So where’s your money? Bear in mind that whichever dweeb you vote for if you had a proper vote (which you don’t unless you’re a member of the Conservative Party. Taking back control) is very likely to be the next prime minister of the UK. As terrifying as that prospect is when you look at the list.
Look at his history in University. Inviting Oswald Mosley to speak on numerous occasions is not exactly a good look. Nor did he want Cambridge to accept women.
Sadly I think Boris will win. Sadly there’s no alternative much better.
On a happier note, Boris will never call a general election as his only concern will be his own position. And he knows that the house will force a general election if he tries to leave without a deal. So we are more likely to end up with another referendum with him than we ever were with May. Irrespective of his inane rambling in the Times about not paying the £39bn.
Good luck with that you utter moron. Trade talks will be fantastic if we renege on our commitments. It’s the equivalent of having to use a loan company that charges ‘only’ 2000% APR because your credit rating is in the toilet while everyone else gets a proper bank loan.
I suspect an "anyone but BoJo" campaign will be run, taking down both BoJo plus those involved in that campaign, leading to AN Other winning. Gove's fvcked over his drugs history.

Well yes. As I said in the same post.
Who’s going to beat him into the top 2? You know for a fact that if he’s in the top 2 he wins.

Still, I'm sure he outgrew those views.

That all you got? Something from 60 years ago? Anyway, I’m not particularly going into bat for Clarke but there’s absolutely no doubt that he’s one of the few, old school “one nation” Tories left in the Conservative Party.

Ken Clarke makes the current crop look like the amoral intellectual pygmies they are.

I may be cynical but I smell "Team Boris" behind this Gove cocaine issue. Surely whoever wins this will be pulling knives out of their back for however long they'll be in the job for.
This is a sad time.
It’s Raab’s team behind it apparently.
Someone who works for Raab used to work for Gove and was about to tell all,
Boris has also admitted cocaine use I think but will ride it out,
Good job none of them are poor and on a sink estate. Drugs use isn’t quite the same thing when they get caught.
Strange Dwight hasn’t commented - he was particularly put out by Diane Abbott drinking a can of M&S mojito on a train. I wonder what the difference could be...
So Gove is toast due to drug use in your opinion and Stewart is not?
Gove legislated to get teachers convicted of drug taking banned from the profession. That's a tad worse than Stewart's story.
Equally, Gove admitted deliberately taking cocaine. Stewart from memory referred to something being passed around? I can see Stewart who comes across as a dweeb doing something like that..
Also, admitting taking cocaine can lead to a ban from travelling to US, see Nigella Lawson. A bad look for a PM.
Aside from the drugs, I don't think many members trust him. Stabbing BoJo in the back last leadership fight, snidely trying to sit on the fence re Brexit...

Could have been worse for Gove bluey, could have been a mojito on London transport.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.

They’ve all entered the US and lied on the application. Gove, Raab, Stewart, Johnson...
Are there any of them that haven’t now admitted drug use?
The ones that haven’t are probably lying.
Stewart will of course have known what was being passed round. I’ve been in India and offered an opium pipe. I said no.
None of them are trustworthy Bluey. That’s the whole point.
Oh yeah Esther McVey was schooled by Marr this morning so she should find herself back on kids TV within the next few years. How the hell is she a Tory????
Your idea of Stewart is far from the reality. Hence the positions he’s held.
Re Boris - that’s a joke I assume? Even you can’t be that ridiculous.
That's a claim Boris made. Found it laughable, tbh, akin to Clinton's "didn't inhale".
Stewart may have had those positions, but we're talking in a social context. Quite frankly, he seems like a cross between an uber nerd and a puppy eager to please.

If you were familiar with the source material you’d hear regular echoes of the Mosley post-war platform, unacknowledged of course, throughout all of Clarke’s career. All of it considered cutting-edge ‘progressivism’ by those who make their living staking out and defining what constitutes that ground.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

Literally the only thing Clarke and Mosley had in common was their enthusiasm for Europe. Don’t encourage Bluey ffs.
