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

Grany

I don’t like Polly Toynbee at all, and I wouldn’t believe a word that comes out if her mouth.

Boris Johnson in 2007, wrote about the "arrogance" and "contempt" of a party leader such as Gordon Brown stepping into the prime minister's shoes without a general election.

Rory possibly as long as its not *unt

Agree Urmstongran ?

Dear God, Boris Johnson!!! No no no no no no!!! Please please please please please! Don’t let that liar and cheating buffoon win!

Just watch Years and Years on BBC. a near future for the country I fear. Brilliant but terrifying and all to relevant

maddyone.

The state of this country after
after nearly 10 years of Tory rule which Polly Toynbee wrote about is in this instance spot on every word entirely true.

Born out by facts that can't be denied

Boris has the intellectual capacity to understand all the implications of Brexit. He is a man of compassion and strength in politics which is all that should matter. I look forward to taking back our sovereignty with a colourful and articulate leader to regain the respect of the world. Not ducking under the parapet but standing by my convictions, bring it on.

I am interested to see so many lefties in this group. it probably means most of you are younger than 75. I am one of the awful members of the Tory party and will be voting for one of the candidates. I am not certain who I will vote for until the end. I am amazed that hating the tories, which party is fit to govern. As intelligent, thinking women i am surprised that people would vote for Jeremy Corbyn to be PM. So back at you Tory haters.

Don't like Boris.....equals love Corbyn/Marxism

God it's pathetic.

I always thought that Max Hastings talked a lot of sense, Luckygirl!

However, sorry, but I cannot say the same for Polly Toynbee - what was it HM said about Princess Michael of Kent? - "She's far too grand for the likes of us"

Rory Stewart is currently seventh of the seven left in. There were seventy-odd votes between Boris and runner-up Jeremy Hunt, Gove running third, Javid and Raab quite low. But this is only the first round.
I didn't enthuse over Rory Stewart because as soon as I heard he was yet another Old Etonian, I remembered Cameron, Osborne and, yes! Boris, in their Bullingdon Club group photo.
Doubtless Stewart was bound for Sandhurst after Eton though.
Nothing against public school - I was one such member myself. But it is the traditional 'old-boys (Bullingdon-type) network' that is so rampant in the remnants of Tory MPs. Rees-Mogg another and so many more.
Whatever we may have thought of John Major, I think there was a lot to admire, apart from the Edwina problem.

peardrop50 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha........Boris is a man of integrity and compassion.......tell that to his friends, you know the ones whose 30 year old daughter is his mistress. Jesus wept.

Don't like Boris
Don't like Jeremy either

Where does that put me?

anniel thank you for your irrelevant and incorrect comment. I am not a 'leftie" I am a citizen concerned that my vote is being ignored,that my future is based on decisions made by ill informed prejudiced people like you.

Tillybelle

in croy a ble!

Rees-Mogg was asked about Boris's lack of 'moral compass' - and he replied it is not up to him to judge his personal life.
Asked about his mistress having to have an abortion, he replied again 'that he would not judge his personal life, and that it was nobody's business'

But I am pretty sure he judges the Mistress, and any woman who has had and will have, an abortion in the past and future- whatever the circumstances.

You are completely spot on Maisie. The party in power and the next P.M should be The Green Party or at least a party that understands the urgency of tackling climate change. After all, we're Grannies here, and most of us, I imagine are concerned by the possible future for our little ones......

How embarrassing makes me want to scream with frustration ???

Max Hastings sums Johnson up nicely, as did Matthew Parris on Newsnight earlier this week. He was very careful about what he said but he hinted that there were some more things set to be revealed about Johnson. But as we have read on here and seen in USZ with Trump, some voters care not for the behaviour of their candidate as long as they deliver what they (think) they want. I just cannot understand how any woman can vote for either Johnson or Trump.

Boris has memorised some Latin, he writes well and can be amusing.

Against that he is a serial cheat who does not read his briefing papers
and often uses language that I find offensive.

I would not want him to be making major decisions for all of us or representing this country on the world stage.

This does not mean that I like Corbyn. I can’t stand him either.

I'd like Boris to become the next PM. I think he's up to the Job out of those remaining in the race.

Boris but please not Esther

FF 's sake - sorry could not help it

Can I just emphasise that not wanting Johnson to be PM does not automatically mean I want Corbyn even though this is the choice that Johnson has said is the only one.
