The Conservative Party

He chose Angela Rayner mate she’s horrible, I could tell you some stories of how self important she thinks she is. Telling his MPs not to go on the picket lines they are Labour for fucks sake.

I thought the party members voted for Angela?
You can take the girl out of Ashton...

The situation a year ago was completely different and will be next year as well. Not sure how much you can rely on a model like that - guesswork.

Can’t see Labour winning that amount of seats and Lib Dems winning so little.

That's all a poll is - a snapshot in time - but it says that right now, people have had enough.

Can easily see how Johnson would go over Parliament and appeal to the English electorate; he really does believe he’s fulfilling some greater calling. Thankfully, enough people are starting to see that danger and will thwart it.

Can you imagine the candidate selection meetings if it came up in this week?

May be worth bearing in mind that Javid - like the appalling Republican Paul Ryan - is an unabashed admirer of Ayn Rand. But Rand's philosophy of objectivism has been utterly triturated, shown to be not only demonstrably incoherent but also empirically false.

No wonder the formidable philosopher and theologian John Milbank was moved to observe that, "It is extraordinarily disturbing that any mainstream politician should express any admiration for Ayn Rand. We should be concerned that someone like Sajid Javid can now hold high office within the United Kingdom.

Rand promoted a cult of amoral selfishness and ruthlessness that is certainly not conservative in any traditional sense – certainly not Burkean, but quite emphatically Nietzschean. The cult of Ayn Rand represents exactly the point where neoliberalism tends to veer towards a particular niche corner of the Far-Right. For there is little in her outlook that would necessarily favour democracy.”

Happy to be corrected, but a Prime Minister can call a snap election at any time, now that the fixed term parliament act has gone.

But I can't see how that helps him.

He has to request one from Her Majesty but that has to pass certain criteria.

He’ll be gone tonight I would imagine.

Talk about ungrateful. Zahawi gets made Chancellor yesterday and today is apparently waiting to tell the Prime Minister to go.

Looking like the country will need a new Government first mate
