So, if you don't like Boris......

He also did a lot of good work in N Ireland and in the Stephen Lawrence case I believe but, hey, let’s forget about that shall we?

Kier Starmer was head of the CPS when several allegations against Jimmy Saville were ignored by the CPS. But it was not his decision allegedly. No I wouldn't prefer him

Nicola Sturgeon impresses me beyond many politicians, not least because I love her suits and certainly because of her common sense!

None of the present bunch.Would not waste my shoe leather voting at all!

Is that because you “vote with your feet “?

I really believe that the government should have formed a coalition to deal with covid. There is no place for party politics in a crisis.

I agree

We said this from the start

“Many people pointing out that it's all very well to want rid of Johnson, but the candidates for succession aren't exactly comforting. Remember how we wanted Hancock gone? And look who we ended up with. It all goes to show how talentless this awful Vote Leave cabal really is.”

Andy Burnham got things done. I’d vote for him.
Jacinda Ardern would never cope with the UK ‘you can’t make me’ cohort.

In answer to your question,and with my view of once a tory always a tory WITH great difficulty.

Algegrias - I am sorry if my sense of humour offends you .
GreenGran78- I agree, but, sadly, we don't seem to breed politicians like Bessie Braddock these days, do we?

Not offended.

But your apology is accepted.

If it absolutely has to be a Tory, then Rory Stewart, if not then realistically, Keir Starmer. Personally I’d give Ed Balls the job - seems committed and compassionate.

I'm with Boris he's being sabotaged by the press ... I've heard it all now!!

I'm with Boris he's being sabotaged by the press. Tbh I think many people broke lockdown rules last year from all political parties and the general public too. He's doing a very difficult job in very difficult times.
I'll bet if one of the other parties wins a general election the press will hound them too and uncover several rules being broken

Speak for yourself! We stuck to lockdown rules as did most people we know. I wonder why a Johnson supporter would assume people break the rules? Hmmm

Rory Stewart

I like Andy Birnham, Urms. How would you rate him as Labour leader ? Yes, he's definitely waiting in the wings.

Sabotaged by the Press, really

so it is wrong, false, nonsense - or just pure FACTS.

They’ve been trying to dish the dirt on Keir for ages now and all they could come up with was his disabled mum’s donkey sanctuary.
Donkeys? He has gone up in my estimation. And I bought packs if Christmas cards to save donkeys this year. It must be a heavenly sign?

With Burnham wanting to challenge KS.

FAir enough.

The trouble is with Boris and all the tory party they want to cut public services including the NHS to replace it with a private healthcare like they have in America and it costs a fortune and gives lousy results cos they have shareholders they need to pay. The old, socialist NHS where we all got the same treatment according to need and paid according to earnings was best

Actually I bet that on the sidelines Burnham is biding his time before challenging Starmer for Labour Party leadership...

Jess Phillips that'll be, ex Refuge worker

What about the "down to earth" Angela Rayner ?

I like Nadhim Zaharia he seemed to get on quietly with the vaccination programme. I would give him a go at PM. For Labour can’t stand Starmer agree with others about Andy Burnham a swift by-election could get him back as a MP
I like Boris and Matt Handcock they did a good job with the start of covid , Corbin would still be denying it existed
