Gove will marmalise Johnson if it comes down to those two. My money's been on Gove for months, and I'm quietly confident.
Johnson's camp want to face Hunt in the final, so it wouldn't surprise me if we see some shenanigans (vote lending) take place in the next ballot.Gove will marmalise Johnson if it comes down to those two. My money's been on Gove for months, and I'm quietly confident.
A vote of no confidence in the house is different to what it was pre-Brexit Party and post May’s departure. No Tories are going to vote against him with the thinking that a new leader would unite the Tories and win a GE.Hoping Labour immediately put down a vote of no confidence against BoJo to test whether he actually has the confidence of the house. That's supposed to be a prerequisite for May to approach the queen anyway so it should be tested.
I imagine he would win as the weak willed Tories opposed to his leadership will stand behind giving him a chance.
Slightly conflicting message there HJ, I've taken this as a positive.Not a chance Johnson is the darling of the membership.
He's pretty much a dead cert PM now barring a complete and utter disaster (which it has to be said BJ is more than capable of)
I'm saying he is pretty much home and dry. Photo on the No. 10 staircase wall. Unless he shoots himself majorly in the foot, which isn't beyond the realms of possibilities with Boris.Slightly conflicting message there HJ, I've taken this as a positive.
That's what I'm expecting. They'll hold fire (they being the rebel tories) until it looks like he makes a push for no deal and then they'll either side with Labour in various motions or a full blown VONC.A vote of no confidence in the house is different to what it was pre-Brexit Party and post May’s departure.

He’s the one that has been chosen to unite the Tories and he wouldn’t win a GE with the Brexit party syphoning off so many votes.
He’ll do another deal with the DUP and votes will be along party lines.
Suspect the conservatives might roll the dice on a snap election... Deselect any non hard brexit conservatives and hope that taking a hard brexit stance wins enough votes back from the brexit party (combined with the quite likley new leader bounce in the polls) and change the Westminster maths to say the election is the manadte for a hard brexit and push it thriughThat's what I'm expecting.

Still we all know what's going to happen so they could save us the bother.
All that avocado toast, though.Tweet

In relation to all the arguments pertaining to housing and the like where young people are cast off as being fiscally irresponsible and just not saving enough.

Thinly veiled prejudice?Bore off with your thinly veiled prejudice/racism, every thread it's the same daily mail logic of what a phobia is with you lot. Can only imagine you all read it on Britain First and thought it was clever.
Most of us non-muslims (and yes you only speak on behalf of a particular subset) do care about the abuse any of our fellow citizens get whether that's because the colour of their skin or religion. Tories have a huge issue with racism let's not pretend otherwise.
People hate Christians in America?There is - look at the US.
Why would they?
Anyway. As a "non-muslim," I do care about islamophobia. I live in a multi cultural city with a multicultural family that includes non-practising Muslims. I'd like to think that our government doesn't treat them or think of them as any different to the rest of society.
Imagine having to be lent the votes of people who think Boris will make a better pm just so that you can get more people to vote for you than POBImagine thinking Gove was a tough opponent.
Bung him a few more quid and he'll give you a cabinet post.GDaly95 said:When will BoJo be officially made the PM then? I drunkenly put 10 quid on him to get the job and I want my money back.
Where have you been for the last 3 years?I've disliked a few prime ministers in my 34 years. This will be the first time I'm disgusted and ashamed of the prime minister of my country.
The week of the 22nd of July.When will BoJo be officially made the PM then? I drunkenly put 10 quid on him to get the job and I want my money back.
Does parliament have to be open for him to officially become pm?When will BoJo be officially made the PM then? I drunkenly put 10 quid on him to get the job and I want my money back.
Doesn't even compare.Where have you been for the last 3 years?
He probably realises whoever takes the UK through brexit will end up politically radioactive. (Plus he has no cabinet experience)Why did Rees-Mogg not put himself forward then?
Yeah fair pointHe probably realises whoever takes the UK through brexit will end up politically radioactive. (Plus he has no cabinet experience)
Suspect he will find himself a cushy number for backing Boris (chancellor?)
All ready to move next door in a couple of years
I'd love her to have headbutted himTweet

It's very concerning that that is all it took to provoke a man into putting his hands on a woman like that. Look at the state of him. If that had been a man I guarantee he'd have done feck all but sit in his chair moping and fantasising about killing poor people. Obviously, he feels brave enough to tackle a woman though.Tweet
