Whoever is the PM as we exit the EU will have a massive task on her/his hand selling the Brexit deal or other arrangement to the party and to the country as a whole.

OT : I see the deranged Mr. Chapman is tweeting again quite unpleasantly. He really does come across as one arrogant POS!
Incidentally received my Tory member renewal 'card' and as usual it's fallen apart whilst removing it from the letter....
"Both sides are bad m'kay"
Hammond as PM and Fox as Chancellor by next July at the latest.
Though I have a very poor record on forecasting Tory leadership contests!
'I condemn the violence on both sides'
When he ferreted out of last leadership contest there were rumours, which I found credible, that someone had some serious beans to spill about him if he didn't step aside. That episode will be examined in great detail if he stands again.
An abdication.
The Queen is preparing to abdicate the throne and make Prince Charles the King, according to royal sources.
Queen Elizabeth, 92, is alleged to have told her inner circle of plans to hang up her crown at the age of 95.
Clarence House is making no comment about 'Plan Regency', which involves a piece of legislation called the Regency Act coming into force.
"I have spoken to a number of high-ranking courtiers who made it clear that preparations for a transition are moving ahead at pace," royal commentator for the Daily Mail, Robert Jobson, said.
"They have all confirmed that a Regency with Charles taking the lead is now, at the very least, a real possibility."

As someone with Republican tendencies, Charles will do wonders for the Republican movement.

2. Trump is talking in exactly the same mode as Corbyn about Venezuela - about which the left has nothing to say.
but we look over it, we let it pass by it's not the done thing to talk about it
However, Corbyn is not and never will be President of Venezuela. So that is not really comparable.
She's far too socially illiberal for my tastes, but I could live with her as party leader.
She'd eviscerate Corbyn and McDonnell, the latter of which she has form with.
I see you think Nazis are incapable of it, but really they are
'Trump and Corbyn, two cheeks of the same arse'

There is, of course, an opportunity for a betting market!
I want less of Mr Smith from 47 Artillery Crescent ramming people, but his actions are not to be held at the door of his Nazi (or otherwise) brethren.
I mean, no responsible parent dresses a child that young in white, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Life, you know - I try!
Then again, PB may not be entirely representative.
Here's the Fasial Islam article if anyone's interested: http://news.sky.com/story/sky-views-hacienda-generation-threat-to-tories-10977698
There is one outstanding candidate, who has excelled on the front bench and in front of tricky media scrutiny.
That person is....
Chloe Smith
I have no idea how the tensions are going to erupt but it's not going to be pleasant.
If you ask him nicely!
I hope I'm still around to see the celebrations when we rejoin.
OK, so I won't, but I will burnish my lefty credentials by saying I went to one of their gigs when I was a student.
Despite his flaws, I am seeing more and more why Cameron's detoxification of the Conservative Party was necessary.
I definitely am starting to feel a sense of us versus them, and I am understanding more as to why so many of my age group are getting caught up in it, even though I am still very anti-Corbyn.
I don't see what "reactions to what happened in Charlottesville on here" you mean, incidentally. You may be diagnosing thoughtcrime to a greater extent than the text will stand.
the question was incorrectly premised.
Heraclitus.
This Year Zero approach to history and culture will not end well. I don't think Mao's China or contemporary South Africa are models to emulate.
So we won't see "culture wars" in the same way. The voting differentials between generations are economically driven.
Re Charlottesville
A democratically elected council voted to sell a statue. A bunch of people not connected to the City decided they didn't like it, organised Online and turned up mob-handed and in many cases armed, resulting in 3 deaths. They are out of order, because if they don't live there it is none of their business.
Or am I missing something?
(I suspect that George may have meant that comment to have a much less pleasant interpretation than Chapman has inferred)
Removing statues, and renaming places has a history as long as human history. Why should we stop now?
Getting someone sacked for their beliefs undermines free speech and drives hate underground
Basically it's been about many white people mainly from the south denying black people are equal to them. That is the crux of the matter.
