I don't think it will be May, because of Dacre and Murdoch as well as the fact that Gove has an excellent sense of humour and appeals to more Tory members, I think. Every one a gem.
claig You do realise this is not some game. People's livelihoods are dependant on the outcome of all this. Poor people have been sucked in by rich boys tilting at each other and the outcome is likely to be even more economic misery.

Gove is a good guy, he cares about the country, he was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he cares about the people. He will make this country richer and more prosperous and more independent and will make the MPs accountable to the public and he will reform prisons etc and carry out progressive policies that allow for social mobility and for real talent to rise in this country, just as he rose due to his talent which supercedes that of the Etonian Bullingdon Club members who are only where they are due to birth rather than talent.

derxa, can we please have a little respect for our next Prime Minister?
in a d'oh kind of way.
If only he respected his own country.

Bullingdon Club member Cameron has stepped down, Bullingdon Club member Osborne will survive because Gove will allow him to retain a good position. Bullingdon Club member, Boris, has lost, outwitted by Gove and the power that prefers Gove, the meritocratoc populist, Dacre of Daily Mail renown, and the globalist, Murdoch, who realises that the globalist game is up and has switched sides.

The elites have lost, the people and their representatives have won.

The people are having a knees up and singing "Roll out the Barrel" as it has never before been sung.

he was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he cares about the people He tried to use his own father for political purposes. He and his wife are pathetic social climbers.

Lol at Gove being a top brain. He can't even understand what an average is. He constantly had to do uturns when in education possibly because he ignored experts.

It's amazing how these figures get these reputations , like Boris Johnson being seen as a good bloke

I'm sure the current boys at Eton are not too worried about their lack of influence in the political world in the future.

So Murdoch and Dacre don't represent the elite but the people? Do you really believe what you write?

Reports say that Gove was seen giving a respectable rendition of this people's song at a Tory meeting last night

Gosh I'd forgotten about Darius Guppy.

I don't know what you get out of posting things like this, Claig.

'He and his wife are pathetic social climbers.'

No they aren't. They are ordinary people for a change.

'I'm sure the current boys at Eton are not too worried about their lack of influence in the political world in the future.'

They are gobsmacked. A British people's revolution has upended all their plans. We are leaving the EU, we will be independent and meritocracy will return which means their privilege in the Bullingdon Club will no longer guarantee them a top seat. Now it will be down to what talent they possess.

'So Murdoch and Dacre don't represent the elite but the people? '

They don't represent the Bullingdon Club, they were for Leave and they don't want Boris to take over and are backing Gove, the Leave campaigner, and "the people" who he represents.

The Establishment is in meltdown, the Daily Mail, "the paper all the politicians fear" as said by Blair's former Oxford PPE Chief of Staff, Jonathan Powell, has pulled the rug out under the Establishment's feet.

It is a people's revolution, backed by the Daily Mail.

The daily mail is as establishment as you can get.

If Gove is a top brain, then I am the Queen of Sheba.

And yes, while we don't legally need to have an election until 2020, people get a bit snippy about having unelected PMs loitering about fucking up the country.

Although that might only apply when unelected Labour PMs do it.

Crabbe is a deeply nasty piece of work, although I grant you, he's not as nasty or ridiculous a Gove.

Who next? Jeremy "not rhyming slang honest" Hunt?

And anyone who believes anything written in the Daily mail probably needs to go out and speak to real live humans occasionally for a reality check.

Boris probably read the comment in the Guardian that kicked these threads off and thought - they are right, I'm fucked.

"Just catching up but did he want to be PM as a wee boy but never could or something? does he have a painting of himself on the woolsack in his attic? I just don't get it? on Rupert Murdoch had me LOLling on public transport there"

Delighted to be of service

I think someone has asked this already, but are you Katie Hopkins claig?

No way is Claig KH!!

No, I am not as astute as Katie Hopkins

Sorry Pike, we could all lie and pretend to think he's human if you prefer?

Does anyone else feel as though this is some kind of event which has been interfered with by a time-traveller from the future? You know like the premise of those films where the hero has to go back and accept Hitler into the Vienna art-school/ stop Robespierre unleashing terror/ stop whoever it was who opened the gates of Syracuse etc.?

I feel as the the Doctor may have had a hand in this.

Just thought I'd check. Astute is not one of the words I'd use to describe KH, but each to their own.
