Boris. Oh Good that why I'm a Tory.

Sorry to take you up on it. Couldn't resist.

that to WW

To some extent Elvive

But not entirely.
?

No problem. Does me good to be reminded???

Urmstongran I am far more worried about the likelihood of JC becoming PM, a momentum run UK would see investors leaving these shores!!!

Have no idea who I prefer out of the candidates, they all have flaws.

What "messenger" ? Me?

I only threw a stone in the water

I really love honest straight talking Boris is with his spiel how the deserving hard working poor are better off as Tories.

Oh yes, Boris! How our Island is to be towed off across the Atlantic to Trumpland

I hope JC does win the next GE, which going by the polls I think he will as there's nothing to choose between any of them.
Everyone seems to get a good run for their money when Labour are in power by doling out other people's hard-earned. Let's give it a try, hahahaha.

They're all seemingly going to break eggs with a big stick according to the yapping that goes on so how worse can any one party be than the one we have at the moment ?

This is such an abhorrent and transparent attempt to woo the party members - it's the wealthy pensioners who will benefit from this.

Jacob Rees Mogg is supporting Boris Johnson. Asked whether BJ wasn't "a bit of a cad" he told the interviewer "I'm not as old fashioned as you are. I'm a modern figure in British politics. The reality is people's marriages fail". He then went on to heap praise. YUK!

Well, that's the first I've heard that Roman Catholics approve of serial philandering Not to mention lying, racism and aiding and abetting punishment beatings...

Does JRM know the meaning of the word 'hypocrite'?

As they are all hypocrites and self serving scum the only way out of this mess they landed us in is to vote for someone else .Now I know Labour aren't popular here and I'm not a supporter of them either but lets face it the UK as a whole was better run under the Blair government .Regardless of the spin that JC is a communist or "far left" if you actually READ his policies you'll find he's much more right wing than you would believe .He is far removed from the socialism I grew up with .

Just read what Johnson’s tax cuts mean in practicality.

For those on £80k plus an extra £6000 a year or an extra £115 per week. For those on less than £50k they gain zilch but they will contribute towards the £9.4bn the tax cuts will cost.

That poor woman in prison was increased because of his bumbling mouth If that happened in any job other than government it would have been the instant dismissal
I can’t bear the thought of ANY of them including JC running ( or should that be ruining) the country any more than it’s already been ruined
We are in a big big pickle

Urmonsongran your comment:

And yet Labour loves claimants and Labour loves idle town hall bureaucrats and Labour loves idling workers in the public services, and Labour loves all the failing nationalised industries, because everyone who's idle and failing votes Labour. Left me openmouthed. Is this meant to be funny and I missed the cue? So by idling workers in the public services do you mean teachers, nurses, teachers, police officers, firefighters?
It is when I read comments like yours that I begin to realise why we are in the mess we are in.

Oh good that will mean more police on the streets, more teachers and nurses, improved social care and early years services , oh no got that one wrong.

Varian Jacob Rees-Mogg has shown himself to be another one more interested in looking after his own career than anything else. I always thought he was a staunch Catholic and very anti-abortion and presumably anti divorce? So, why can he now throw these principles aside to back Boris who has fathered children out of wedlock, tried to force a mistress to have an abortion and has had one divorce and presumably another one lined up? I always thought JRM old fashioned but principled, obviously I was wrong.

You are so right about this.

Sorry - that was supposed to be a response to GillT57.

I do not understand all these offers of sweeteners to the voting public. All these people are standing as candidates to lead the Conservative party and, for the time being, be prime minister.

Their electorate is members of the party and MPs. their the ones whose vote they want, I cannot vote for the person whose sweeteners most appeal to me, assuming I want to, because I do not belong to the Conservative party.

GillT57, I agree with every word - JRM is a total hypocrite - I’m incensed that someone who says he lives by one set of morals is happy to support someone who lives by the opposite set. Absolutely disgusting. ?

I've put a bet on Boris becoming the next PM. IMO he appeals to a crass cross section of society and his chameleon-like persona goes down well with lots of voters.

Why do we always hear about teachers, police, nurses and fire fighters?
Those jobs are always wheeled out as being the ones deserving of pay rises.
It gets tedious.

urmstongram, your claim that no deal is a legal default is not correct. See this:Legal research blog
