Off Topic Politics Thread

I suspect that the Mail and the Express will spend their time slagging off any/all of the candidates in the Tory election free-for-all (except, possibly, Nadine Dorries), and tell everyone that none of them are fit to clean the sleaze off Boris' shoes. The Express will then spend the next five years trotting out stories about what Boris would have done/thought, about anything, in the same way that Princess Di is still a major part of the Express' raison d'etre.

When the Tories lose the next election, both the Mail and the Express (and probably a lot of the other papers) will point the finger at the Tories, and say "This wouldn't have happened if Boris was still in charge"

Let them all fight. A 15-way no-holds-barred leadership race where all of these chancers offset their own lack of likability by tearing each other down.

Take them all to the love island villa or big brother house and roll the cameras.

Apparently Penny Mordaunt has released a video in which William Blake's Jerusalem is the background music. This reminds me of the same cloth earthed idiocy David Cameron showed when claiming to like The Jam. If William Blake were alive today, I don't doubt for a moment that he would echo Paul Weller's sentiments; Weller, you may remember, told Cameron "I forbid you to like my music".

Except most of the general public won’t be following and then be fed santised stuff once the decision is made

Grant Shapps declares he’s running for Tory Leader, so he’s adding 8 new names to the ballot.

FFS you didn't expect Johnson to appoint someone to a post who knew what they were doing did you? It would have been a first if he had.

Can someone please tell me that this is a lie

A turd self-polishing contest in fact.

Allegedly, a senior Tory “source” has, said of the wannabe PMs, “There are rumours about candidates being involved in bondage, domination and sadomasochism, claims of inappropriate relationships and compromising, explicit photos”.
And Dominic Cummings has chipped in with a comment saying that three of them would be worse than Johnson and one is sleeping with an aide.
Business as usual then.
