Andrea Leadsons resignation was the trigger which resulted in Theresa Mays resignation . There were no concessions by Mrs May Labour have key principles which have been consistently stated by Keir Starmer over many years including environmental and worker protection. Think country is in a mess whoever is in charge no convincing policies by any party. Difficult to see Labour gaining an overall majority but who is the best person to be party leader ?
I got a 2:1 from Leeds University after going to Kirk Balk and Barnsley College - and I'm not th3 sharpest tool in the shed (as I'm sure many will attest to). Half the battle at Uni is having the front and the confidence to be able to talk your way out of trouble in seminars etc, which is where I'm sure Mr Johnson excelled at. Boris Johnson is a very dangerous man - he pretends to be the lovable rogue, but in reality he is devious and cunning. Perhaps he's not so thick after all.
You could not be more wrong, Nudger. Boris on the hoof is an accident waiting to happen. Speak to any of his FO colleagues; he was unprepared, unwilling to listen, just blustered & flustered his way through every meeting. Other foreign ministers referred to his second in command Alan Duncan as "the pooper scooper". Take him off-script and he's finished You or I would eat him alive at the dispatch box, Corbyn will turn him into a 3-course meal.
Most of the claims he made yesterday about his time as mayor were wholly or part-fabrications. And funny he didn't mention the £43M he cost the taxpayer for his failed garden bridge project.
As far as I can see Micky, Boris will have a free ride while Corbyn is Labour leader. His tactical naivety has been demonstrated many times, and was again yesterday.
And as Boris demonstrated yesterday, he simply cannot deal with anything offscript. Painfully so, in front of a room full of braying sycophants. MPs were booing the press for having the temerity....the gall to ask questions of a man who’s likely to be the next PM. That is just frightening. Even Corbyn, with all these perceived flaws, will rip him a new one at PMQs
He couldn't cope on Have I got news for you! Think it will go against him that he challenged then pulled out of going for the leadership last time.
But as you know, when he stands up in Parliament those braying sycophants will be stood behind him - cheering him on. Corbyn couldn't even nail May after her government was voted in contempt by Parliament. Boris will run rings around him, so far as I can see. And I take no pleasure in saying that.
We'll know more at 1pm today, but I strongly suspect it will be impossible to keep him out of the final two. That's all he'll need, because the party members will vote for him in droves. I wish it could be Rory Stewart.
It will be so much fun on here when boris gets in. Labour is a dead duck with Corbin in charge and it makes me smile. Lets hope reds sign someone soon so people have something else to talk about other than the sad boring tory bashing we get day in day out. We all kno if corbin pee'd on your Christmas tree on Christmas morning you'd still vote labour so why folks still bang on about politics on here i don't know.
Not a chance. Quoting Latin, making jokes and giving rugger-team pep talks to the house will very quickly wear thin. Parliament wants a knowledgable, prepared PM, not a golf club after-dinner speaker. I’m not championing Corbyn, but he’s actually pretty good at PMQs and put May away most weeks. His flaws lie elsewhere.
This. I actually wish it could be none of them, but Stewart would at least stop this catastrophe-in-waiting. The blue-rinse octogenarians who will shape our kids’ futures would unfortunately never let that happen.
Not a fan of any of the HoC encumbents but you and I clearly live in different universes if you genuinely believe Corbyn is "pretty good at PMQs". He is even incapable of picking the right topic to focus on half the time and May seemed capable of rebutting his feeble attacks which is a pretty bad indictment in itself.
He did do better against May, and looked confident when facing her. But against Cameron, he was like a whimpering little kid who had just taken a slap off the playground bully. I can see Boris giving him a similar run-around, whether it is on the hoof or scripted.
You had a very different uni experience to me. Why would you be in trouble at seminars? Maybe that’s why my husband and I both got Firsts rather than 2:1s though.
I did a degree where presentations and group work in seminars went to my final grade- hence the need for basically being able to talk your way around something if you're fairly knowledgeable on a subject. No need for the condescending tone though - there will always be soneone better off than you. No need for the belittling verbage. Congratulations on your First.
I’ve been away over a year. my best mate brought my attention to the board. I see you are still a C. U. N. T
