Think the votes are fixed .Should have gone to the Country to Elect New Leader

I watched Boris and Gove and Hunr and 2 others intervied.All an act.

They couldn't agree as members of the Cabinet under PM Teresa May.

Yet one of them wants to succeed her ? One of them will.

THEN WHAT ?

I wonder which two MP's spoilt their ballot papers? Perhaps Teresa May and Rory Stewart do you think?

I don't think any of the last three would be a good PM, and if Boris gets it we could end up a laughing stock like America with Donald Trump.

Kath. x

Kath well said. x we don't want a Trump oh no will know shortly next vote 6pm x

Gove has gone....good :-D

So Gove, the little rascal, is gone! :-(

The EU has been historical for several senior MP'a

Not least Neil Kinnock who an EU Commissioner in Brussels

Wonder why Rudd and Leadsome didn't have go ?

It's been hysterical too, David.

Kinnock jnr has been in the news recently ... something not quite kosher, from memory. To me, he's done his dash as far as leadership is concerned .... but I have not forgotten that this is a family who plays together. How he, she and junior jumped on the bandwagon is beyond my comprehension. Jobs for the boys is obviously not restricted to Bullingdon Club members.

Kinnock's slogan was vote for me boyos, I'll get you out of Europe

Well he lost the election and the leadership of the Labour party.

So he and Glynis off to Brussels where they each become Commissioners

making EU regulations that effect us. Earns more than the PM !!

Keir Hardie, et al, must be spinning in their graves :-(

OMG Allan, don't say you're old enough to remember Keir Hardie!

Next you'll be telling us you remember Manny Shinwell! :-D

Keir Hardie was a bit before my time, JoyLouise, as was Engels, but I can remember Mannie Shinwell :-D

Well, Trump will be laughing .......

....... he was tweeting that Theresa May should step down and let Boris take over weeks before she did.

He said that Boris was the best person to be PM.

It's going to be a laugh a minute, watching it all from across the pond.

We should listen to Trump then he is always right ;-) :-D

Trump signed off a US attack on Iran before he knew that the destroyed aircraft was a drone, albeit a very expensive one. Somebody in the chain of command had the wit to get the full facts before starting a war. Trump always right? Very rarely. He has the same problem as Bojo, disregard of the truth.

Bojo will find managing what remains a deeply divided Tory party extremely difficult. He has neither the people management skills nor the ability to work hard that the job requires.

Moreover, as with May, he will have to contend with running a minority government dependent on a greedy and difficult DUP.

There is no majority for his flagship brexit policy to which 10-20 Tory MPs are so opposed that they will block no deal and quite possibkly force a general election. The Tories have not a chance in hell of winning an autumn election.

Bojo should install a zipwire in the Commons for one of the steepest and quickest political descents from high office ever.

In July he is likely to visit the Queen and tell her that he can command a majority in the House. That is a sina que non to become PM.
Lie number 1 ?

David, the EU commissioners don't make the EU laws, that is done by the EU Parliament, which we did participate in electing.

Sorry about my mistake Kense. I didn't know.

Kinnock has however a lot of authority in his new role as has Glynis

I see Boris is in the news again.

What's your emergency?

It should be obvious now. When I posted it was just becoming news on the BBC site.

It is a bit concerning that neighbours are recording such stuff.
