She and her approach are so bad hundreds of thousands of people are going to march through London tomorrow Tom. Her own MPs are briefing against her. Nobody is listening any more. No leader could survive this.
Hilary Benn: don't care how but this should happen soon or later. Nevertheless, the poor bloke seems to have aged massively since being made Chair of the Exiting the European Union Select Committee: can't imagine why.
Wibble you can just take it as read retainers are aware that wibble of rof doesn't care about the petition or the march or Brexit, and save yourself the trouble of repeatedly posting how little you care.
Boris currently has the best odds of being the next PM on Betfair which is a pretty good estimate of what the market thinks. Followed closely by Gove and Corbyn in that order.
Then a big gap and then Hunt Javid and Raab and then a huge gap and everyone else
hmm. I maybe should reactivate my Facebook account and see what one of my hardcore Pro-Brexit, contributes posts to ConHome and donates to Tories hedge fund friend thinks. He’s a good barometer of the Hanners style Tory who wants the UK to become Singapore in Europe..
He needs to be in the two candidates put by MPs to the membership in order for the ‘grassroots popularity’ to come into effect and there are simply too many MPs in the ‘anyone but Boris’ camp
Has to be a man this time in my view. Public school, properly dressed, understands business, but with the common touch too - goes to festivals, plays on his phone, sticks his cock in a pig's head. Big red face. Someone like that.
Boris has no real support amongst Conservative MPs. He is also a bully, a snob, a liar, a cheater, an incompetent, an egotistical windbag and above all yesterday’s man.
The ONLY reason Boris’s name is always cited is because certain foreign newspaper proprietors have bought him and rather like the idea.
Grieve would be a sound choice but he’s not a unifier.
BoJo will be there or there abouts because he’s that rare creature - an electable Tory who appeals outside of the core vote.
However, so long as Corbyn is around they needn’t worry about whether or not they appeal outside the core vote, so it just needs to be someone the Tory party can unite behind.
Actually ^^^ whoever that was above could be right, Hammond could quietly come up on the inside of all the loud shouty expected candidates, John Major style.
I'd prefer it to be someone boring and sensible (ish) seeming - before anyone says it, no one paying attention to TMPM's previous ministerial career could have called her that. At least she stopped Boris tho
"After reports that cabinet ministers were plotting to force May out and would seek to force her hand in Monday’s cabinet meeting, the chancellor told Sky News’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday that Conservatives colleagues were “very frustrated” and “desperate to find a way forward”.

Hammond said changing prime minister would not “solve the problem”, but refused to be drawn on whether his colleagues had approached him asking him to make an intervention."

If Labour it has to be Corbyn. I can think of no reason at all why he'd resign the leadership now.
Grieve too divisive among his own party. He'd do well in the TIG. Would be awful when unity is needed.

if hunt succeeds her, I doubt he will let parliament decide about the withdrawal agreement

Grieve or Ken Clarke would be ace. Hunt most likely I suspect.

Ken Clarke would be a vast improvement, but he's really knocking on now and is also the Tory Europhile in chief.

I think she'll cave after losing MV3. She's clearly at breaking point.
The no deal types and the arch remainers aren't going to carry forward a divided party. Some wishful thinking on this thread.

The market isn't always right. Boris isn't up to the job, and what's more, he doesn't want the job.

Boris has grass root support.
MPs will never go for a divisive leader. He is today's Heseltine.

Corbyn. On the Tory side I'm not familiar enough with the candidates to say.

Hunt, Javid and possibly Rudd.

Rudd us not a unifier and to boot in a very marginal seat.
‘I think BoJo is a busted flush.
Gove us actually the most intelligent and competent of all of them, but a traitorous little shit who doesn’t look like a PM.
i think it will be Hunt.

I agree Hunt is likely. I would prefer Grieve. Rudd or Hammond would be fine too.

Why on earth would any of them want to do it? Sorting out Brexit is the most thankless, impossible task. The most poisonous, poisoned chalice.
