Christmas Tree

Aye, I think I was first to flag him up as a good passionate performer. Only flaw is he does have a very short fuse. (Not in this vid btw). My most detested MP (other than smug Caroline nails down a blackboard Lucas) is Dominic Raab. Not sure which backwater elected him but to coin a phrase, there's something of the night about him. Horror of a man.

Boris "on manoeuvres". Sounds like a quick coronation to me. Can't see May carrying on in that state.

May just interviewed. Looks a broken woman. Might not last the week.

To sum up, The Tory party is at the fag end of talent. They have no one to match Corbyns campaign persona and Boris I think, while jovial, has worn thin with most voters. That won't stop all the plotting for her job which in turn will spread a cancer of deceit and desperation within the party. In the coming weeks May will be bent over a desk in Brussels and sent on her way home with laughter ringing in her ears. At the same time she will be humiliated at PMQ's, destroyed in the press and no doubt subject to very harmful finger pointing from the fallout of the terror attacks. Police federations, NHS staff, etc will all raise the volume of descent and the Tories will go into panic mode. She'll get the heave ho in less than 3 weeks and the fag ends will spend several indulgent weeks selecting a new leader. This won't change anything, the EU will play hardball (blaming the Tories) and a general election will be called. Corbyn will this time romp home. Given the rise of the youth and the a lot of leave voters appeased by the money tree, It would not surprise me to see Labour going into that election offering to reverse Brexit. Labour will then bankrupt the country and we'll be back to austerity.

Yup

When do the boundary changes come in

And labour have leavers

How old will he be in 5 years?

They don't want to have a leadership campaign as it will look indulgent whilst Brexit is about to start. No big domestic policy will go through Parliament (Brexit repeal bill apart which will be tricky). small majority I suggest points to a hard Brexit or the eurosceptics will kick off. Hope Brexit goes well and at some point ease May out the door in a year or two. 5 year parliament keeps then fairly safe. But yes, this result is the worst scenario of all with regard to parliament working well.

Yup, think so

Nuttals gone

They want a soft Irish border as does everyone tbf, however the hard line brexiteers now have the upper hand due to the numbers.

She's off to see the queen at 12.30

Seems current Tory plan is to continue for the next 5 years as minority government and avoid a GE at all costs (or possibly after boundary changes). Will result in a fairly weak queens speech (unless they decide to cherry pick some labour policies) and things like winter fuel and social care will be scrapped. Also think we're going to get royally dry humped off Europe.

She'll carry on until they figure out what to do about governing / Brexit. Torys would be destroyed if they indulged in a leadership campaign while the UK burns. That said I think it's all going to come crashing down very quickly and the ONLY solution will be another election.

Coalition of Labour / Tory? National unity government for 2 years

Dont forget a Tory leadership campaign

No choice, they won't be able to govern with such a small majority.

Another GE very soon.

Went to bed, fell asleep, got leg cramp. Now back on election duty. @Rayvin Corbyn is going to be PM very soon. Patience.

Rudds 2 hours away

Ive seen enough. JC WILL be the next PM. Time for a few hours kip and then up to watch Andrew Neil pull wings off. Whats worse, just come upstairs and the six year old is watching TV great parenting.

Thats what I'm hoping for. Otherwise it is chaos for months. A lose lose for everyone.
