Don't know whether to laugh or cry

That, and I really couldn't care less who leads them.

You shouldn't mix your tablets, or learn to spot irony.

The press seem to be dropping Gove because Leadsom is more insanely pro-Brexit, and has the support of IDS

As a lifelong Labour supporter these are sad times I find myself in. British Politics has gone to shit. I have always been a proud Brit proud to call us the greatest country in the World but not in the last week.

I am witnessing the end of the Labour Party as we know it and the Tories who have spent 35 years arguing amongst themselves over Europe finally getting what they want.

Theresa May is the most competent and statesmanlike of the candidates and is someone who will likely not ensure we are laughed on the World stage unlike the weird looking Gove.

As for the Labour Party a new party will be created in my opinion with about 170 MP's creating another constitutional crisis. It can't happen soon enough as the Mad left have infected the party beyond repair.

yeah but got a feeling Leadstrom will beat may if she can get past gove and its down to two. problem for may is that most tory mp's were remain however most of the party faithful are brexiters. basically same problem as they have in labour MP's at odds with the grass roots

nah i reckon corbyn will go after chilcott he just wants to stay and give blair a kicking just to say he was right over the iraq war.

also looks like farage is after carswell again

Greens having a change of leader as well

looks like tim farron is the only one safe thats prob because only got 8 mp's

Plus Gove is regarded as toxic after his recent antics. All the betting money is now going on May and Leadsom, with Gove in 3rd place.

Gove is best summed up by his admission that no economists were in favour of Brexit and they were all warning against it, but it didn't matter because "people in this country have had enough of experts".

The fact that the Mail came out for May After Mrs Gove Letter said that Both Dacar the Mail Editor and Rupert Murdoch wouldnt go for Boris speaks volume she might have shot his bid in the foot

She abstained from voting for same sex marridge, which wont go down well with what is the most trendy issue in the country today.
