Jacob Rees-Mogg Moves For Conservative Party Leadership.

I remember Alec Douglas Home seeming like a dinosaur when I was a student. I can't believe that in the 21st century the Tories are still digging them up. Not that it will bother me because nothing would ever induce me to vote for them after the Brexit debacle.

Anyway, I am off to water my garden. In that it may well represent the future fate of the centre MPs in the Tory party, known as "wets" in Maggie Thatchers days

Grandad

Can you put a link or state where Jacob Rees Mogg has said the things in your OP.

I am certainly not saying your OP is mistaken but to agree / disagree or debate the points raised it would be ideal to hear or read his words to understand the tone or context of what you are reporting about him.

Thanks

Lemongrove, your view of the Conservative Party was largely destroyed by varions posting above @ 19:58 today so I will not repeat those very true statements.

Oh - I thought varian's post was jocular - certainly it cannot be taken seriously!

If Jacob R-M wants to become PM would he not first have to bring a motion of no confidence in Theresa May?

all MPs have ambition to be Ladder of their party and prime Minister, that is why the go into politics in the first place.

No one wishes to be an "also ran" in what ever profession or occupation they join.

I don't agree with either statement Grandad. Many who become MPs want to do their best for their constituents, some may wish to achieve high office and a very few may want to become PM.

And as for the second statement - being a valuable member of a team without necessarily being 'team leader' is not the same as being an also-ran.
That would define the majority of the population who are not the PM or the top person in their chosen walk of life as 'losers', 'undistinguished' or 'unsuccessful'.

Lemon, keep posting as you wish to, no one can speak for us all when decided what you should or shouldn’t post

Not all MP’s wish to be leader of their party - fact

Anyway, I am off to water my garden
I think the forecast is for rain tonight

Hope they work for you POGS as they are through links on Google Newstand that I always use for a mixture of interests

Now I am definitely off to water my garden while it is still light.

It mustn’t rain untill Friday, my volunteer eco gardeners are coming tomorrow to work on my wild flower meadow.

Wonder how many would join the Tory party if they sold votes for three quid.

"nothing would ever induce me to vote for them after the Brexit debacle."

I find that amusing. One would hope you are a Green or a Lib Dem then?

Please don't tell me you could vote for Labour after the

a) anti-semitism disgrace
b) lack of condemnation for Russia in the poisonings outrage (when all of Europe and the USA stood beside us in condemnation)
c) Trans-women and self ID slap in the face for women
d) dithering as to whether they want in or out of the EU.
e) wishy-washy regard for the security of the UK and defence policies.
f) hard left/Marxist control at all levels of the party
g) deselection (and harassment) of moderate members standing for election

Are you asking me Day6? ?

Annie
Just that I had said what I wanted to say about JRM and there wasn’t really any more to add to it.

Does anyone think that Labour ( or rather the Leader) doesn’t want Brexit?
Cameron, and for that matter T May wanted to Remain but have to honour the result as promised and Corbyn thinks the same ( for different reasons, a Socialist agenda.)
That list Day6 Quite something isn’t it?

Corbyn has always wanted out, now it depends which way the wind blows, he wants to be all things to all people, such a sweetie ?

such a sweetie
I thought about Jeremy today when I was jam-making because I would welcome his advice about setting point.
It would be no good asking Jacob's opinion because I expect his nanny makes his jam.

I think the affection he has for nanny is lovely, ?,

What about Lord Lucan, then?

Why, have they found him??

I think it seems quite obvious now that SJ is astutely and clearly setting out his stall for PM - he’s terribly good at promising the world whilst never quite getting round to delivering it.

Lord Lucan thought he was battering his wife to death. Just can’t trust husbands can you? As Mrs Corbyn 1 and Mrs Corbyn 2, discovered.

JC battered two wives to death?

Or thought he was?

His present wife looks very pleasant.
Why does she remain invisible?

Perhaps the present Mrs Corbyn spends time in Mexico with her coffee bean business

The problem is for the Tories and their supporters would be that Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party, whatever their perceived problems do not form the British government.

Theresa May following her outright failure to gain an overall majority in the 2017 General election, then bought power from the UDP in one of the most "seedy" deals in the history of British politics which has an ongoing cost to mainland taxpayers of well over a billion pounds. However, even in that the Tories have not been able to bring about a stable Government in the UK by creating any unity in their parliamentary party that has been able to bring forward a concerted negotiating position in the Brexit talks.

In the above, the position has deteriorated even further in recent weeks as once again we have witnessed the cabinet deeply divided with Theresa Mays own Foreign Secretary describing one part solution put forward as "stupid".

Is it any wonder then that the extreme right of the conservative party has decided to make a bid for power at this time. Jacob Rees-Mogg and his supporters have without doubt looked on as Momentum, the Trade Unions and Jeremy Corbyn have reshaped the policies and direction of the Labour party and the wider Labour movement in the country to create a party of over half a million strong.

The ageing and dwindling Tory membership and supporters can do little at this time, but try to turn attention onto the Labour party as they witness their organization's unity and structure slip away before their eyes.

However, as stated it is not the Labour party that is in government in Britain, it is the Conservatives with their purchased power, and they are falling apart as all in the Uk can see.

In the office today, so, finished my coffee and now back to work
