Theresa May Canes First Round of Tory Leadership Elections

[Bacchus]

Least your "friend" isn't Ken Clarke otherwise he would say she is a pain but tough like Thatcher.

He isn't, but he did row for his country at Olympic level and was a reinsurance underwriter. I have a level of faith in his judgement. Old **** now though...

It's obvious what's going to happen: it's going to be like Labour; stuck with a leader the MPs don't support. I.e. Leadsom.

Or Gove if the May supporters do tactical voting to get Gove into second spot out of fear Leadsom is more popular with their members, and the members vote for Gove.

Not sure why I'm laughing, Gove gives me the creeps. Like a ventriloquists dummy. Though apt when you consider he's Murdoch's puppet, allegedly.

Maybe it should be Ken Clarke:

He looks like a tramp.

We need a Thatcher now more than ever so fingers crossed!

I think she is definitely the best bet.

If they were clever they'd have engineered an MP vote for May and Fox knowing full well that May would win when it went to the party.

If it's Gove he'll be so despised by the electorate he'll make Gordon Brown look beloved. The only thing I can say about Leadsom is who?

Crabb's dropped out too.

It's obvious what's going to happen: it's going to be like Labour; stuck with a leader the MPs don't support. I.e. Leadson.

Maybe it should be Ken Clarke:

Clarke caught discussing Tory 'fiasco' - BBC News

They played the full clip on the radio this morning. It was hysterical. And it doesn't help that he sounds an awful lot like Stephen Fry. Clarke almost certainly knew he was being taped.

Anyone know what she proposes? All i know she is pro-remain eurosceptic.

One of her supporters was on Radio 5 yesterday around 17:30 if you want to listen again.

She is expected to trigger Article 50 before the end of the year.

He did seem to be talking in the same way he would in an interview. But then maybe that's just Ken Clarke.

Was it Malcolm Rifkind he was talking to?

It was, although he said very little.

Seemed to be Clarke taking an opportunity to share his views with everyone.

Theresa May Canes...

Her opponents probably enjoy that.
