Well, there's 10 left in the race to be our next Prime Minister and voting starts tomorrow.

Who would you LIKE to be the next leader of the Tory party?

And who would you BET on?

The only good thing that could possibly come of Johnson’s premiership is that he will see off the Tory party for good.

Renee So, you’re blaming Jeremy Corbyn for your obnoxious husband becoming more of a bully than he always has been? ?

Firecracker123: ...time for a change someone with actual life experience who hopefully has the balls to stand up to the EU.

... someone with actual life experience... Meaning what exactly?
Also, ...*who hopefully has the balls to stand up to the EU.* You are not sure then?

It seems Boris has the balls to get into all sorts of problems.

How do you think Boris is going to stand up to the EU? Bully them?

I think Boris will win. But I still wish it was Raab. I think he is Maggie in trousers. A man of principle who resigned from the Cabinet - putting his money where his mouth is.

Perhaps your husband has got something right choosing to back the Labour Party, no one wants an obnoxious bully agree with you about that.

There has been and still is an awful lot of lies spread (did you know ?) in the newspapers to smear Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party.

And with all the other parties not worth much Lib Dems backing of Tories austerity etc. Labour have loads of excellent polices worth a look a fully costed manifesto. And will deal with climate change which is very urgent right now, with only 10 years to do something about it before catastrophic change.

Your husband would have a valid reasons to want to persuade you to vote Labour, just saying.

Article from 2017
In an interview with the Guardian Professor Noam Chomsky the radical intellectual threw his weight behind Jeremy Corbyn, claiming that Labour would be doing far better in opinion polls if it were not for the “bitter” hostility of the mainstream media. “If I were a voter in Britain, I would vote for him,” said Chomsky,

Johnson is avoiding tv interviews, reminds one of Corbyn
who refused to take part in any tv debates during the referendum campaign, he even went on holiday.

Greta nothing is certain only death.

Annie I studiously avoid your obsessive posts as I don’t think they are healthy either for you or the rest of us who have to keep reading them over and over. So please do try to keep them to the correct thread, then we know which ones to avoid. Thank you.

If Mr Johnston prorogues Parliament then Rory will be supported by of most people in the country . Our parliamentary democracy is too good to be treated as if it's disposable.

Elvive Fri 14-Jun-19 10:10:32

6 good things about Boris please anybody?

So far we've had " he's fun" so that can be number one.

GG, you start as you have inside knowledge due to your extensive contacts.

Do you really think the U.K. is so important the EU will cave so easily. Leaving aside the fact the U.K. has been so arrogant over Northern Ireland and the good Friday agreement it’s just disgraceful.

Elvive Fri 14-Jun-19 10:13:27

Oh hang on we have " a man of experience"

and " a man with balls".

We will easily reach 6 good things.

Anniebach Fri 14-Jun-19 10:16:08

No Whitewave. truth is truth and should not be stifled , once a belief in the Labour Party, sadly no longer

I’m not arguing with annie I see no point. All I’m gently suggesting is that you keep to the correct thread so that we don’t have to read the same thing over and over for 2 years now????.

We once had a poster by the name of Lilly65. She was often sneery about Urmstongrans apartment in Malaga.
Have you picked up the baton as Lilly65 seems to have left us.

Anniebach Fri 14-Jun-19 10:29:38

Petra I asked Elvive the same question, she chose not to reply

Labaik Fri 14-Jun-19 10:31:12

So Ch4 are going to leave a chair out for Boris. Perhaps they should put a tub of lard on it...I understand it was Boris who said these debates were great and everyone should take part. He seems to have forgotten that everyone can now access most things that people have said/written over the years...

Anniebach Fri 14-Jun-19 10:32:51

And all I did Whitewave was gently refuse your request

Callistemon Fri 14-Jun-19 10:34:06

^Johnson is avoiding tv interviews, reminds one of Corbyn

Oh, I wonder if Johnson thinks that is a good tactic, then - be enigmatic and you will win.

Callistemon Fri 14-Jun-19 10:36:01

Larry the cat is the best candidate-and he lives at Number 10 already!
Larry is rather like the Queen - sees Prime Ministers come and go grin
He has a few years to go to catch up with HM though.

Margs Fri 14-Jun-19 10:38:22

A pity Mister Blobby isn't in the race, but failing that why not Blundering Boris?

Imagine.......Donald Trump running the White House and Boris just running amok.

And they say you can't make it up.
