I'd be amazed if every candidate hasn't got some murky skeletons in the cupboard....they are Tories after all and their current leader has bullshitted his way around all the dodgy stuff on his CV...I guess the key question will be who has the least damaging revelations and how well they can...
The most astonishing thing about the whole shambles is that none of the candidates appear to see the need to legalise and formalise the constitution and modus operandi of Parliament in order to ensure that chancers, entitlementers and incompetents like Johnson are never be able to run for...
Indeed - but given that they're all saying he can't be trusted, he's a liar, he's incompetent etc etc etc how can they continue to support him for another 5 minutes in power??? Totally ****ed up thinking.
All this brouhaha about the Met is a complete and successful distraction. The reality is that Dick reports to Patel who thinks the sun shines out of Johnson's arse. I would imagine the behind the scenes pressure on Dick is enormous - the worst that will come out of it are a couple of parking...

This, he's teflon, he's bang to rights, he won't admit to anything and he'll just ignore all the shit that comes his way. He's been doing it all his life so he isn't going to have a "Road to Damascus" experience now!
