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?

Who on earth could have predicted that the Tory party would basically dissolve and we would be at each others throats , all because of that arrogant little twerp Cameron?

Where is he now?

Well, unless we revoke A50, David, it's going to go on for years and years and years... Crashing out would just be the start of it...

No way Javid will get it, have you seen the way the Tories treated him over the state banquet?

GrannyGravy13 Thu 13-Jun-19 10:12:06

I agree with your last sentence Davidhs

Be sure the EU can’t and won’t change, they are not going to betray the other 27 members and cause chaos, half the countries would say we want a special deal too.

Those who believe that are clutching at straws the EU wants a customs union deal but if we don’t agree they will stand whatever pain is inflicted.

Myself, I just want it to end

Were you shouting there jura? grin
Or yodelling?

Sajid Javid?
On the grounds that no-one is perfect but the rest are worse.

Gonegirl Thu 13-Jun-19 09:44:32

I want Boris. Because I want to watch the fun.

As for the "shouting" - you are all such herd followers! grin

grumppa Thu 13-Jun-19 09:42:24

The last straw was my MP backing Boris. Hunt is the least ghastly of a dreadful bunch, in spite of the mess he made of the NHS. Or Javid.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If the Tories continue to exist then I suggest Andrea Leadsom. Her recent interview was cool, calm and collected with no hype.

GillT57 Thu 13-Jun-19 09:23:21

Johnson is morally bankrupt and I am sickened that people are so desperate for Brexit that they are prepared to foist this awful man on the rest of us

MaizieD Thu 13-Jun-19 09:10:12

I can use bold on my phone, firecracker ; it's just cheapo old android. I'm sure you could do it if you tried...

Anyway, contempt for forum manners is not a good look...

MaizieD Thu 13-Jun-19 09:06:30

No-one knows the actuality of events post Brexit. It's supposition, not fact.

It's that stupid 'no-one's got a crystal ball' mantra again, isn't it?

If you don't know what's going to happen in the future why the hell did you vote Leave to swap the known for the unknown angry?

(tempted to rewrite that in capitals grin )

Grany Thu 13-Jun-19 09:06:26

None of them, the nasty party

Rory did not back Labour's no deal Brexit, as government wins by 11 points

Firecracker123 Thu 13-Jun-19 09:03:01

Perhaps Lyndiloo feels like shouting does it matter. I post on my phone and can't use bold type.

On most online forums the convention is that capital letters = shouting.

bold for emphasis

Where on earth did it all go so wrong. I suppose some academic will come up with an answer eventually, but I don’t think we deserve what we are getting.

GabriellaG54 Thu 13-Jun-19 08:56:36

Lyndiloo
There are 10 up for grabs.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 13-Jun-19 08:55:16

Davidhs, of course we have had several eleventh hours under Theresa May.

With a new "leave PM", if/when we leave with no deal on the 31/10 I think the EU will realise that the UK is serious and a new deal will emerge pretty dam quick.

jura2 Thu 13-Jun-19 08:54:24

MaizieD for PM.

And yes, if we have to have someone else - Stewart is the best of an amazingly horrifyingly awful lot.

Firecracker123 Thu 13-Jun-19 08:53:17

Boris for PM, in my opinion he is the only one who will get us out of the EU on the 31st October fingers crossed deal or no deal.

Davidhs Thu 13-Jun-19 08:51:00

We’ve had several 11th hours already be sure the EU will stand firm, it’s Boris that will have to bend

GrannyGravy13 Thu 13-Jun-19 08:46:15

I like to think that Boris saying we shall definitely be leaving on 31/10 will help to secure an eleventh hour deal with the EU.

dragonfly46 Thu 13-Jun-19 08:45:18

There is not an ounce of integrity in any of the present MP’s over all parties and it would seem that the most self-serving of all of them will be voted in. I am ashamed of what our country has become.
