Well, that's me not voting Conservative.
Boris must be the most unsuited person for the job ever. An entertainer wiith zero substance.0 -
I'm surprised there weren't more spoilt papers. High turnout.0

That’s a lower margin than everyone had predicted.0

2:1 victory for Boris - least surprising result ever

Now Boris waffling. Total drivel. Normally dresses this up in flowery language to pull the wool over the eyes of star-struck acolytes but even that's absent.
Turning off. It's complete bollocks.0 -
So in the end a comfortable 2 to 1 win for Boris over Jeremy Hunt.
Now over to Boris to beat Corbyn and deliver Brexit0 -
True to form, Boris is either busking this victory speech or scribbled it whilst in the back of the car....0
-
Ugh, he's such a tosser.0
-
So, 13% of Tory members are vaguely sane.0
-
Is this the worst leadership victory speech in history?0
-
What a twat. I think I'm going to vomit.0

I wonder if Boris has a surprise or two up his sleeve - 'Actually, bugger October. We're leaving the EU now.' That would be dramatic.0

Let's hope the product is better than the packaging. I'm no fan but we really need him to be bigger than he looks.
I reckon Jo Swinson DID get more votes than Jeremy Hunt - just!0 -

Interesting intervention from the EU Commissioner for food health & safety:
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/commissioners/2014-2019/andriukaitis/blog/boris-you-are-wrong_en
The programme also left one infamous quote: ‘Boris, ti ne prav’ (‘Boris, you are wrong’)!
It is a different Boris, of course, but there was something in the way of doing politics that was similar: many unrealistic promises, ignoring economic rationales and rational decisions...0 -

Probably. Boris needs to keep his opponents in the tent. Somewhere there is an article by Hague about the constraints of balancing different wings, not all of which are obvious.DavidL said:Do we take it from that that Hunt is going to keep a serious job after all?

I am pleased Johnson will be PM. I want him to appoint No Deal backers only to his Cabinet. I want the English nationalist, hard right to unequivocally own everything that happens from here. That is the quickest route to their final, humiliating defeat.1

The vaguely less than North Korean reception. It's like many in the hall had the sugar rush and then Boris began speaking. Odd .... mind you it was an odd speech - sounded unscripted, off the cuff and a little stale.Tabman said:

The Young Tory on R5L not great. "This sends a clear message to the rest of the country. Boris is the man and we need to unite behind him."
With respect, I resile.0 -
Nah, if he starts to fail he'll be attacked from the right as not being a true believer. It'll ring true too, because of his two letters and because everyone knows Boris only really believes in Boris' career.SouthamObserver said:I am pleased Johnson will be PM.

One thing us for certain, failure to commit to deliver Brexit will guarantee defeat, Boris at least gives the Tories a chance nowSouthamObserver said:I am pleased Johnson will be PM.

This doesn't look good for the Ashes...
England fast bowler James Anderson has been ruled out of his side's Ashes warm-up Test against Ireland at Lord's. Fast bowlers Mark Wood and Jofra Archer have side strains and were not named in the squad for the Ireland game, which starts on Wednesday.
Wood is unlikely to be fit before the fourth Ashes Test, which starts on 4 September, while England hope Archer could be available for the second Test, starting on 14 August.
