[FatticusInch]

Must be the London-based Russian faction of the party.

[Peter Pedant]

2000 isn't many
hi babies, early innit ( and that will be the last thing you understand from me today)

when Stalin (*) was told the Pope(+) had come out against him
he said: How many divisions does he have?

(*) who he den
(+) who HE den

Lemmings running for the sea - - the 2000
same number as Xenophons army ( no ten thousand)
as they run for the coast shouting Thalatta! Thalatta! - see Anabasis) it means they gonna get home

Boris: hello -salve, quis vocat?
Caller unuintelligible
Boris: Mrs who? I am terribly bad with names and who has done what
Caller - more unintelligible
Boris - my party - you would like to join my party
Boris doubtfully ( dubitendo or something) - chequers this week end? It is a rather expensive party - but you meet nice people who are going to go into the Lords
Caller meep meep meep etc
Boris Oh you are the widow of Gen Tarquin ponsonby goodbody smYthe? Tremendous fellow, I met somewhere - - yes yes at a funeral
Boris oh at HIS funeral - yes of course - de mortuis and all that
Boris - oh thank you thank you - £10 000? can you make it out to ...Carrie. No not Corrie that it somewhere "up north and all" as they say....

and the carousel wheels on

[Peter Pedant]

and the wheels of gubmint grind on, steered as we see by the Great and Good who are born to rule

( let it lie Peter, let it Lie)

[Khandro]

Add my name please.

I think he will try again for the leadership in a few years time… all his trumpist “deep state” language suggests he is trying to win over the loonies

[Untitled]

well… assuming he hasn’t had a massive heart attack before then

[douglas9401]

He already has the loonies, you only have to look on here, visualise their glazed eyes and little bit of drool escaping as they compose their prose.

[Bazile]

You mean he's going to be urgently zip wired
( to avoid the traffic ) , into the fray ?

[Untitled]

Most of the extremists in the party hate him for not being right wing enough… over the next few years he will crank up the nasty language about muslims or trans people or whoever the target minority of the day is… he’ll promote deceitful conspiracy theories about how he was unfairly ousted… then when the party is experiencing its next crisis (3 years seems to be the pattern) he’ll run again and get it.

[drmorgans]

I am attracted to the idea of it being like the snooker used to be; the contenders slug it out for the right to go toe-to-toe with the previous champion. Two months of the Tories tearing themselves apart and we're stuck with Bozo at the end of it anyway.

[Ellipsis]

A ballot paper with no names on it that you want to vote for? Welcome to my world, Tory party members ...

Do what I do. Spoil your paper. In your case, you could write "Boris Johnson" on it and post it back.

More spoilt papers than votes for the winner and the what the members want will be clear ...
