The Conservative Party

The only silver lining is the only way Boris can fuck up becoming PM is by being Boris.

Only 2 bothered to turn up for the result, lazy cunts.

Looking at who is left I cannot see the ones who voted for leadsome and mcvey not now backing johnson, stewart won't get any more than he did I am affraid for those hoping.

Comes across as 'honest' ,,,, that's not even his real name ..... he's lying to you about his feckin name FFS

What a bizarre post.

Nye Bevan?
"Maggie" Thatcher?
Alexander Johnson? (Till he went to Eton). But then his grandmother had changed the family name from Kemal...

Even the Scousers are disowning McVey.

Scousers like to pretend they are this bastion of socialism because they have a dockyard, alan bleasdale and some gobby **** in the 80s running the council, but they are the epitome of the right wing tory - entitled, blameless, shameless, racist and cunts.

Stewart speaking very well again on LBC, easily got around the points around controversial votes he’s previously made.

Kennedy reckons he can beat Boris if he gets through but that in itself will be the biggest challenge.

I know we have had Tory leadership contests before when it's not only to lead the party but to become PM, but this one is making me feel particularly ill.
We have some of the most momentous decisions to make as a country very soon and yet we have less than 400 MPs, who some surely are concentrating on their own survival and careers, and then some Tory party members (not even a drop in the ocean of the overall electorate) deciding who will lead it.
That feels very wrong.

It's our anachronistic and utterly broken political model, I'm afraid.

Yes, and I think this has finally shown me how ridiculous and broken it is.

For all it faults, it used to provide strong and stable (yes, I know) government, but no longer.

The problem is, turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

He snorted some gear twenty years ago and that precludes him from co-ordinating drug strategy? Seriously?

Depends what standards you want to hold your politicians to.

Standards rooted in reality would be a good start.

Usually I'd agree, but the standards in British politics have fallen so far, it might be a good time to raise them to a higher level.

was warned about when it was launched but as ever a Tory policy helps the rich - you can see why Bozo the Clown wants to cut their taxes too - fucking disgrace - redistributing the countries wealth to the wealthy
