Re: This is a poll. Who will be UK's next PM?
My beloved father-in-law passed away early this year. In his last, increasingly enfeebled years I became his baby-sitter while my wife took my mother-in-law, released from duty by my guarding of her husband, shopping. So Dad and I sat and watched endless hours of Cricket around Christmas. He never got tired of it, and I could sit on the couch and read a very thick book I had purchased specifically for the situation, glancing up whenever I heard a rising of the monotone play-by-play commentary.

Changed my mind. Boris has screwed it.

...and now the Krankie sister has got involved. Does she not realise that she is a racist?

Re: This is a poll. Who will be UK's next PM?
I'm none the wiser. Who is Jimmy Krankie? I assume this relates to some 'comedy' programme on TV, stuff I never watch.
Re: This is a poll. Who will be UK's next PM?
It’s the female half of a Jockanese “comedy” act which is a 6 foot perv that married a 3 foot dwarf and decided he could make use of her in a music hall act and dressing her up in little boy’s clothes. Nothing strange about the Jocks eh?

Thankfully my sheltered upbringing has protected me from any exposure to such bilge
Thanks anyway.

I had to look them up on the interweb. Seemingly their sex lives were unusual, Martini-like.

Re: This is a poll. Who will be UK's next PM?
Still none the wiser. Anyway a posed Boris and girl friend holding hands today. How cute. Did Sir Denis chuck plates at Mrs Thatcher? Or vice versa, I doubt it. He is not PM material.

Re: This is a poll. Who will be UK's next PM?
Depends on how well he dodged the incoming. If he was successful as that then I'd say it demonstrates useful agility. Not convinced by his unwillingness to get up and debate though, if he can't do that then he'll get slaughtered at PMQs.Still none the wiser. Anyway a posed Boris and girl friend holding hands today.

Re: This is a poll. Who will be UK's next PM?
Several commentators have pointed out that hair length and style of Boris in the picture of the happy couple issued today doesn't match the hair length and style seen two days ago or that of today. Cynics are suggesting it was taken weeks or month ago. Heaven forbid that Boris or his advisors would descend to such deception.

Re: This is a poll. Who will be UK's next PM?
He is speaking at 20 hustings for the Conservative Party membership, which have already started. They are the only people voting.
He refused an invite to speak to the US President in order to speak at hustings for Conservative MPs when they were the only people entitled to vote.
It would seem to be a simple case of getting one's priorities right.
Should the public be interested, the hustings are being live streamed.
One notes that the Labour Party have twice since WW2 (and once before) swapped leaders and therefore PMs whilst in power, and have made no moves to stop the practice or go for an immediate GE after the leadership change. On both occasions, they lost the subsequent GE.

Perhaps he's just put on a different wig today.

Re: This is a poll. Who will be UK's next PM?
Fox, I had lunch with one of the party members. First he agreed that the previous televised debates were an irrelevance. Then that he had not watched the famous five.
He considered going to a husting but decided it was too far to travel for no benefit. He didn't say how he would vote but said he thought Hunt was slimey.

Re: This is a poll. Who will be UK's next PM?
Thank you. That all matches what I had gleaned so far, but it's much better to hear direct reports from the ground.
My estimate from surveys and writings of Conservative members is that 80% of the Tory members in the Shires, like Lincolnshire, will be voting Boris. With the metropolitan ones less supportive, BJ will probably win about 60/40, but I think that was with Gove or Javid expected to oppose him. He may beat Hunt by more.
