Most of the Conservative MPs are intelligent , I must suppose. I am not being sarcastic, I truly dont know why they want Johnson.

newnanny- have you ever severely injured a child- broken bones, concussion,,or worse- beating them at Ludo?

There is a good reason why rugby is played within age groups- as in any responsible club or school. GD is 9 and is the youngest in under 11s- she does not play with her brother who is in under 14s- and should never be confronted at full pelt by a fat bully like Johnson. The comparison is just nonsense.

Boris did not rugby tackle child, he just pushed him. I am pretty sure if Boris had wanted to hurt child he could have by tackling him properly. I still think Boris is going to win and lead us out of EU by Oct 31st. He has just added he will put more police on the streets. There is a lot of knife crime so that is good.

Boris has said a lot of things. Whether he will fulfill his promises is a completely different matter.

Anyone who believes anything at the moment that Boris and Jeremy are saying really needs to give their head a wobble. Does anyone else keep having to remind themselves that this election is neither a General Election or a Presidential Election or is it just me?

But it is a selection process for our next PM, so it doesn't get much more important than that smile

suzi ?absolutely. They have spent billions upon billions in their spending plans and that without factoring in the no deal cost.

This is The summer of Lies

Grandad - the election is for the leader of the Conservative Party. This man will become PM but of a country that had a General Election 2 years ago based on a manifesto which was put to the electorate. The ‘promises’ these men are making are being put to party members alone and the rest of us whatever party we support, cannot express our opinions through a vote. The only thing these candidates should be discussing is the detail of implementing the referendum result - not tax changes, NI changes , fox hunting or anything else for that matter.

Hmm, that is a good point Suzie, and well put.
