Who will replace May?

1922 chairman in Neil , looking very unhappy. Terrified of another election. He who speaks with forked tongue

In 2010, when Mayor of London, Boris got the job done of removing barriers on London Bridge because they were ugly.

Boris wanted the Garden Bridge, and would probably start it again as a vanity project if he became PM.

Does your husband know you consider him a kind of Boris? Poor man.

Boris does things without thinking. He made things up when he was working in Brussels. In other words he is a serial liar.
I really think being PM deserves someone more serious.
Perhaps he should become UK ambassador in Washington. I think there's still a vacancy.

I see you have a follower dj

Neil has a very balanced panel I see. Not !!!

Surely the point is, we British are very different from our European cousins. They simply don't "get" us - our quirkiness and our sense of humour. I'm not saying our fundamental values aren't similar, but our country needs someone a bit more charismatic and transformational.

Boris would be fine for me. He communicates (in several languages as has been said), in addition he is a man of action not just words and if an idea don't hold water, (his infamous Wasserwerfer), he is happy to laugh at himself and move onto the next thing. "Stable" may not be his favourite way of governing, but up against the likes of Trump he would be able to spring surprises and give as good as he gets. Boris transcends traditional politics and his appeal to Joe Bloggs in the East End of London equalled his popularity to the toffs and dolls of Knightsbridge, therefore he can employ this like-ability/charm around the world.

My DH is a kind of Boris and though he is selfish, puffed up and infuriates some, he does get the job done and underneath is prepared to apologise when he messes up. Maybe the Conservative party should have chosen Boris first time round. I'm sure if he does become leader he won't entertain all this backwards and forwards nonsense we see currently and he would be a forceful, effective figure for the Opposition.

So why did you tell me about Snowdonia?
I get it - one of your more important things to do is follow me on GN and criticise everything I say.

I never suggested she was walking in Snowdonia, I said the Welsh hills.
Do you not have any hills in Wales?

I've no faith in any of the potential Tory leaders. The only Conservative who is speaking any sense is Michael Heseltine. The people did vote in June 2016 but the people are as fickle as ever; the electorate screwed UKIP and that must say something. To replace TM at this time would be political suicide for the Tories at the moment.

Listening to Michael Fallon on Andrew Marr. The government is still in hock to UKIP, the Brexiteers still fail to understand that a hard Brexit is plain stupid. As for the DUP they are not to be trusted by anyone.

Parliament must assert its authority and restore some sanity to the wretched business.

I don't follow her moves Jen, have far more important things and people to concentrate on

Is that where she is, Annie?

He was an MP who wrote a book about how to win a marginal seat. I think the new Labour MP must have read it.
He was housing minister who built very few houses.
He sounds like a safe bet not to advise Mayhem.

dd yes "Mays a dead woman walking -it's just a question how long she'll be on death row". Wonderful -Sweet revenge from Osborne

Snowdonia is a mountain range not a hill

She's appointed Gavin Barwell as her advisor. He's a staunch Remainer and one of the more softer Conservatives.

Did anybody see Heseltine and Osborne on Marr?

The other thing we have to think about it is will the British voter tolerate yet another unelected PM?

She is going to be told what is going to happen on Tuesday at the 1922 meeting.

The behind the scenes men in charge will take over now.

Trying to decide who she wants as her assistant in number 10?
Who she thinks should take over when she retires? Lots of bits of paper in a hat for that one.
Gone for a walk in the Welsh hills?

By the way where is May?! She's back to her default setting of acting like a submarine

Voters want centre politics , the election results show this, no party had a majority and UKIP cannot be blamed

Another consequence of the election is that Labour can stop being frit about Ukip tanks in their northern heartlands. They're more concerned about the effects of austerity than Brexit.

It's all very interesting!!

Maybe we'll have a second referendum after all, with a more honest campaign and with the knowledge of hindsight. In that case, the LibDems will have been the winners of the election. Oh the irony!

A couple of million 18 and 19 year olds might make a big difference.

They have no choice annie the voter has made it clear

But what do you mean by a "softer" Brexit? It would appear the majority of people want to stay in the single market. Staying in the single market means freedom of movement. The Norwegian and Swiss models have been ruled out in the past. TBH it's about Hard Brexit or No Brexit. The EU will not accept cherry picking.

Recent polls are apparently showing that every suggested leader would make the Conservatives would be even less popular than they are with May.

What chaos!

Does seem moving from the far right is the way for them

I suspect that hard Brexit is like May toast, and a softer Brexit is almost certain now.

We are winning folks

I suspect that the split in the Tory party is one with people like Ken Clarke, Soubry etc against people like Davis, Fox and Farage types.

I think we can begin to judge the changing mood in the Tory party by the ascendance of various figures. So May new chief of staff is a strong remainer.

If the rumour is true and there is a deputy PM appointed after Tuesday, can we assume they will be on trial for the real job?
