A few pages back (I think) someone bumped this thread and wondered why it didn't take off like the Labour change thread. I think the answer to that is that no one, despite massive head scratching, has any idea of any answers to the question. There's no obvious alternative candidiate for PM and there are no stand out members of the cabinet. The only vaguely acceptable people appear to be few and far between, like Anne Soubry. But she tells it like it is, so that makes her a non-starter.
Outside of political views, the most worrying thing for the Tories must be the level of incompetence running throught their party. Look how bad May is - then look who her last rival was for the party leadership - Calling for the media to be more patriotic over Brexit negotiations - I mean what is she on about?
Agree but the stupid women thinks that we should all be flying Union flags and can't understand why not everyone feels the same way as her.
Patriotic? I am a Lee SE London patriot and all you bastards in Lewisham, Grove Park, Eltham, and Blackheath can fuck off, no seamless border here. As for Bromley, Bexley and Shooters Hill...thar be Dragons!

I don't even think of Lee as being a distinct area. Its Lewisham isn't it.

While it is too soon for her, I have been very impressed by Heidi Allen recently. She seems to talk a lot of sense, comes across very well in interviews and gave a very good speech against tax credit cuts to parliament. I can see her going very far and playing an active part in modernising the conservatives if they have any common sense.

Fighting talk. Beware, Lee has it's own independent arsenal of an array of Old Colfeian cricket bats.

That was me @cafcfan, but it was a shameless attempt to boost the amount of discussions made on a thread I started as everything else I had ever started had failed to get past 10 (apart from the haiku thread which is a work of art).
Still only been going for two weeks and now have a #target300 committee helping push it on.
All that the Tories have to do now is ditch Lynton Crosby & campaign positively with proper consideration of policy & look to things that work. Rather than being fixated on the free market, small state, minimal regulation solutions for everything, whether it makes sense or not. Not seeing that they have learnt any lessons yet.

I just love that to save money, he kept his tweed jacket from when he was a kid and now makes his son wear it. This is the type of man we want in charge: someone who wears a shirt, tie and jacket while in his own home.......
Rees Mogg has only been able to sustain the slightly amusing upper class Twit thing for so long. If you think about his appearances over the past few years it has mostly been to express criticism of one thing or another. In a recent interview he became a bit irritable mainly because he was invited to actually suggest something. Rees Mogg is an old fashioned reactionary who clings on to the vacuum of an idea of what Britain ought to be but hasn't the will or wit to express any progressive ideas at all. He has stopped being mildly amusing and morphed into the patrician c**t he really is, he would be able to define plebs and oiks to a tee.
I love listening to Rees-Mogg speak - he's so posh it's ridiculous and as for the names of his sons.... Tom Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Peter Theodore Alphege, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam and Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius. The poor daughter is simply called Mary.
Jeez is this the same jacket from 2009? Or has he a whole stash of them?
Once you get over 50 you work out what you like and what size it is then you just keep buying the same thing. Saves ever having to go clothes shopping if you do it online.
That in no way constitutes a defence of JRM, although I feel a little sorry for his eldest son.

Well, the Tory party has to really want to change.
Theresa May has no credibility left - Boris or Jacob Rees-Mogg deserve a shot at leadership so we can have a posh idiot in charge.
Beautiful!

Ideal PM material...
Here he is with his Bagpuss (and Clanger) collection.

I didn't see to many kids like that at Eltham Green in the early 80's.
