Integrity trumps personality. Do you disagree?

Having both is fine, and you can have integrity without personality, but personality without integrity ... in the Prime Minister ... is a recipe for chaos and disaster. Just think of everyone you know that has personality without integrity. It never works.

We've gnawed the bones incessantly, ellipsis, and I've disagreed with much of what's been said by those who shout the loudest about integrity - most of whom, in my view, have proven themselves to be completely devoid of that much lauded personality trait. They've got what they wanted and still they gnaw which is quite bizarre really. Time to bring on the next candidate and see how he or she fares with the self-professed great and the good. Let's hope there's a sturdy tin hat available.

Oh god :0) this must be just for footfall now, or should I say click-fall. No one just no one can be that blind. Can they?

[Ellipsis]

This thread is about somebody who's putting themselves forward as the next candidate, Naomi, and it's interesting that her approach, far more than any of the other candidates, is less personality culture, more team player. A leadership promo video where the candidate isn't mentioned until the very end certainly stands out ...

[Atheist]

Naomi; I don't think that those who want to see the back of Johnson have quite won yet. He's a slippery customer and hasn't resigned as PM.
There's a history on AB of 'winners' crowing and taunting 'losers'. I'm thinkg about the Brexit referendum result. I don't find it bizarre, just sad that the ideal of magnanimous winners trying to reunite the country seems not to appeal to some.

[pimplyteen]

Boris always had a tin hat on. Oh god:0)

[pimplyteen]

Oh god, wait and see, Boris will still be in power.........:0)

[naomi24]

Ellipsis, yes it is about someone putting herself forward as the next candidate, and no doubt her approach will interest some.

If your campaign team can’t even get the launch video right I’m afraid it does not augur well for the future.

[Gromit]

Her video doesn’t really say much. It doesn’t offer any hope to the wider country, it doesn’t suggest any change of policy or change of direction. It doesn’t say what she’ll actually do. But it does have a lot of flags.

Using people’s images without their permission is a very basic error. Having to make several edits on the first day it is published does not bode well for her competence.

tory base have been radicalised by "gender critical" loonies in last few years and made trans people the centre of their pathetic "war on woke" so penny's failure to take a hostile attitude to trans people will sadly harm her... ditto Grant Shapps.
