Just breaking on BBC

Ich, I'll not respond to your first sentence other than to say that coming from you it's disingenuous. However, I do agree that the madness has to stop and in the circumstances I think Rishi has the best chance of stopping it.

// I'm into getting a PM that might actually want to deliver what the public demand. //

Did you read Boris’ 2019 election manifesto?
He hasn’t delivered much of that in the last 2 years

[naomi24]

He's been a bit busy in other areas, gromit.

[perseverer]

If the three line whip on the fracking vote had gone ahead, and Boris was in the Caribbean on holiday and failed to vote, would he have lost the whip and not been eligible for the leadership nomination?

[Peter Pedant]

Boris doesn’t “do” national interest… he does Boris’ interest.

Ay em certain thet is the case
His old teachers must be cringing at the damage he has done to the Old School. Ay will not vote for any Etonian, it is like trusting a convict with your money

[Peter Pedant]

He's been a bit busy in other areas, gromit

[Peter Pedant]

Ich, I'll not respond to your first sentence

PP, //Normal day on AB then //

Yep! You're deliberately misrepresenting me as usual. Definitely a normal day on AB.

[perseverer]

Is JRM still insisting Boris will stand, or has he caught up yet?

[Peter Pedant]

er at the risk of a punitive ssspension

there is a response that begins: I'll not respond to your first sentence

which to my simple mind, I am willing to be corrected, is a response and not-a-response at the same time,

but ho hum I am just little old me
