Westministenders: Hustings and Humilation

[RedToothBrush]

Round 1 has passed.
Boris is winning. But these are the Tories. Surprises might yet happen.

But the chances are the lying buffon is full speed ahead to be the next PM. As long as he manages to keep his mouth shut.

Unfortunately being Prime Minister involves talking. This might prove to be something that bursts the BorisMania rather rapidly.

A GE is still very much on the cards.

And we might face the Constitutional and undemocratic shutting down of parliament to satisfy the Tory Faithless.

Meanwhile the EU couldn't give less shits. They just think we are wasting the time we were granted in good faith.

31st October beckons with No Deal.

Tory membership are mad as a box of frogs.

Tom Watson says he's met Labour supporters "with tears in their eyes" who won't vote for the party now because of its stance on Brexit.

Do you think the message is finally getting through to labour? Fence-sitting can’t be a permanent strategy.

I just can't believe that 2 1/2 months after the UK should have either left the EU or made a decision, that so many MPs, that are supposedly 'running' the country have no fucking clue and are still telling lies.

Liam Gallagher @liamgallagher
My name is liam Gallagher I have 4 beautiful children I have dabbled in drugs over the years I’ve had many number 1s now send me the keys to no10 I’ll sort this pile of shit out WHY ME?WHY NOT.

Genuine tweet this morning.

RTB
Dead Ringers (?) had Ozzy Osborne as a 'candidate' on the basis that only he has tried all the drugs that the various MPs were 'admitting' to.

Jim Pickard@pickardje
Sajid Javid says that Tory party sometimes acts like it just “tolerates” modern Britain, whereas it needs to prove that it “loves” it #today

I thought: "why not No 2s" and then realised what Liam meant !

Much of the Tory party dislikes modern Britain

It's just whether they dislike everything since the Welfare State, or the 1950s, or the 19th century

BigChocFrenzy - you're not the only one - I had to read Liam's tweet twice to realise what he was getting at

we're just so used to bullshit being spouted

mother wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Stitch up so Boris gets an easy ride at the hustings and Hunt gets rewarded a Cabinet job.

Why is Rory Stewart MI6 bad but David Davis Artists Rifles good?

If Rory the Tory was a spy then at least he was half decent at it, which is more than Davis was by some accounts.

There must be 30-odd MPs willing to back RS if nothing more than to hold BJ to account in any debate. I hope.
I will call the scheming blond bumbler BJ from now on as I think it fits his persona better than any other abbreviation.

I prefer Bozo, borntobequiet

I've been reading bits of Rory's blog. While I probably wouldn't agree with much of his philosophical stances, I'd much rather have a well informed, thoughtful and experienced prime minister than a puppet.

The Daily telegraph is obsessed with Rory Stewart today. That portrait is actually quite sweet.
As for denying spying, isn't the first rule of fight club that you never talk about fight club?

Born, I saw this astute observation from Mike Smithson

Mike Smithson @ msmithsonpb
The CON race is not now about who wins but whether the next PM and leader gets properly tested and scrutinised

This could, of course, backfire with an AnyoneButBoris response to get Stewart to the final two.

Will we see Johnson lying down in front of the diggers, or has that now been forgotten?

According to a retweet on Rory Stewart's Twitter via Robert Peston from Fraser Nelson

Boris could get >150 votes today and word is he’s lending at least 15 MPs to Jeremy Hunt who he regards as a safe, low-energy opponent.

Just when you thought there was a glimmer of hope...

Just when you thought there was a glimmer of hope

There’s no hope of not getting Bozo as PM. I’m just hoping Rory stays in the race for as long as possible to actually put Bozos “plans” under scrutiny

Aaargh, just read that Hunt's endorsement of the Trump/ Hatey tweet was that he supports the sentiment "150%". How does that work then? Can we have a PM who understands basic maths?

No, absolutely not.
