[Politics] Next Prime Minister

[Westdene Seagull]

Lord Liverpool was a Tory but he's perhaps not the best example to quote. He left a party in a state of disarray - a situation that was set to get worse until stabilised by the arrival of Disraeli.

I stand corrected - I was hinting at Blair but am obviously wrong. That said I'm not sure Lord Liverpool had the same type of media to contend with !

You can say that again - they didn't even have news on the front page then

I've just looked it up and I was wrong. According to Wikipedia, Walpole was the longest serving PM - but I think that stretches the definition of PM a bit, in the early stages he was more like a glorified adviser. Pitt is the second longest but that was was over two terms (although his first term was longer than Liverpool's).

He's actually not really a politician of any sense whatsoever. He doesn't even do sound bites, he is lost, he's a little pixie in his own world. The only commie in his own party, so long as he has a place in British politics long live his opposition. Michael Foot comes to mind.

Exactly, a modern day M Foot. Hopefully he falls as flat. I suspect every other Labour leader in the past would have loved to be up against the shambles that 8s the current Tory party but he is so incompetent he is looking as bad as they are

Basically lying to the public ie £350M to the EU or NHS and the claim that Turkey was joining the EU.

Does that mean that Penny Mordaunt is also in court for lying on TV that the UK couldn't veto Turkey joining the EU ?

Fingers crossed that Justine Greening throws her hat in the ring. I think she’s comfortably better than any of the candidates who have so far come out as contenders for the Tory throne.

Too much of a remainer I'm afraid, she's publicly said she would quit the Tories in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

Boris in Court....

"Boris Johnson has been ordered to appear in court over claims he lied by saying the UK gave the EU £350m a week".....says the BBC.

Of course, it's subjective, but the idea of taking politicians to court for lying?!! Where would that end? have we enough courts?
Apparently crowdfunded to the tune of £200k, I would wonder who pays if he's cleared and gets expenses?

Also said in July last year parliament is deadlocked and 2nd ref is the only way out. Tories aren't interested in facing reality,she has no chance

Ball has raised £237k via crowd fund, some background. Taken 2.5 years to build the case

*** MORE BREAKING NEWS ***



The courts aren't big enough to facilitate those MP's guilty of misconduct in public office , so all charges have been dropped .

The crowdfunding only amounted to one alleged liar at a time.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I'm reading that misconduct in public office carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

 

[happypig]

I see that the spectacularly misnamed James Cleverly has declared himself. They've stopped scraping the barrel and are now looking under it.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Really ? Remind me which party the longest serving PM was in ?

The only Labour leader that was sponsored by Rupert Murdoch?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Are you allowed to be Prime Minister from a life sentence in prison?

I am keeping my fingers crossed.

So that’s why the Tories stopped building prisons.

Rory Stewart is the best qualified potential PM. He is well travelled, worldly, culturally aware and multilingual, and has worked harder than all the other candidates who have only worked within their little well paid cozy comfort zones. .

I know it ain't going to happen but suppose it did and he got put away for 2 years, I mean just how funny would that be.
I'm chuckling just thinking about it he would have plenty of people willing to rough his hair up a bit.
