Who knew?
You probably need an external stressor to snap them out of it, but why would the Chinese do that? Much better to wait.
Also party thoughts are that Boris has peaked
And the public says why don't the pair of you just grow up?
This seems dumb to me - the London mayor is an ambassador for the city, and the only time the Tories won was with Boris who dialled up showbiz whenever he could. I'm sure he'll develop better lines, but not a promising start.
Queueing is inevitable as long as the doors are closed and always happens every single year for the PMs speech. Why would this year be any different?
Even May sceptics are going to want to hear what the PM has to say anyway. Nobody who has paid to go to Conference whatever their views would want to miss this.
Are you saying Mother Theresa's Faking It?
Queueing for passport control on holiday, queueing for customs, queueing for portaloos on the M20, queueing for rationed avocados.
It will help immigrants integrate with British traditions.
Edit: and what is the weather like outside or are they all being given another chance to buy Tory Party mugs and Save Theresa goodies?
Project Fear and logic are rarely bedfellows.

Shame on him
Every time I think I've seen Maximum Maybot, she surpasses herself with her tone-deafness.
The stories trailing May's speech say that she has identified the voters she needs to take back from Corbyn: "They want to support a party that is decent, moderate and patriotic. One that puts the national interest first".
She genuinely doesn't get it. People who value "patriotic" and "national interest" above all else are still voting Conservative. But if you can't afford a home, you don't care about "national interest". If your season ticket has gone up yet again, you don't care about "patriotic". "It's in the national interest" was her response to the nurse who challenged her about low pay in the GE interview and look how that went down.
Unless she genuinely pulls a rabbit out of the hat in her speech, my expectation of the next election has swung this week from "too close to call" to Labour win.
It's what Yes, Minister would call an irregular verb.
plebsleavers in the stalls.I guess he didn't go to the Labour conference then.
Both main parties are in their worst state in my lifetime.
It was really funny yesterday watching Gavin Williamson (a bloke who shouldn't be anywhere near ministerial office; another black mark against May) sauntering through conference with nobody around him, and then Boris after him surrounding by a hundred photographers. LOL.
Labour though are sinking deeper and deeper into the mire and that is long term
Hopefully long gone by next Summer.
Chequers 1.66
Canada 2.0
Boris 2.5
Global Trading Nation 6.0
Norway at 6.0 is tempting.
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately (we'll see later!) I'm limited to tuppence-ha'penny on each bet anyway.
ETA it might explain why Trump is so keen to get Kavanaugh's bottom on the Scotus bench, if he is worried about being prosecuted for tax evasion.
Tory MP: We need a strong leader
James Duddridge has submitted a letter of no confidence in Theresa May.
The MP for Rochford and Southend East says in his letter to Graham Brady, chair of the 1922 committee: “I am normally a loyalist, served in the Whip’s Office for nearly five years and have never voted against the government.
“However, there comes a point that blind loyalty is not the right way forward.
“We need a strong leader, someone who believes in Brexit and someone to deliver what the electorate voted for.
“The Prime Minister seems incapable of doing this.
“I have not met a single MP who thinks she will lead us into another election after the last disastrous snap election.
“We will fail to cut through on issues other than Brexit until we are beyond Brexit, yet the can is kicked further and further down the road.
“I write this with heavy heart, however we now need a proper leadership election and to move on.”
Headlines in our local paper.
Having gone to four weekly bin collections Aberconwy Council are seeking an 11.8% council tax rise next year.
This is in Labour run Wales
I expect her to announce a series of steps her government will take in the next few weeks for the latter possibility.
Insread backstabbing her this morning looks like a cowards way of doing it to me. Not quite Mark Reckless but not far off.
Of course things might change in the next hour or so.
Stupid stunt.
But talk about setting the bar low... All reminds me of IDS's leadership I must say...

She won't be long gone by next summer - there's too much going on to take two months out on a leadership election - but I do think she'll go during next summer.
