Being endorsed by His Tonyness is the death knell for anyones aspirations.

He's right about one thing though, Cob can't win without abandoning traditional labour policies, and he'd know!

//You suddenly offer them a revolutionary alternative from the left, what makes you think the people who voted Tory are suddenly going to go for that? It's a bizarre analysis of their psyche.'//

After the whole Brexit fiasco,trust in any of our MP's is such that nobody can have any confidence in what is being offered to the electorate.

Neither of the main parties have stuck to their manifestos so why should we believe anything anymore?

What a shocking state of affairs it is when we're faced with the possibility that we may have to choose between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn to be Prime Minister.

Tory leadership contests are like grand nationals. The favourite almost never wins.
The problem Johnson has is large numbers of Tory MPs loathe him and his “treachery” at voting for the deal last week makes him yet another “enemy of the people” in some eyes now.

// and his “treachery” at voting for the deal last week makes him yet another “enemy of the people” //

..and the fact that he bottled out of the job when Cameron went because he didn't want to sort of the mess he could see was coming, that he'd been instrumental in creating.

He did stand for the leadership did he not? Luckily Michael Gove sabotaged him before sabotaging himself :-)

Is Bliar trying to pull a double bluff in the hope that Boris will get the job?

[ludwig]

I might be wrong, but I don't think he did. I though he didn't get the support of Gove so he didn't stand. Something I saw as an excuse at the time, probably cooked up by the pair of them.

[jno]

why would he want Boris to get the job, dannyk?

[ichkeria]

I think Ludwig Boris was one of the “Five beat the **** out of each other” :-)
Johnson, Gove, Crabbe, Leadsom, May
I wonder what they’ll call volume two (!)

[ichkeria]

More likely trying to kill Boris with a kiss I’d say

On our local news this evening it was said that when there is a leadership contest our local M.P. Mark Harper may well throw his hat in the ring.
