WHO DO YOU FANCY FOR OUR NEXT PM, AND WHY?

I don’t think we have has a single PM since Ted Heath, would a girl/boyfriend actually be allowed to reside at No 10.

none of them, their management of the NHS< Education, social care is worse than dire. I expect it will be Boris.

I think the job of PM spouse should be to be quietly in the background, not influencing but being supportive.

Maybe Boris could get his Nanny out of retirement to 'keep an eye on him'.

You might as well ogle them, Muffin. They're not good for much else.

I have a large bet on Boris being the next PM and with his new other half keeping her eye on him, I think he'll do very well and much better than many people think.

It would depend on how long the new other half lasted though - for the rest of the duration of this parliament or will she be out of the door of No 10 after a couple of weeks?

I agree FarNorth - Phillip May didn’t do much of a job!
?

Wait, the thread is not about that sort of 'fancying'??

sorry my error

I have a large bet on Boris being the next PM and with his new other half keeping her eye on him, I think he'll do very well and much better than many people think.

Seriously. You expect a wife/partner to make sure the prime minister does the job properly?

I fancy Rory Stewart, I have quite the thing for offbeat boys

Andrea Leadsom did Blinko

They have been dodging the issue for three years,and have finally realised that they will have to do the right thing,which is recognising the referendum results.

If they don't and still attempt to block it again they will all be out down the shoot, because Farage will be in there with The Brexit party guaranteed and they're just beginning to know the inevitable!

Has any of them so much as mentioned their stance on Social Care? Thought not....

Yup luckgirl. I would love to see Johnson crash and burn and was equally delighted when that other liar Farage failed to win Peterborough.

Others have suggested revoking and then declaring a second Article 50, the EU could just say the previous deal stands and refuse to negotiate at all.
If we are going to use disruptive delaying tactics they will do the same.

Now that No Deal is back on the table a bullish approach to the EU should now be the order of the day. That said, the vote last night is only one moment of sanity in Parliamentary proceedings that have recently bordered on farce.

Let's hope that last night's vote was not a flash in the pan and that our Parliament will now vote to secure the Brexit that was voted for 3 years ago.

The EU has no authority to attach strings to revocation, David. We are able to unilaterally revoke and retain exactly the same terms we enjoyed (and still enjoy) before the referendum. That's what all the legal bods say.

Not 'journalist's wife', Annie. 'Journalist wife'; Sarah Vine, aka Mrs Gove.

You are assuming the EU will allow A50 to be revoked without strings, they are not going to allow UK to restart the whole issue in 6 months time, they want an end to it as well and the ball is in our court. However revoking does not seem to be on the table at the moment.

That aside, yes crashing out will be years of uncertainty.

It would be fun, indeed, Luckygirl

No one of them - or indeed any other Tory MPs as far as I can see - has anything useful to say about the seriously poor, the homeless, and so many other groups in our society whose quality of life is zilch. I believe that they simply do not have the wit to imagine the way some people are forced to lead their lives; and nor do they care.

The Tories would lose a GE and they know it, but hanging onto power is their priority.

Wouldn't it be fun to see Boris lose? - I apologise for this very unkind question - but it would be fun, wouldn't it?

Oh that's interesting about Javid not being invited to the State Banquet. Credit to him for not making a fuss. What a bloody shower

Who was the journalist’s wife ?

I have just seen that, re Javid and the lack of invitation to the state banquet. "Home Secretaries are not normally invited"
Really?

But both Goves attended and Mordaunt along with other members of the Cabinet - surely a Home Secretary is further up 'the pecking order' than either of those ministers (and journalist wife?)
