Tory Leadership

[csearle]

I vote for BJ and Raab. Raab for his politics and BJ for his charisma + I totally loved the concept of The Garden Bridge and was disappointed when it didn't happen.

BJ and Rory Stewart - a genuine clash of opposites.

Yeah, I want to vote for Bojo because he is a winner and can deliver Brexit.

But Rory is a superior human being.

Electing a PM is demanding. I have not made up my mind yet.

Can you give an example of a political leader who didn't have a huge ego?

Boris is a dead cert? This one's just in from the FT's comments section:

Oh well, at least Theresa May can look forward to the moment when she ceases to be the UK's worst ever Prime Minister.

"At least I only have a month of my party membership to go. As soon as I've voted for anyone who isn't a Lib Dem in disguise then I'm off to join the Brexit Party." - DT comment section

Who the hell is Boris?

And why am I the only one sent to hell

I've a cracking post I've been working on all week - how the aerodynamics of a shuttlecock changes if one of the feathers is tampered with. The world of sport will never be the same.

Laurel and Hardy.

You won't be disappointed then!

I will. I was rather hoping that we could bring the farcical charade that is disguising politics to a succesful close. Indeed Laurel and Hardy most likely would do a better job.

Who are your two preferred final candidates?

Between the Pied Piper of Hamelin (plus rats) and Hannibal Lecter - spoilt for choice

Empty Lectern looking good tonight. Didn't say anything unrealistic on Brexit, no gaffes. Polished veneer, maybe a bit wooden, but I reckon Empty Lectern wood teak back control.

I read that and wondered if you shouldn't've written ... teak back light.

Which led me to speculate on what might shine out of the back side of Empty Lectern.

It was plane to see that he knew he'd be beeched. Screw yew, he said, I'm off, and never mind the willow the people.

The trouble is with you people is you can't see the wood for the trees.

The big old oak doesn't have anything to prove (just wants to get on with the job).

Perhaps a rehearsal for how he will handle PM's questions

Given Corbyn's total inability to think on his feet during PQT, I doubt anyone would notice the difference. Losing a debate to a piece of wood isn't a good look.

Will the Bridgend MP be pining for the Fords?

[UncleIan]

I'd like Javid to win, bit of an outsider I know, but it'll upset a relative of mine that's your basic racist.
