Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
Saves Boris from having to sack them seeing as it's very unlikely he would want May's old anti-Brexit dross in his team.

Backbenchers are often very dangerous from the back benches especially with a axe to grind as just ask Margaret Thatcher about one of her former cabinet ministers.

There will now be a vote on the final deal (the “meaningful vote”) in Parliament.

Without agreeing this deal in Parliament, the legal default is the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
tbh They should do what they do in the states on a President's re-election by all resigning giving the new PM the chance to hire them or not rather than fire them.

The Apollo 11 hitting the Pacific Ocean at 11 km/s would have been the result of frictionless reentry, so I fear BJ’s plan may crash and burn just as spectacularly.
b) 400,000 people worked on the Apollo programme at a total cost of a quarter trillion dollars, and it took 8 years. MIT designed and built the Apollo guidance computer. The issues were vast and exceptionally complex, and its design ground breaking
Once again, BJ doesn’t know what he’s talking about (or doesn’t care, because he thinks a sound bite is better than actuality). |
You take all this so literally, Hugh! Boris has a humour gene which kicks in at regular intervals.

Generally to cover up his woeful ignorance and factual shortcomings on any particular topic.

I'll bear that in mind the next time he says something counter-factual - "he's being humourous..".
So when the leading contender to be the next Prime Minister compares two things, using the same term for both, we shouldn't actually take what he says to be accurate - OK, then...
Good job the Apollo team didn't take the astronauts surviving re-entry to be an "aspiration", isn't it?

I feel sure buzz lightyear and streach armstrong wouldn't hold it against him.

Well, they aren't actually real things, like many of BJ's statements, so the congruence works...

You can't win on this one, OB. It'll be best to keep your powder dry on Boris until he shows one way or the other.
I'm level headed enough not to have gone for the glitz and show biz.

Yeah, tell that to Nazanine Zaghari Ratcliffe, don't worry it was only bozos humour gene kicking in that doubled your sentence, if that were me I doubt I could utter another word in public let alone hold office, she is clearly a pawn in a game but did his specific efforts help her situation or make it much worse

Indeed! Also this utter nonsense about not taking Boris so seriously etc is one you hear from Trump supporters too on a regular basis. His 'witty' racist one liners, his 'joke' about dating his own daughter.
Not so funny now we know we have a white supremacist in The White House with very close link to a pedophile and a child sex trafficker.
Guess whose backing Johnson.

Yes having the Milky Bar brothers in power is like a nightmare, only you wake up eventually from nightmares.

I do not trust a word that comes out of BJ's mouth.

Neither does Nigel Farage who doesn't believe BoJo will deliver Brexit on 31st October.
