[Politics] Our next prime minister BBC 1

Boris Johnson would deliver a 40-seat majority for Tories in an election, new poll shows

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politic...uld-deliver-40-seat-majority-tories-election/

Just imagine the reaction on here if this poll turned out to be vaguely accurate ....

I am only posting this to show that polls are all over the place (take your pick) and the one thing I would bet my house on is that whatever actually emerges in a GE will look nothing like whatever the polls are saying now.

Has anyone checked out Piers Morgan vs Matt Hancock on ITV This Morning?

I haven't seen a politician dodge the question repeatedly like that (Kim Darroch - stay or go?) since Paxman vs Michael Howard on Newsnight.

Whatever they're covering up they've done a great job keeping people off the scent the past couple of years

Thanks for that, pity the Telegraph is behind the Channel Islands offshore pay wall.

Interesting to see what Labour's change of position does to their fortunes.

Judging by the reaction to this resignation by Senior Tories I don't think BoJo is going to last 5 minutes.

He won't - he's only ever a breath away from a career-ending gaffe - it's only a matter of time. Whiff Whaff is coming home..................

Quite how as a country we have such a pisspoor selection of potential/aspiring leaders (from all sides) is beyond belief really.

I think it's partly because our democracy isn't fit for purpose. The two traditional leading parties have been able to take votes for granted for decades - general elections are decided by a handful of key marginals really. I also think people are quite disengaged with politicians, which is why a complete charlatan is likely to take control of the country shortly. People clap like seals at his "optimistic" drivel instead of taking apart his opinions.

And he'll be opposed by a dogmatic, non-pragmatic socialist without a cat in hell's chance of winning a GE.
