Peterborough By-Election

[Rhodes]

What do we think of the result last night folks, I was quite surprised that Labour were voted back in albeit very narrowly, the BREXIT party can count themselves unlucky at not having secured their first Parliamentary seat

Yes Labour were very lucky considering the state of them theses days.

I have to agree with the above.

Lesser of two evils but not by much.

Why do you say that, the party was only founded in January of this year and then, incredibly, won the European Parliament election in the UK just four months later with an amazing 31% of the votes before coming so close to winning in Peterborough earlier this month, I wonder what could possibly be next up Nigel Farage's sleeve.

And on the Tory leadership front, I see we are now down to 6 contenders from 10.  Anyone fancy a punt ?

I don't really follow politics to be honest and these days I follow it even less. Ive been hearing Boris Johnsons name mentioned a lot over the last few days so I'm guessing that he might be the front runner for the job in the race for the hot seat.

I tend to agree.  A good thing or a bad thing ?  I can't make my mind up.

A good thing i think.

I have little faith in politics if im honest. They all seem as bad as each other in my opinion.

I watched SOME of last nights Channel 4 debate, (Minus Boris, of course).

 

What a lack-lustre bunch.

 

It's gotta be Boris.  Next round of voting tomorrow, (Tuesday).

Looking like Boris

Don't be so sure, a lot of people like the look of the down to earth Rory Stewart and what you see is what you get

[Big J R]

I watched last nights BBC debate and wasn't impressed by any of 'em, including Boris.

 

To be totally honest, I thought Rory Stewart came out of it the worst.  He reminds me of a vents dummy !!  Sorry Rory

Not at all, how is it that his popularity has soared through the roof recently then

We know why Boris kept his distance now - he’s not got a real plan

Just like Baldrick  -  'A Cunning Plan' !!

They are all gambling that they can do a deal with the EU over the backstop. We'll see.

[Big J R]

So it's Boris or Hunt.  To be decided by the party.

 

Lay your bets, Ladies and gentleman !!

[cup of tea]

It's going to be Boris, surely.

The problem is that he's promised to leave on October 31st come what may. That suggests a no-deal Brexit.
