Clearly 29% of Tory members are Labour sleepers
Boris v Corbyn then is the likely next general election battle
Lake Tahoe
Yellowstone
Jackson Hole
Teleride
Grand Canyon

The Conservatives would have won a 42-seat majority in June’s general election if they had secured the same level of support among minority ethnic Britons as they did among white voters, analysis has found.
The report, by the British Future thinktank, identifies what it calls an “ethnic minority voting gap” that cost Theresa May 600,000 votes and an extra 28 seats.
It argues that while David Cameron sought to emphasise a broadening of the Conservative appeal to voters, including the party’s historically poor support from black and minority ethnic (BME) Britons, May had reversed this process.

Surely, if she is that capable she should stay and she probably will, if Brexit happens. Otherwise, she should go now before economic doomsday arrives.
Strangely, I wasn't thinking about the Italian lakes at all.
Those were the options we were given.
Not entirely a fan, but she does actually listen to people and show empathy in her repies.
Pretty pisspoor choice though.
It is beyond parody. Even "Yes Minister"s writers would struggle with this one...
As far as any GE is concerned the conservatives will need a new leader unless TM has a 'Falkland ' style victory on Brexit

I think we can safely set contempt levels to maximum for that little gem.
But with ten days holiday a year, often including sick leave - unless you are self employed - you don't get to go...
She's a total and utter [deleted] she should [redacted] off.

Actually California is a bit screwed on that front either way...
Why would she go voluntarily? And why would Tory MPs oust her directly, when they haven't done that to any sitting PM in living memory?
Er........who called it ?
He's a patriot.
Ian Lavery is literally shouting at the audience on QT.
The midlands, I think we can firmly suggest, are solidly blue.
I'm within 90 minutes of a ski slope. (And I'm not talking about Hemel Hemstead or the Milton Keynes Snowdome.)
Ironic that if he had returned to the backbenches he could have become the next PM
Could "Hacker" Hammond come through the middle?
Polling below Rudd. And less than a third of JRM.
What's best for them is best for the party and best for the country.
The young/socially liberal/continuity remain wings of the party have been castrated.
You're irrelevant. You don't matter to them.
It all depends on the final two the MPs send to the party.
IDS is a completely different kettle of fish - for obvious reasons, ousting a leader in opposition is much less destructive than in government. Although, having said that, even in that case, the vote of no confidence was only passed pretty narrowly, even when the case against him was much more clear-cut than it will be against May.

I count 5 Labour gains in the Midlands under Jezza.
I didn't see you complaining when Labour bunged pensioners a load of freebies.
You also seem impervious to the fact the Tory manifesto was going to take away the goodies from the oldies.
But you didn't vote for that manifesto.
The Tories are being run by their nutters
The Lib Dems are nowhere to be seen
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable....
IDS lost the vote 90 votes to 75, pretty clear
However, we'll never know. All we do know is that, irrespective of what might or 'would' have happened, if Tory MPs were to vote May out then it would be the first time they had done so in living memory to a sitting PM. Personally I don't see it happening.
And I don't really call a 90-75 vote that emphatic, considering IDS had a considerably weaker case of 'electability' than May does.
She knew she was beaten hence she stepped down to back Major who could manage to beat Heseltine in the second round (having promised to drop the hated poll tax) and indeed did so.
IDS won both the 2002 and 2003 local elections and led a number of polls in 2003, he would probably have done about as well as Howard in 2005

But before any candidate can even get that far, they have to survive the trial by sharp knives of the multiple rounds of MPs' votes. So no JRM for a starter, but other than that, if the contest is soon the two finalists will be one from the preferred list of Remain supporters (excluding Ruth Davidson) and one from the preferred list of Leave supporters.
Having said that, the support for Ruth Davidson - who cannot even be a candidate at the moment, and who isn't all that well known amongst party members in England, is strikingly high. My own view is that she is the only one of those named whose selection would be a complete game-changer (and in a good way!). She of course may not want the job, but if she can be persuaded, the party should find a way to make it possible.
