Cable Forum - PM Boris forms a government

He's not my choice for PM - I do not care how much someone lies - if they do the task of taking us out of the EU - it's a job well done for me. It's all I want and for democracy to be upheld and to leave a totally corrupted union that makes this country suffer and has done for decades, out we must go, if Boris is that man for the job, then so be it.

Boris is my preferred choice for PM out of the two candidates, for three reasons:

1) He is the only candidate able to betray those who voted for Brexit and get away with it. He's betrayed so many people be it wives, mistresses, employers, constituents, but is still popular, making him uniquely qualified for the task.

2) He's a Leaver. We need a Leaver as PM who can tell Parliament that this is really the situation and will be believed. Hunt will be tainted as a Remainer in whatever he proposes for Brexit, in the same way that Theresa May was.

3) He's most likely to fail on the job due to:
a) His track record in not preparing properly and winging it.
b) His unstable relationship status - divorce not come through yet, maybe still hoping for a reconciliation, arguments with Carrie Symonds and no public show of unity with her this weekend.

That makes sense. Apparently, he's agreed to do the ITV one next month.

The ITV one takes place after voting has started... He doesn't want the faithful to remember what a vacuous idiot he is before they vote ! Hence him being generally incommunicado, but he can't even manage that, even when locked in a flat ! :D

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?

One of the Conservative party’s most generous donors has joined a growing chorus of demands for Boris Johnson to explain why police were called to his home after an altercation with his partner.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...to-explain-row

Quote:

“We deserve an explanation about that row, and he has to handle it properly. He can’t assume that we are going to support him when he has not explained every detail,” he said.

Quote:

Griffin, a Brexiter and founder of the cab firm Addison Lee, expressed concerns about Johnson’s morality and said he should also come clean about his previous behaviour, including his responsibilities to his children.

Quote:

Griffin is the second major Conservative donor to demand that Johnson explain what happened on Friday in Camberwell, south London. Another, who has given the party more than £500,000, told the Guardian the issue around the row was damaging the party. “We are a laughing stock,” he said.

Could Jezza be the next Prime Minister?

Quote:

What all this shows is that the new leader of the Conservative Party is unlikely to have a majority for his central policy come the autumn, and may not have a majority this July full stop.
If the latter is the case, then Mrs May will have to recommend that the Queen asks Jeremy Corbyn whether he can assemble a majority instead. If not, it’s election time.
No wonder Britain’s top civil servant has put the current Prime Minister on notice that her biggest decision may be still to come.

No its extremely long odds on that Boris Johnson will be the next Prime minister but another prominent media voice Max Hastings has a very strong opinion on him and he knows him better then many.

Bit like Farage then ..

Boris Johnson does speak to Steve Bannon, says Nigel Farage

Quote:

Boris Johnson does speak to Steve Bannon, Nigel Farage has said, increasing the pressure on the Conservative leadership frontrunner to explain his links to Donald Trump’s controversial former campaign manager.

“Steve likes to be seen at the centre of the action. He knows Boris, he speaks to Boris. Steve speaks to virtually everybody,” Farage told a press conference when asked what he knew of Johnson’s links to Bannon.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?

The Tories are mostly bonkers so they'll elect Boris. However it'll become clear from day 1, what a mistake they've made, particularly for anyone who wants delivery of Brexit. He'll be another Theresa May within weeks, the same people now part to of his cult, will be despising him within weeks. The bonkers people will then go back to Farage, whilst the Tories lose power.

See? There's always a happy ending :)

No chance, most of the country (just) is still sane.

Thanks to our wonderful electoral system, the Brexit party is a gift for Labour.

Agreed. Whilst Jezza is a gift to the Conservative Party, Farage is a gift to the Labour Party. ;)

Hold on to that fantasy .

https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/n...rimsby-3015161

At the European elections the Brexit Party polled half of the votes in the two parliamentary seats with Labour polling a meagre 10-12 per cent of the vote.

The impact, and its affect on the future of Miss Onn and Mr Dakin, has now been presented in a briefing paper discussed by the shadow cabinet on Tuesday, June 18, which was seen by the political website LabourList.

In a breakdown of the paper, LabourList identified the two Lincolnshire seats under a section titled: “These are the key Leave seats to worry about”.

It went on: “The briefing says that the top 50 council shares of the vote for the Brexit Party include 14 Labour-held seats: Hartlepool, Great Grimsby, Ashfield, Redcar, Bolsover, Barnsley Central, Barnsley East, Penistone & Stocksbridge, Wentworth & Dearne, Dudley North, Bassetlaw, Scunthorpe, Stoke-on-Trent Central, Stoke-on-Trent North.”

LabourList says the paper analyses what may happen if Labour – as is now widely forecast – shifts to an anti-Brexit and pro-Remain policy.
