Re: Leadership who is the next PM?

Sam Gyimah becomes candidate no. 13.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politi...-tory-16241942
Seems the only sensible candidate to me, he proposes another referendum. This could end up with 11 rounds of voting for MPs ! Will they have time before their hols ?

Nothing wrong with her accent. I prefer it to the usual Home Counties one most vanilla politicians have.

If they choose a leader on looks/accent then may they are using the wrong criteria. However in today's vacuous image obsessed world, it's probably the way to go.

I was in no way suggesting such a thing, but I was opposing discounting her on her accent which would equally be as wrong. That is all.

Maybe he feels a particular side of the argument should be put in the election, rather than hoping to win.

Atm it seems to be a contest of who can deliver the most right wing Brexit, gives wads of cash to health/education plus massively cut taxes. Get elected first, you'll never be brought to account for any lies these days anyway.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?

Just had a little chuckle at BBC News.

They were interviewing Esther McVey about various things, with the straplines 'Esther McVey on austerity', 'Esther McVey on Brexit' etc.

When it came to her plans for the welfare state (and just as I returned to the room), it said 'Esther McVey on benefits'!

I was taken aback and wondering which benefit she was on, until I realised what was going on

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?

Half of all Tory MPs have now declared their support for a leadership candidate and Boris is now out in front with Gove in second. If Boris finishes in the top 2 of the MPs voting process the leadership is as good as his. He is by far the most popular among the grassroots.

More like he wants to make it as farcical as the last one, then it was not enough candidates to be taken seriously now it's far to many
