Corbyn is toast.

Bring on that election.

I smell bulls***. When Boris opens his mouth.

If Corbyn has made it this far, he will contest the next election. If there was a viable alternative already with enough support Corbyn would be long gone by now.

 


Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Try to use English and its grammar correctly and then others might be able to understand what you might be trying to communicate.

Not sure thats worth it most of the time though.

Will add this to the pantheon of attempted witty/scathing comebacks on this site, which miss the mark so spectacularly as to be in the wrong post code.

Nice try though!

That’s largely the problem though. His cabinet would consist of the same non-entities and no-hopers who can’t challenge a plainly unsuitable candidate.

If it rumbles on too long he might be forced to address it. He'd have been better off saying "We had an argument like any other couple could, it's a private matter and I am entitled to a private life." rather than "nobody wants to hear about that"..

From the sound of it, it was more his other half kicking off anyway

"It was really loud, loud enough to make me turn down the TV and see what was going on. I could hear shouting and screaming from a lady, she sounded really angry. There was a man’s voice too, but he was much calmer and he was telling her to calm down but she was still chucking things about,” she said. “It went on for about 10 minutes. I’ve never heard anything like it. I was considering calling the police but then a [police] van and car came.”


I can see why he's keeping a low profile, and not wanting any head to heads with Hunt, on account that he's clear favourite for leader. I expect he's come to a conclusion that there's more of a down than up side to TV time, head to heads and so on. If the internal poling changes before the vote though, we can expect him to be all for it. Politicians politicking.

Exactly.

Hunt is trying to get him into a public debate hook or by crook as he knows it's his only chance.

Unless BoJo opens his trap and ruins it for himself it's in the bag: BoJo is trying to avoid the Kinnock moment and they both know it.

I agree with all of this. Granted there is a basic and rightfully expected decency in being faithful to the mother of your children, but for some, personal indulgence and self gratification are more important than a bond of trust to their partner and by consequence their children. Low loyalty.

Boris' tumultuous personal life and scattered children are certainly well documented.... but the bloke is running to be Prime Minister, not Father or Husband of the Year.

Drawing an assessment of what is good for the country doesn't require a picture perfect home life, and the bar we set for politicians and the scrutiny they're under isn't fair in that regard. Motivations behind imperfections in one area of life, in certain roles may well even act as a positive. Trump has quite an extreme personality for instance, and I wouldn't be a fan of that in day to day life, but an upside of it in his role is that he doesn't think twice about being pushy on trade for example. Before him that type of approach was seen as strictly out of bounds.

I would rather Bojo or Hunt win on the strength of the arguments they put forward to tory members. Then we'll likely see more of a message for the country rather than the membership and see where it goes from there. What I don't want to see is a strategic release of a barney with the missus days prior to the vote in an attempt to throw the whole thing into disarray. US style politics coming to the UK. No thanks.

Agree with both 100%.

But would like to see him properly answer. Prime ministers have to address all skeletons in the cupboard and Lord knows he has a few of those.

I am not sure whether you are happy with this or merely stating this as where we are?

Personally I am mortified by the fact that the country is sleep walking into a new regime led by a man so calamitously gaff prone and non statesman like that his minders have to keep the tortoise in his shell.

I'm beginning to have second thoughts about Boris as our supremo due to his refusal to face the media and tell us exactly what he intends to try and do.

Whilst it's no concern of ours what he gets up to behind closed doors all he had to do was to admit that he and his girl friend have the occasional argument and this one was of no consequence and everyone would have moved on.

He needs a TV debate with Jeremy Hunt where they both answer relevant questions in some detail after all if we have a General Election soon he is going to have to face the cameras against Jeremy Corbyn if he has any hopes of the Conservatives winning

Didn't people have the same reservations about May?

She destroyed Corbyn at PQT.

When you already have a big lead, you can only potentially mess it up by looking bad on TV.

My paper has pictures of Class War activists on her doorstep, quite awful.

Woosh! Maybe ,I should have said comical..

Give up, maple when it comes to banter and wit... you are kind of lagging behind.

I'll explain he questioned my grammar, I responded using grammatical errors, such as spelling, I think a comma, a question mark...oh why am I bothering..

You know what you're right" you're cone head main. You've been told"

By on the ball - Maple.
Tell oh wise one, did I mean grammar Nazi or grandma?
