trains and more freight to be carried on the network. It’s the solution to the sodding problem they are complaining about (and more.) Not one of the panel, not the Labour woman, not Campbell, not the Tory, nor even Tim Stanley all of whom should know managed to even challenge this speed nonsense. Complete bunch of morons. Anyone watching it with no knowledge still thinks it’s about getting somewhere a bit quicker and it won’t do anything for them. If this bloke can explain it, why can't they. Listen to Gareth!

I didn’t know who the other gimp was with his hair tied up. He was in Mumford and Sons and then it all made sense, he’s the son of a Hedge Fund tycoon. Hardly your average musician, in fact he’s not even an average musician.

Wrong and Unable more like

Dorries and Raab, the continuity candidates

Conservative members opinions don't really count yet. As the present rules stand, they'll get a choice of two, though I heard on the radio tonight that some want it to be a choice of 3 or 4 to go to the members, which will neccesitate a rule change and even that rule change will cause some blood letting you'd imagine. How does four candidates to the membership work? Single Transferable Vote (or whatever the name for that when there's only one victor is which I forget) or straight highest vote count and that's it. No mention of Sue Ellen in that list either and she's only one of two that's chucked their hat in so far.

Doesn't approve of gay marriage That's half the male Tory MPs against him already

For the sake of clarity, I have never delivered milk in Lapal

I think he admitted to giving out a laugh once... by accident

Remainer for starters

No he wasn't backed into any corner. Boris was backed into a corner, Cameron was not, he had plenty of different options he just came up with a f***ing stupid one, that he actually thought he'd win easily

No he wasn't. The Party was worried about the threat from Farage and the ERG. There were plenty of other ways to solve the problem

She's a Devil Woman but We Don't Talk Anymore

GBNews TV show awaits

That'll be an interesting one if it happens

None of that has anything to do with actual policy

Obelix

James Cleverley as Education Secretary? He's just trolling now

He has to have a functioning Cabinet or Government grinds to a halt It's the letting him stay until there's a new leader that is a huge mistake

Pointless exercise at this point, they don't know who is standing yet. No Braverman, NoTugendhat etc

There will not be a change of direction, just temporary bribes to the electorate

You think? The Tory Party is now full of Brexiters

It's going to be a bloodbath (hopefully) If Sunak stands for example, how long before it's leaked that he didn't want to do furlough etc and that happened against his advice, same with all the tax cuts. The knives will be out for everyone who stands
