    I expect he wrote BREXIT on the ballot in large letters.

    So which one of the 2 is going to offer Sajid Chancellor? Or has Boris got in first?

    Maybe, Grieve, Greening, or Lee.

    The TV Tower https://www.fernsehturm-stuttgart.de/ revolving restaurant at the top was a good place to take young ladies.

    You used to take young ladies up the revolving restaurant? That's a new one on me.

    Javid eliminated

    Gove overtakes Hunt for 2nd

    Oh damn. I am not liking this. A sentence I am saying all too often... :)
  • MysticroseMysticrose Posts: 4,688
    Well the key thing now is whether Johnson's lot tactically vote for Hunt.

    Not really sure why Sajid bothered, but I suppose that's easy to say in hindsight.

    Talking of which:

    Two spoiled papers!

    Those dicks won't draw themselves on the ballot paper.

  • IanB2IanB2 Posts: 50,995
    Lee and Greening are the two most likely to defect IMO

    When you think about it, quite a few suspects for those drawing a massive cock on their ballot paper.

    In which case, the new leader has no working majority in the House of Commons even with the DUP.

    Boris over 50% now

    To be honest if they are that unhappy best they resign the whip

    Johnson with >50% of the MPs now.
  • FregglesFreggles Posts: 3,486
    So where do Javid's votes break?
  • rottenboroughrottenborough Posts: 65,217
    Hunt coming in to 16.5

    Thinking is most Javid's will go to him?

    To be honest, watching Sky the past hour or so, they have been wrong on basically everything.

    Boris will lend votes to hunt now to kill off Gove

    At least they're enthusiastic about the whole thing.

    Even worse, it used to carry the death penalty. There is an appalling story in I think Alvarez' The Savage God about a bloke who cut his throat, and was very difficult to hang because the wound kept opening up.
    Good grief, that's terrible.

    The Dream Team! They're now voting for people who can beat Johnson. Only Gove can do that because no one else could be as unscrupulous. Four weeks for Mrs Vine to work her magic.

    No - needs to go through the hustings and not have a coronation
  • eekeek Posts: 29,589
    Boris has 47 votes to play with - that's going to be fun...
  • AndyJSAndyJS Posts: 29,395
    If Hunt gets knocked out tonight, I wonder if we'll get any Tory MP resigning from the party?

    Something I've mentioned previously, but when William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) was hanged, the deep razor cut on his face, a souvenir of 1930s street fighting, burst open.

    Hammond the other?
    Greening maybe.

    @Scott_P thanks for that link to the Brookes' cartoon. makes me think of that Douglas Bader 3 Fokkers joke.

    Result:

    Johnson 160
    Hunt 77
    Gove 75

    I hereby declare, with complete lack of logic, that we can count all non Boris votes together, and therefore it is effectively Johnson 160, Hunt 152. See, very close.

    If Boris runs the country as well as he has run this contest, we will be fine......


    He has a lot less control over relevant factors when running the country. Even of the factors he has controlled during the contest, they will be far more unreliable when it comes to actually governing. So it seems a faint hope.

  • kle4kle4 Posts: 98,367
    I hope the petition succeeds. 10% does not seem a high barm even with the Tories not contributing and the physical element to signing.
