Who? I can't think of anyone ...

Boris is a racist, well documented philanderer and liar who thinks spending money on bringing justice to sexually abused children is akin to ejaculating up a wall and a bit of a malarchy. He ran away from his second term as Mayor to pursue his parliamentary ambitions and whilst a Mayor was well known for being lazy, paying no attention to detail and wasting vast amounts of tax payers money on a bridge and water canons inter alia. He supported leave in the referendum because he was sure Remain would win and he’d become PM. His ashen face told the story the next morning and he couldn’t run away from the consequences of his action quickly enough. So yes, of course he’d be a great leader - he’s certainly representative of all that is putrid and corrupt in the modern day Conservative party

Nicenanny Boris does not have charisma. I saw him once at St Pancras and he just looked a scruff. He is a turncoat and self serving. He only voted Brexit because he thought it would be good for his career. He had two votes in his pocket - one Brexit and one Remain. It shows just how committed he was. He is a buffoon.

I think Boris has charisma and I also quite like Dominic Raab.

I admit I have a ‘thing’ about dignity . Boris has not a scrape.

Well according to the odds Boris is the favourite which says it all really. I think it is time to emigrate to Europe!

Amber Rudd 25/1

Anja Thu 21-Mar-19 15:54:20

Sajid Jarvid 11/1

Anja Thu 21-Mar-19 15:53:05

Kit Malthouse 150/1

Anniebach Thu 21-Mar-19 15:52:01

I rather like Amber Rudd

Anniebach Thu 21-Mar-19 15:50:18

I know little of Tory MP’s. It was said recently Sajid Javid had an eye on the top job

Another vote for Philip Hammond. Closely followed by Rory Stewart.

Alima Thu 21-Mar-19 15:38:38

Yes, Kit Malthouse. Seems a genuine bloke but hasn’t had that much experience as an MP as yet.

GabriellaG54 Thu 21-Mar-19 14:48:01

Nah...I'm always right. No probs.
I never take any notice of your chat nowadays as you bore me.
I like fresh thinking, not yesterday's manna served cold.

MaizieD seems to have all the answers so she thinks

Ooooh. Did I hear my name?

Are you waiting for me to put you right, GG54?

Dominic Grieve would be my first choice but Ken Clarke would be a good choice as caretaker PM until after a GE.

GabriellaG54 Wed 20-Mar-19 17:55:39

MaizieD seems to have all the answers so she thinks but perhaps Lady Colin Campbell would be better.
Outspoken and part of the LBGQT community. Kills 3 birds.

Nicenanny3 Wed 20-Mar-19 17:41:17

Dominic Grieve is a weasel.

GillT57 Wed 20-Mar-19 17:37:21

nicenanny time for a little lie down, you are obviously feeling the strain of all this Brexit business. The thought of any of the current cabinet as PM worries me greatly. Dominic Grieve would get my vote if asked.

jura2 Wed 20-Mar-19 17:26:25

you would .....

trust? them???

Nicenanny3 Wed 20-Mar-19 17:24:18

Gavin Williamson, Boris, Jacob Rees Mogg.

jura2 Wed 20-Mar-19 17:21:46

LOL nooo- but it is complicated enough- so best to stick to one party at a time ;)

PamelaJ1 Wed 20-Mar-19 17:09:58

So sorry Jura. Wrist slapped.

jura2 Wed 20-Mar-19 17:04:52

For another thread really- This one is about Conservative Leader.

aggie Wed 20-Mar-19 17:03:52

all equally faceless and inept ???? aye there the rub !
