Reply to: Theresa May Canes First Round of Tory Leadership Elections

But Andrea Leadson is the opposite, and has had several high-powered and successful leadership roles in the financial sector which it looks like she lied about her various positions on her CV now. Apparently she got a notable right leaning recruitment agent to rewrite for her...

FTFY

People always complain about politicians starting out straight from uni, and never having had a "real" job.

But Andrea Leadson is the opposite, and has had several high-powered and successful leadership roles in industry.

After Michael Gove, she'd be the next best thing. But sadly too many naive voters will probably vote for Theresa May - It's so easy to fool Joe Public

But she isn't "difficult" like Thatcher.

I've always hated Gove he has a something of the Tony Blair about him.

So it's not true that she's never held a cabinet level post; hasn't even been a junior minister for long, and has only been an MP since 2010?

Usually when a relative unknown gets the job (like Cameron) they get to spend a few years as leader of the opposition.

I wouldn't take any notice of that. It is just fanatically pro-EU civil service bods trying to discredit her (quite probably at Cameron & co's urging).

So much for civil service impartiality.

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.

[VectraMan]

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.
