There are minders pretty much sitting on him 24/7 and he’s being very careful about when and how he answers questions. He knows it’s his to lose.

And this is the man people want to be our Prime Minister? Someone who needs "minders" to ensure he does not reveal his true personality?

Fun times ahead indeed ..

I find it worrying that he criticised police funding being "spaffed* up the wall" for historical sex abuse investigations.

* I'd never heard of that term before, but it means ejaculated.

It deserves to be interred - putting it’s own interests above the country’s.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?

I don’t agree with this statement (as I understand how our Parliamentary system works), but it’s amusing how these things come back to haunt people...

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?

Sir John Major has launched a blistering assault on some Tory leadership candidates.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...ted-hypocrites

Quote:
Sir John Major has launched a blistering assault on Tory leadership candidates who have suggested parliament could be prorogued to push through Brexit, saying they were indulging in “gold-plated hypocrisy” and lacked leadership qualities.

He also ridiculed the suggestion, put forward by many Tory candidates, that it was possible to leave the EU on 31 October, saying they were hoping for a miracle that was not going to happen.
Quote:
“When you look back at British history, you cannot image Disraeli, Gladstone, Churchill or Thatcher, even in their most difficult period, saying ‘let us put parliament aside while I carry through this difficult policy’ … it is fundamentally unconstitutional … and to hear that argument come from the people who in the Brexit debate talked about parliamentary sovereignty being at stake, it is not just fundamentally distasteful, it is hypocrisy on a gold-plated standard.”
