Now that the Tory machine have dumped their electoral disaster, Lyin Boris, (maybe)



The grunts are now jockeying for pole position to succeed him, with Suella Braverman already saying she’s interested.
Bookies have Ben Wallace as early favourite

Gormless Gove an outside bet

Interesting that you use "jockeying for position", rumour has it that it will, initially at least, be a big field. Plenty of runners and riders.
Hunt will definitely be in there.

It has to be said that many will be damaged goods, not having been brave enough to stand up and be counted when the no confidence vote was made a few weeks ago.
And for those who sat on their hands or publicly backed BJ, how could anyone trust their judgement ?

Why would you not throw your hat in the ring as a Tory MP? Straight in as PM and not exactly a tough act to follow.

Sunak and Javid resigned, they need a clear run to number 10.

The Brains Truss?
Mad Nad?
The Mogg?

Let's be honest, these three fit a couple of the key criteria:
- They are so self unaware that they might actually think they have the intellect and ability to do the job
- Tory members are so unhinged that they might actually vote for them in the leadership election

Absent a win by any of them I think we can say goodbye to all of them in the cabinet going forward under relative heavyweights like Wallace or Tugendhat. Johnson's chaotic and unstable administration was hallmarked by him surrounding himself with idiots and inadequates.

I want Ben Wallace as he’s my local MP and personally stepped in when my step daughter, who was relocating, didn’t get the school that was on her door step. Not only that, he moved on a load of “travellers” that the local council and inept police force had failed to do for months

Did you vote for him in the last general election?

I remember the days when the EU referendum was going to fix internal divisions within the Conservative party...

I didn’t actually vote in the last election!

A bit like me then

It appears to be who can promise more tax cuts, public spending squeeze, supporting Brexit and sending asylum seekers to Rwanda or maybe somewhere else. The latter may become even more of a problem because Rwanda is currently being threatened with military action.
There is of course no mention of how they will pay for this but currently they are only appealing to their colleagues in the commons.

Referring to my previous post to jukesay and not to you regarding my less knowledgeable outcome regarding politics, this post of your is it factual or simply hearsay, innuendos and half truths, because your opening sentence doesn't seem to say anything truthful only it appears, which if your honest is not very forthcoming and hints of a bit of mischief making, is there any wonder nobody believes a word you say, surely wouldn't you agree it would be better to leave out stuff like that and wait for the truth, unless you your just guessing so that you can claim insider knowledge and be the first to say you heard it here first.

Sorry you are wrong again because each candidate has given one or more of these topics in their opening pitch to gain votes. I wouldn’t trust what they say but it does not mean they have not said them however, why do you think it is hearsay in your world of questionable neutrality.
I wish you would read before you post because your attempts to try to embarrass me is becoming just too easy to disprove which makes you appear clueless in what goes on outside your fish tank in the big clear world.

Just three simple words, [uIt would appear[/u hth, to me that states hearsay and nothing else in my world, I also wouldn't trust what any politician says and on the strength of that unlike you I wouldn't use that against anybody just to justify my innuendos against them, funnily enough I don't attempt to embarrass you as you do a perfectly good job of doing it yourself with your endless lies, want me to post a few, thanks to you I have the most famous fish tanks on here, hope your not jealous cos your garden gnomes don't get a mention, anyway It's teatime so I won't be replying, you can have the last say again, I'd like to say it's been interesting.

Does every thread have to go this way?

I post lies that’s funny and yes “it would appear” does not mean here say it is what I have worked out by listening to reports on the news and reading. It’s called thinking for yourself and understanding the world, I think you have been around fish for too long because your memory appears to last as long. I am sure many will back me up but I doubt many will agree with you stance.
I would point out again I did not buy my house directly from the council nor do I have any garden gnomes and I have never undertaken line dancing which are a few untruths you have used are they not.
I would suggest you go now foggy and work on your people skills because you don’t appear to have a lot of friends amongst those who know you or met once or even seen from a distance.

Hopefully not anymore, no more response from me matey, I've already ignored his last post

I would much prefer not to be involved here but previous warnings don't appear to have had the desired effect

So, to be clear this warning is aimed at both Scarlet Pimpernell and chissitt ... if you wish to constantly bicker and snipe please find an alternative route for doing so, even if that is on this site but via PM's.

That way the rest of us do not need to trawl through it (or moderate it) on thread after thread.

I note that there has been an 'issue' on the Wakefield forum today necessitating the intervention of a Moderator.

Enough now.

Don’t suggest he send me PM’s me I’ve had enough of them thanks and don’t close the topic down for reasons given earlier post. I am more than happy to ignore him so providing he does the same all will be well.

It wouldn't have to be suggested if previous warnings had been heeded.


If this is an end to it there will be no reason to.


That would be a positive outcome.

What’s happened on the Wakey forum?



More action on there than on the pitch

I don’t know who she is but she was interviewed saying she would cut taxes and to pay for it, would cut welfare spending on those able bodied people that choose not to work.

She will do for me

So she hasn't said how she would fund those tax cuts? As surely nobody would fall for that that trope about welfare queen types in this day and age? Especially not after 12 years of Tories and Universal Credit etc?

And which taxes is she proposing cutting? Corporation tax no doubt

No mention of any levelling up or raising public sector wages then ?

You don't still believe that there are "single mums on benefits raking in 90 grand a year" do you?!
