Or that people like me voted Lib Dem in the Euro election but would vote labour in a by-election.
The stats there though don't necessarily indicate the Lib Dems struggling though - by all accounts they've still made some decent improvements in a seat that was absolutely dead in the water for them. What it does indicate though is that while the Brexit Party will obviously be a big threat in a GE, they won't sweep them like they did the Euros because more Labour/Tory voters will turn out.

Yikes.
What in the actual feck.
How can anyone within the party actually try to spin it that way? Jesus fecking Christ.
Good to see that the Mail continues to support the Mosleys.
Dya know what I've always said Gove isn't that bad.
Gove is the one to fear the most.
He’s the weakest of the lot, the one that will be more than happy to be Prime Minister for 5 months, be coerced towards a very hard or no deal Brexit, become the sacrificial lamb being absolutely destroyed by the media and public for the disaster that ensues only to then sit back with a smile and say “well it didn’t go to plan but I was still Prime Minister for 5 months wasn’t I?”
The man is monumentally stupid. It doesn’t matter what field he is working in, he still manages to be exactly the same person in the same role, failing so other people can succeed.

How long has Murdoch been angling for Gove as PM? You get the sense he controls everything.
It worksWhat in the actual feck.

Spin... Nah that was only the blairite scum... It's now all about honest politics...What in the actual feck.

These people and their disastrous attempts at appearing normal.

Javid has no chance...
I don't see him appealing to the conservative membership... Sadly mainly because I can't see many of them entertaining the idea of electing a "Muslim" (even though he himself does not follow any religion)
Add into that he backed remain in the referendum plus he's never going to able to escape the fact that hes a multi milionaire interbational banker yet he tries to play on the fact he's a lad from Rochdale who likes a fag and a drink...
Out in the 2nd or 3rd round of votes is my guess
I think Gove will have a real sniff at the leadership contest. Although his background isn’t whiter than white and he looks like a real Charlie, he’s being bankrolled in a A1 position.
If he was still Education Secretary, he could have given himself 100 lines.The Conservatives are utterly shameless.
All we need now is Boris Johnson to admit he was on acid when coming up with his promises during his campaign for the Brexit referendum.
I think Gove is a massive twat but honestly his answer to this was very good, if you somehow ignore the fact that he lied about the same thing years ago. He admitted to doing it many times when he was a journalist. Openly admitted that it's because he didn't think he'd end up in a job where his personal life would be so heavily focused on when he got older, and how his past experiences with drugs have made him wary of them. Give Boris a chance to answer and I bet he'll lie and say he's always lived a clean life, and then when he gets caught out he'll probably do the same u turn Gove has here. However, as far as "living in a bubble" Tories go he at least has some understanding of something other than trashing other people's property or your willy in a pig's mouth to go with the rest of the shite they seem to be indoctrinated with at an early age.
Still a lying wee fecker though.

He really has a problem with women.
Didn't he say he's probably not a feminist? He sure isn't one.
That will probably give him a boost amongst the Tory membership.
Not amongst the female members.
Don't bet on it, mate.
I’ll happily bet on it.
ONLY 2 million in poverty! Don't worry about it. Small numbers. A minority.
Your posts really are quite poor. But you don't seem to care. Carry on...

Grade A shithead, he's doing a swell job at being unpopular.
There are a group of people in this country hell bent on turning it into America.
The worst thing is that Hunt is probably one of the better ones in that party...
No he really isn’t. He’s a vile cnut who wants to privatize the NHS and turn us into America. This has been true for at least a decade.

You are right. People like Hammond don't understand the first thing about what is happening in this country outside Westminster.
No doubt he has a spreadsheet that he has tweeked to make sure that it tells him what he wants to hear.
He has no idea about the effects of the austerity programme on services that local councils can no longer provide.
What a wonderful human being he is...
Better?
Better at what precisely. Because if he is better, then gawd help us.
Really does seem that way sadly. I can't even believe we have a mainstream politician expressing such a view.
Still we had people in here defending Farrons position on homosexuality so there's always a surprise.
