Also, I assume Boris will be calling a General Election immediately after he was so vehemently against Gordon Brown inheriting the job from Blair without one.

If he becomes PM, I suspect his first priority will be to deliver Brexit by 31 October.

I think this is possible - this Parliament has not delivered the mandate, and taking on Jeremy Corbyn straight away may be a smart move.

“They voted for Anthony Charles Lynton Blair to serve as their leader. They were at no stage invited to vote on whether Gordon Brown should be PM… They voted for Tony, and yet they now get Gordon, and a transition about as democratically proper as the transition from Claudius to Nero. It is a scandal. Why are we all conniving in this stitch-up? This is nothing less than a palace coup… with North Korean servility, the Labour Party has handed power over to the brooding Scottish power-maniac.”

Upholding his upstanding democratic values he can't serve as leader without being elected by the people right?

Agreed. I think he has to - plus he would win.

Have you gone a bit tepid on Corbyn now? I seem to remember you being a bit excited when he became Labour leader.

Or have you just realised that pretty much all politicians are really just vain, arrogant and mendacious arseholes?

 


Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

I still like him as a person, just not as a leader.

He likes you, too. But then again, we all do.

I've heard the view expressed that in GB we don't vote for a PM, like the Americans vote for a President, we vote for a party.

I know we do. But from Boris' prior iracundia he lamented that a leader should be duly selected by the electorate. I would hate to see him uphold double standards, as, I'm sure, my noble chum, would you.

I had to look up "iracundia".
