Next Tory Leader & May's Exit Date (2019)

[greenmark]

If Johnson continues to collect support and opponents drop out, presumably if they all drop out then he will be PM in June.
Oh and enjoyed the exchange between Superfrank and ShaunWhite.

[ShaunWhite]

Here's an idea frank...how about a foreign leader. It's worked for prem football ?

Shaun -you've got the kenwood out today - lol.

Fresh blood, new tactics, smash the existing system, and some strong managers nearing the end of their contracts like Trudeau or Merkel. It's worked for Man City and the Bank of Engand. Even Farage brought in a German to be his lifelong #2. Lets see Britain PLC run like a proper business for a change. Blue sky thinking, what's not to like

Actually its a KitchenAid, sat next to the Dualit espresso machine, you forget I was a claret socialist, not a grubby common one.

[Archangel]

I hope whoever gets in brings the UK out of the EU with no deal.

There's always Dead Ringers 6:30pm, Radio 4

Just imagine if Spitting Image would return...........they'd have a field day!

Steptoe Corbyn and Aabacus Abbott
Jimmy Krankie Sturgeon
Boris and various Tories
Horrible little Sadiq Khan
Trump
Macron, Merkel
Not to mention Farage and of course journalists like Jon "I've never seen so many white people" Snow

It would be hilarious, albeit libellous

[greenmark]

Join the Tory party for 2.09 a month. And have a vote? Probably not.

Can't help thinking its goodbye to a United Kingdom unless they get this mess resolved soon.

As an Englishman living in England I can't see what Scotland and NI bring to the table. At least Wales bring rugby and song (Welsh father )

John Major signed us up to Maastricht - that was a massive change and we should have had a referendum on it like other countries did.

Also Lisbon much of which will be effected in the next few years and I agree with your other comments in that post. We must get Brexit sorted because it's draining all resources from other issues so we need the leader who is most likely to finish it.

no sign of great 'new deals' yet I'm sure you'll agree, but early days … 2 years to negotiate an exit

Come on Shaun you know they cannot publicly negotiate a trade deal with another country until they leave the EU but I'm sure they are talking behind closed doors (if not I would like Dr Fox to justify his salary) and a negotiation period is not how long you have been talking but how much time is left … negotiations stretch out to the period allocated to them because sides don't move position until the end. I'm sure they could have reached Mrs May's deal in 24 hours if they had to.

If Brexit precipitates the breakup of the United Kingdom then it will be worth it, as far as I am concerned anyway..

And I'm sure the same could be said for Eire until it got its independence from Westminster....

Anyway, Rory is pseudo Scottish - Go Rory Go!

why do you want the uk to break up/believe its a price worth paying?

[dragontrades]

Boris has pulled out of the race after being flattened by a bulldozer at Heathrow.
Got to lay him at these prices

[Dallas]

Given the recent political markets I've taken the view that everything is worth taking on to some degree at short prices

[Archangel]

The trouble with that market is that theres no one within a mile of Johnson in the prices. Not much of a leadership contest really

[Dallas]

I'm not sure why it is exactly but something about Rory Stewart's campaign so far make me think he could do well
Currently at 22.0

Rory Finished rd1 with the lowest number of votes but is now the 2nd fav

[greenmark]

Krishnan jus crushed Rory's big point.
No deal means his constituents businesses have to buy raw materials at £2k but will have to sell at £2.7k. And that's not feasible.
