I've no idea what he's about myself. Strange. seems he was against Brexit and even voted against it in the Referendum. You would think that would scupper him. Maybe he will be a bit more flexible with the deal then. Also worked for The Northern Ireland office so hopefully shows some understanding on that as well. Then again there was a lot of sabre rattling from him on Ukraine. Hopefully that was just sound bytes for the armed forces.

It's stopped me desperately refreshing the transfer thread for the last few days Don't worry, it's not over. We have until Sept for Boris to float the idea that maybe he won't step down as PM. The nutcase still thinks he as done nothing wrong and is just being done over unfairly. I agree with Cummings, he is playing for time and will absolutely jump at any chance he can get to hang on.

BBC 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 7, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 7, 2022 My understanding is that Nadine Dorries believes that 96% of Conservative MP's support her bid for the leadership. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Bye Boris. Great job with Ukraine. Terrible job with everything else, particularly the incompetent Brexit handling for the UK.

PaulC Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I dont understand how he can continue until they appoint a new PM in the autumn. Surely they need to appoint an interim pm until they decide on a permanent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted July 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2022 I look at Britain, and at first my reaction with something like Boris's resignation is, what's the matter with Britain? Why have they messed up their country so much? How could they be so stupid to put someone like that in charge? And then I look at MY country -- my other country, to be accurate, and I'm just like ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
