His over the top toff act is obviously something he learned to put on to fit in. What crap. No one 'forgets' what you have made up. 'Posh' people get scholarships too. Scholarships (such as the one gained by Boris) are given on the basis of academic performance and potential.

MakemineVanilla Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 It certainly can't be doubted that Hilary Benn is a toff, in the aristocratic sense of the word, and it would be quite an amusing reversal of tradition if he became Labour leader and May led the Tories.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Interesting 'leaked' email from Sarah Vine. Boris is going to get shafted now that he's served his purpose, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I find it equal parts amusing and horrifying that the favourite person to be our next Prime Minister is a man who deals with difficult problems by going in to hiding and cancelling his appointments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted June 30, 2016 Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2016 They Tory Party are heading to the right, almost occupying the ground UKIP held and the Labour party are heading back toward the centre right ground where Blair positioned them and looking to appeal to traditional Conservative voters. Whichever way we go, it's pretty clear that any thought for the rights of people, for socialism, isn't about to flourish in British politics.

The shadow cabinet members that quit might have been from the centre but the party isn't heading there, far from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 so the man that knifed Cameron , gets knifed himself Gove has to come from a long way back in terms of current support ( May and Boris allegedly have most of it wrapped up ) though In terms of negotiating the Exit , May did tell the yanks to jog on when they tried to force us to hand over the Hacker kid with Asperger's so does prove she has a spine to her , but I just don't see the public warming to her , and her Snopers charter means she deserves a bullet between the eyes (hypothetically speaking in case anyone does it and then claims I told them to do it) Boris will be terrible at the negotiating but probably popular with the public and likely to win a GE Crabbe will be leader one day but it's too early for him which leaves Gove and Fox as the 2 best candidates all in all and we thought that Labour wannbe leadership list was depressing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 May is well positioned. She kept her head down during the Brexit campaign and has no unfortunate quotes to live down and can present herself as the sensible alternative to Gove and Johnson. If the ballot takes place on October 13th, which has been suggested, she could become PM on Maggie's birthday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Shirley Liam Fox can't be serious about a bid for leadership? That must just be some hope that he'll get 4 or 5 votes that would be useful to someone else that he can then trade for a nice minor ministerial role that will allow him some foreign travel. He loves a bit of foreign travel. Doesn't always declare it in the members interests, but that's just boring admin.. It's all the foreign travel that caused him to run up a £20,000 phone bill he put on expenses. When that came out, he did promise to actively look for a more competitive tariff so fair play to him. Fox the millionaire that put in an expenses claim for a 1 mile car journey totalling 3p. Then I suppose we can overlook that strange episode with his unofficial special advisor? The one that was shacked up in Fox's flat printing his own business cards, whilst Fox claimed for having to rent a property elsewhere. Then had to pay back over £20,000 of mortgage expenses. Nah, I don't see the winner being Liam Fox. The original B'stard. Damaged goods. If they elect him it would be like saying politicians are allowed to be cheating scumbags out for every last penny they can skin us for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I cannot stand Michael Gove, I really hope this cretin doesnt win. Would rather have May than this weasel and I dont like May either. I personally think as much of a bafoon he is Johnson should win it as he is a major reason we left so he should be held accountable whatever happens. Crabb would be my ideal candidate but I dont think he will have a chance yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
