    But is it better she can speak to the country or is it better she can speak to the already converted? Remember the Tories want power by hook or by crook.

      How can you possibly suggest that?

        She may well lose the Hastings and Rye constituency, there seems to be a growing local backlash there against her:

        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          If you're wobbling, you're losing; I don't think the audience really matters. All I'm saying is that, while Mayhem has set a low benchmark, I'm not sure Rudd would exceed it very much. Also, like Mayhem, I don't think she's a conviction politician, i.e. someone with vision. I don't recall any deep thought from her on what the Tory party should be. We've had too many managers as PM in recent years, rather than visionaries.

              I believe that May was giving one her little talks today, once again to the Tory faithful and invited only whereas that old man, well 10,000 turned out in the rain to hear him:

If Brexiteers really did believe in wanting change like they claimed they'd all be doing the same.
                That's your opinion, I'm staying out of the Brexit discussion from now on, my views are clear - a little short term pain is a price worth paying in the long run, but I respect your right to feel differently. You really should be voting LibDem on Thursday, if you feel that strongly about the one issue.
                His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                  The rightful Tory leader is lesbian and Scottish but she is not an MP.

                    Are you f**king serious ?? Ruth F**king Davidson ??????

                    Ruth 'The Mooth' Davidson, who, now that they've had to drop 'strong and stable' is now saying "A Vote for the Conservative party is a vote to make Britain great again". Holy f**k, are you actually mental ?

                      Why not?

                      You inflicted Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell on us. So you may as well make it even and inflicted some Scottish born and/or educated Tories on us. After all they may invent a new way - "the fourth way " I mean we are still suffering the effects of the third way....
