    Just watched the debate between potential prime ministers ......shocking to realise how pathetic they were. :sad::sad::sad:
    Boris was out of his depth ...as always. .......surely the tories won’t really choose him :noidea: He does not answer anything, cannot answer anything. An intellectual without any practical clarity.
    If I was interviewing any of them for a job I would re advertise the position and hope for better applicants

      Not had much dealing with employment agencies have you!

      I asked in the pub 'out of all MPs pick the one for PM' we all struggled to come up with a decent choice

        Go Rory.
        Of course he won’t win ,he is inexperienced and he doesn’t fabricate.
        A politician who doesn’t lie can stand no chance :th scifD36:.......imho.

          Last night BOJO looked very uncomfortable to me..I really don't think he can trust himself to speak without cocking things up.
          Mr Gove has got more 'plans ' than Baldrick...
          Mr Hunt doesn't seem to have much fire in his belly...
          Mr Javid..seems like a nice bloke but he doesn't stand a chance with the Tory elite...
          and then there's Mr Stewart.......bless 'im...'we all just have to be honest'...well that's a bit silly if we're talking about governments...
          Actions speak louder than words where I come from and there sure isn't much 'action' happening from where I'm sat...Grrrrrrr

            Quotes

            My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.

            My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters.

            The dreadful truth is that when people come to see their MP they have run out of better ideas.

            But unfortunately, it's just like many a real life job interview, where the panel doesn't really understand the job requirements, believe everything the applicants say they're capable of, and then appoint some useless candidate.

              • Bojo is a liar who is incapable of giving a straight answer ever .
              • Javid is completely untrustworthy who will base any decision on his perception of what is popular (ie; Stamina Begum)
              • Gove might be worth a pint as long as he lays off the party powder
              • I think that James Naughtie summed Hunt up perfectly
              • Rory Stewart is possibly a Tory that I could back. The only one who has spoken realistically about Brexit so far.

                  I think we can safely say if you are remain or leave we are all stuffed, there is no way out.
                  I love this song. It makes no sense.

                      I think Rory had began to make his mark and the others were running scared ,so he had to go.
                      I hope Bojo gives him a good job ,he has some good qualities with or without a tie.:dbgrtmb:

                        Hi,

                        I can't be bothered with either religion or politics; there's more interesting things to focus on.

                        We've not had a PM with a backbone for years; emphasis here in the UK seems to be on sport
                        rather than what really matters like industry; what industry; we should be asking Poland and India for our machines back please.

                        Our government is a comedy of errors and the way things are now will it make any difference at all if Doris gets the PM job?

                        Tomorrow like today and yesterday I'll be digging more stumps up from an hedge I've removed; I like to do something useful with my time.

                        To the government :rasp:

                        Kind regards, Colin.

                            Well, it appears that we are down to two - and oddly there is one word to describe both that rhymes with the surname of one of them (and a further clue, it is not Johnson!)
