That leaves the brilliant and ruthless Michael Gove. A true brexiteer. Any other selection would be a travesty.

Well you better get the tissues out tonight old boy.

I can't say I consider either of the candidates attractive enough to make me reach for the tissues. Others' mileage may vary.

I'm more likely to reach for guides to living abroad given one of the options.

May doesn't really enthrall but Leadsom terrifies.

Yes l see May as the best of a bad bunch and that's not saying much.

Disastrous. Neither May (Remainer) nor Leadsom (Political lightweight) are suitable.

The BREXIT vote has been stitched up and 17.4m voters will be seething. .

Our politicians are in denial.

Think about this:

Prime Minister Leadsom answering questions at PMQs from Jeremy Corbyn.

Are you imagining it?

It'd do wonders for net migration.

Hyacinth bucket vs Worzel Gummidge. No it can't happen. Can it?

Although interesting the next PM will be a woman. 2nd in our history which although is obviously a bad sign historically but reflects pretty well on us in modern times. Next year we could have a Female President in the States too. 3 of the 5 biggest economies would have a female leader.

Sadly a humble man like me has no space for a shed in our little hobbits abode.

Not I like this members voting thing. Other than maybe encouraging participation from their grassroots it seems damaging. I prefer the idea of a those who are elected by the electorate in their constituencies choosing who leads them.
