Well done for knowing what everyone else thinks. Quite a gift.

almost every one else… ;)

So, are you saying he didn’t lie about knowing, then defending, then trying to change the rules, for someone who was a repeat sexual predator, and was then kicked out by his own party’s MPs, or are you just trying to derail the conversation with ad hominem attacks?

I know that he was thought a liability by the party to whom he had won a massive majority, and was certainly hated by the Remain element of the Tories, but they’ve got their man in position now.

I made no ad hominem attack, I was just praising your self proclaimed mind reading prowess.

I love Miriam Margolyes :D

On Saturday morning’s BBC Radio 4, Harry Potter star Margolyes appeared on the show, where she aired her views on Hunt as her interview came to a close.

The actress confessed to hosts Justin Webb and Martha Kearney that she never thought she’d be ‘sitting in the seat’ where Hunt had been sitting.

The thing is, when I saw him there, I just said, “You’ve got a hell of a job, the best of luck.” Of course what I wanted to say was, “F**k you, you b*****d!” But you can’t say that,’ she then added.

The co-hosts scrambled to stop Margolyes from saying anything further that could cause ripples on the radio pre-watershed, as Webb laughed while stating: ‘Oh no no no you mustn’t say that. We’ll have to have you out of the studio now.’

The title of this thread should give you all a clue that it's about the current PM not previous PMs.

If it’s any consolation Pierre, I don’t expect he will be in the job very long.

Watched Jeremy Hunt this morning on Sky news and lost count how many times he said difficult decisions, so I expect a complete change to the promise of no reduction in spending the Liz made a couple of days ago.

I expect the income tax cut to be 'postponed'.

I don’t think anyone will be. The only way out for the country is a General Election.

I hate the proposition but the government have proven themselves unfit to govern.

Radio 4 was better. But only for the contribution from Miriam Margolyes.

I suppose we’ll just have to stomach Blair 2.0. And see what happens.

You could argue we're so far from the last GE team & manifesto, they no longer have a mandate to enact these new policies

(Insert British exceptionalist trope about unwritten constitution, stability etc)

She's fine as long as she has the support of a majority of MPs. :rofl:
