I am surprised anyone wants the job at the moment as they will be wrong with so many regardless of which Brexit side they support.
I suspect whoever is chosen they will not last very long.

There's certainly a career as a comic magician waiting for any of the failures: so far each one has managed to throw his hat in the ring while simultaneously talking through it. Just like that!

Post 390: how very topical, given the fair Widdecombe and, I suppose, the potentially imminent death of the horse.

Our supposedly unaffiliated national broadcaster proposes to host (not one, but) two televised debates between the Tory candidates. This for a bunch of no-hopers that as a totality was supported by little more than 3% of the electorate in last week's European elections. I cannot think of any other political grouping (except perhaps everyone's new darlings, Change UK) with a popularity running as low that would be given airtime. 'We're all in this together, old boy'. Besides, the dramatic attraction of a shouting match between the members of a mob of the besuited entitled is roughly equivalent to that of a cold fish pie.

Why the BBC are doing this goodness only knows it is not as if the general public have a say in who is likely to be the next Tory leader but I guess it will satisfy their lust for anything cheap and political to fill the screen time.

It's got to be more better entertainment than the Lezzie Footie the BBC seem to be promoting between every programme just now.

It all depends on whether you want to watch prima donnas shooting own goals. Don't think I do, so it'll be the footie for me.

If forced to watch one or the other, yuk, I would choose "Lezzie Footie", at least they know what they are supposed to do, over Queer Politics all the time.

Could be right up your street then, BD. These planks will all be planed and primed, with a topcoat of cheap wet gloss.
