Who should replace Boris?

[sst1234]

If/when he goes. I know many would would prefer someone other than a Tory to do so but let’s be realistic. Out of the front runners in the cabinet, who would you want to replace him ant why?

No member of the Cabinet is fit to lead the country. They're only there because they're Johnson nodding dogs.

Jeremy hunt?

Dunno - I hate them all

Larry the cat

Larry the cat

Seconded.

A balloon with a smiley face drawn in it.

Hunt would be the best of a bad bunch, is he even thinking of running though?

Jackie Weaver

There's no way that Jeremy Hunt could, would or should get it.

None of them, they're all a fucking disgrace. Asking who I would 'prefer' is like asking me if I'd rather be hit repeatedly in the face with a frying pan or a shovel.

Daddy Pig

Keir Starmer.
The Tories have shown themselves to be unfit for purpose.

Keir Starmer. These tories are making mugs of us!

Some great suggestions here. Am loving Daddy Pig and Jackie Weaver.

Out of the Tory gene pool, the only one that doesn't make me angry is Baroness whatsername, went in Taskmaster etc.

Realistically, is Sajid Javed an option? He's not quite as offensive as the rest.

I am going to say Rishi. I thought he did really well with striking the balance on the COVID packages - and I say that as someone who missed out on any payments / support but he had to draw the line somewhere.

A bum hole

None of them. They're all utterly spineless or they would have got rid of Boris by now. Or at least spoken out against him.

I think Nadhim Zahawi comes across as more competent than most of them but I don't know enough yet about his politics. (Though he is a Tory and has served in Johnson's cabinet, so neither of those things are positives )

Isn’t it depressing that none of them seem to be any good.

Jackie Weaver would be good.

I still think we should collective stage a revolution as between us I’m sure we could do a better job than the lot of them.

I wish Jackie Weaver ran the country. The woman's an absolute legend 😎

Andy Burnham. But he is in a different party and not even the leader of that party so it's probably not immediately likely!

None of the current lot bar Rishi. There must be principled people in there on the back benches who are capable of leading who would be better than the current bunch. Look at Sir David Amess (RIP), principled and hugely well respected.

Baroness Warsi is always impressive - not that she's in the frame!

None of them. Unfortunately they got rid of the half decent ones to "Get Brexit done"

Not Rishi. He is too far removed from the knowledge of poverty etc for even the Tory's. His policies would affect those on the breadline further.

Love the idea of Jackie Weaver.

Personally although I can't name any off the top of my head any Tory who has stood up and agreed Johnson is a disgrace and needs to go should run the party.

Not his weak cabinet followers if the current set up.

He cleared out experienced and in-anyway-compassionate-and-principed MPs. I am trying to remember when it was - before the last GE, when he remove the whip as punishment for not voting his way over something brexit related?

But yes, Jeremy hunt seems the best (god help us!)

Surprised no one said Liz Truss so far.
