Sounded clueless on bbc breakfast, asked what his ideas to resolve brexit stand off ws and couldn't give any bar no deal isn't an option, which any sane person knows already
You say that, but Johnson is still pitching no-deal. If he wins on a no-deal pitch then when it (inevitably) isn’t delivered, Mogg and his merry band of disaster capitalists and assorted idiots will soon withdraw support and round round we go
His pitch is comprise, basically don’t try and outdo Farage because it won’t work - His pre-politics CV seems impressive enough
I don’t think he’ll win, by the way
Johnson becoming PM will be a new low for politics in this country.As.I said sane person, Johnson is a fucking lunatic and any person who wants him as PM needs locking up.
The man is being backed by a facist, and a yank at that, has this country sunk so low that we would allow this to happen.
If the general public stand by idle and let this happen then the country deserves to crash and burn.
I can take the shite we get when a tory government is elected fairly and we have to accept the will of the populace, but this is beyond the pale if it happens.
Rory Stewart sounding very impressive on LBC today. I’m increasingly confident about at least getting a run for my money with him. £5 at 50/1

I think that it is just the immediate reaction of some Remainers that have become confident that Brexit is totally dead - but are now just a bit worried that may not be the case.I'm no May/Tory fan but was just about to say the same thing...weird and a bit worrying that people have forgotten this.
From wikipedia
Stewart was born in Hong Kong, the son of the diplomat Brian Stewart and his wife Sally Elizabeth Acland Nugent. His family live in the listed[6] Broich House near Crieff in Perthshire, Scotland. He was brought up in Malaysia...While a student at Oxford, Stewart was a private tutor to Prince William and Prince Harry during the summer....After graduating, Stewart joined the Foreign Office.[12] He served in the British Embassy in Indonesia from 1997 to 1999, working on issues related to East Timor independence, and was appointed at the age of 26 as the British Representative to Montenegro in the wake of the Kosovo campaign.
What part of his life will he draw upon to relate to the rest of the 99% of the people he will represent?

Leavers, no matter which party they would vote for in a GE, are now a bit more hopeful than they were last week
He has as much chance of leading the Tory party as Corbyn.
What part of grass roots Tory support that voted for brexit and will demand a brexit PM are people not getting?
He’s on record as saying he doesn’t want a 2nd ref and wants to deliver Brexit
Fair enough, but you, like many/most others that are calling for a GE, would have then and now been motivated entirely by your affiliation to the Labour party and the desire to see them in power - not really out of some 'principled' view (not suggesting that you are not principled)I did want a GE when brown first came in as he would have won fresh from averting a foot n mouth crisis and it was pre crash

I bet Chippy is not demanding a GE at this point
Committed Leavers at this point would not want a GE unless another Remainer is elected
Not a chance in hell and he can say what he likes, grass roots support knows full well he is very much in the the camp that says we would never leave without a deal.
They will demand a PM that will put the possibility of that from a negotiating stance back on the table and that is what we will get.
And round and round we go. If they go for a no-deal, we will still be here this time next year
It’s time for realism
Amazing that people still don't get it, and I don't just mean on here, I include Stewart and many others.He has as much chance of leading the Tory party as Corbyn.

He's been on TV not long ago saying exactly that, which means he's as much chance of being PM as we haveNot a chance in hell and he can say what he likes, grass roots support knows full well he is very much in the the camp that says we would never leave without a deal.

That is not a realistic outcome. Do you seriously think the first act of the new PM would be to sit on his/her hands for 3 months? Then the 2nd act of what we be a very short lived role, would to be to explain to the country why it has flushed itself down the toilet?
