What an absolute farce this whole affair has become. We truly must the laughing stock of Europe right now.
Just waiting for Klinsmann to be unveiled as the new England footy manager backed by the cast of Dad's Army singing our theme tune & I will then believe we have all truly gone mad.

Yes it is a farce, and we will be laughed at.

Meanwhile Eagle is now standing. I wonder if they have some breakdown of who the new Labour party 'members' will vote for, and/or will Corbyn be on the ballot paper ?

It's reported that there has to be another name on the ballot papers besides TM so the Tory membership can vote properly. Cue the return of Boris lol?
As for Labour, Corbyn's name has to be there. Didn't the Unions back him last time? The funniest outcome would be for Corbyn to win again.
I really must stop taking these pills, so many strange things appear to be happening out there.

I've heard that Boris is going to challenge Corbyn for the position of Labour leader!

Well it was mooted, maybe only half-jokingly in the ST yesterday....

Although I am not a great fan of Gove, normally, I truly believe he has the testies to carry out proper negotiations because he was all too aware of the heavy burden of the paperwork being shunted from Brussels and the sheer madness of it all first hand! We don't need a good looking man/woman. or 'Trendy Betty' as our PM we need a sober, educated, unemotional, experienced person. Gove is that man IMO.

You cannot be serious.
TM can run rings around the lot of them - as Vince Cable will tell you.

No, she has PC Library to hand, not tough enough IMO,VERY Ambitious? YES! Tough? NO!. She wasn't too sure about being in or out, afraid to stand up for what she believed in, following both sides to stand with the winner, NOT to be trusted.
