The next PM.

Colchester...... Just ignore him mate like most others on here do.

It’s all about self promotion

And Boris is the best of the bunch at that! Gove is a close 2nd imo. Both have that key political skill - hipocricy - in spades!

I'm not certain it's a great career move to go for it at this stage though. Unless whoever 'wins' can unite the Tories (and/though the 'honeymoon period' probably helps that) then Parliament will be just as divided in any vote as it was under May! Corbyn will be doing his best to frustrate any proposal, in order to 'justify' a GE - in the hope of reaping the public's frustration in the lack of progress.

Personally, I believe the only really likely prospect is for a default No Deal at Oct 31.
 
Well, the thought does occur. Remember, he's a classics man. There was a chap in Rome regarded as a buffoon who became Emperor, ( Claudius)!, and IIRC, history regards him as having made not too bad a job of it.
Clavdivs (I've called him that since watching the 'telefication' of Graves's book) was mocked for for his ail;ments (limp and deafness, not the stutter Jocobi added). Boris certainly made a reasonable job as London Mayor - though much of the credit for 'high profile' projects should go to Red Ken, who initiated them! Certainly improved over his embarrasing effort accepting the handover for London Olympics!
 
Watched the debate thsi evening - was more interesting than I thought it would be. Rory Stewart seemed to be the audience favorite by quite a stretch. Gove seemed a bit smug and confident; Hunt and Javid actually did OK - Hunt a bit more so than Javid I thought. Rory Stewart was clearly, to my ears, the audience favourite and they liked and applauded almost all that he said. And there was Raab - was he punting for the job of leader of the Tories and PM, or for one as a tailors dummy? Poor he was IMO.
 
Well we had a "debate" which proved two things.

1. None of them understand the latest ultimatum from the EU - that we leave at the end of October deal or no deal, those are the rules and has nothing to do with voting in Parliament or does that mean that remainers want to "take back control".

2. That they don't understand that if you give the voters a choice, and the voters win then your supposed to do what the voters requested.

I didn't watch the debate but apparently Dom has said he'd suspend parliament to get the "No Deal" through. And that, for me, shows that he's the man we need.
 
Wonder if suspending parliament would be so popular if it was Mr Corbyn trying to push through his policies :eek:
 
Hmmm aside from the fact you apparently ignore me 😂😂 you just can't help yourself can you......

Can you elaborate on what the EU are telling us to do, perhaps some examples?
Backstop? Remain in a customs agreement? It's not hard to find examples if you look :rolleyes:
 
Yes.... as dictated by the EU as being 'non negotiable'. If we leave with no deal we have the option to tell the EU to shove it if we choose to do so.
Mate, I’m a Leaver, but those options are available to the EU as well. TM always had the option NOT to accept their side of the negotiations.
The No Deal option is a bluff, we need plans for 1st Nov if it happens, nobody, absolutely nobody, has a clue what they are.
 
Very strange that after 2 years warning some big business and the staunch remain Palace of Westminster keep saying their not ready.

There not ready because they don't want to be ready.
No, their not ready, because Government needs to lead the way and plan, it’s not all about business’s being ready.
ie, what happens at the UK borders at 1 minute to midnight and 1 minute past midnight, the answer can’t be, “oh nothing, it’ll be alright” are we sure the EU won’t change things and if it is nothing, is that done by burying our head in the sand and hoping for the best or is it by doing a “Deal” with the EU.

I’m all for a No Deal if it’s planned correctly and done in advance, not all this blustering and argument we have now.

Parliament refusing to plan for something it doesn't want yet hasn't got the courage to just cancel Brexit because it fears the consequences. Instead they will push for a second referendum in the hope that the people will bail them out. Bunch of cowards with the integrity of a snake.

So no answer then, no different to DC refusing to allow any plans for a Leave vote.
