Rhodes 145 Posted June 7 What do we think of the result last night folks, I was quite surprised that Labour were voted back in albeit very narrowly, the BREXIT party can count themselves unlucky at not having secured their first Parliamentary seat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big J R 681 Posted June 14 And on the Tory leadership front, I see we are now down to 6 contenders from 10. Anyone fancy a punt ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really follow politics to be honest and these days I follow it even less. Ive been hearing Boris Johnsons name mentioned a lot over the last few days so I'm guessing that he might be the front runner for the job in the race for the hot seat.

Big J R 681 Posted June 17 I watched SOME of last nights Channel 4 debate, (Minus Boris, of course). What a lack-lustre bunch. It's gotta be Boris. Next round of voting tomorrow, (Tuesday). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big J R 681 Posted June 19 I watched last nights BBC debate and wasn't impressed by any of 'em, including Boris. To be totally honest, I thought Rory Stewart came out of it the worst. He reminds me of a vents dummy !! Sorry Rory Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cup of tea 651 Posted June 21 It's going to be Boris, surely. The problem is that he's promised to leave on October 31st come what may. That suggests a no-deal Brexit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Hunt might get the nod to move into number 10 but I would rather see Boris move into the place. Politics is about what they want not what we want.

cup of tea 651 Posted June 25 12 Conservative MPs have stated they will vote against the government in a vote of no confidence if a no-deal Brexit is attempted. I can't see the EU negotiating on the deal and that leaves a general election as the only remaining option. It's going to be a mess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
