Penny Mordaunt 5/1 with William Hill.

How do all the countries in the world who are not in Europe survive not being a member of the European Union. Is that your question? It's the EU, not the UN.

Ah I see. Weel noo( in tribute to our recently arrived Scottish friends) if that is your best answer, I suppose we have to accept it. Maybe we should ask a question with less syllables in it. ( 2-1).

Explain the benefits of leaving the EU one of the biggest trading organisations in the world,
Ask the shell fish fishermen in the South west and the lorry drivers queuing at the ports if anything has changed since we left the EU ?.

Go on then, you tell us, as succinctly as possible please. Snowy was changing the subject completely - as you and he know equally well.

The Tories have ditched Johnson - because they had to - not Brexit. All the leading candidates to replace him are staunch Brexiteers. So the government will carry on down the same path. Once you get over the upset at your poster boy being dumped you'll be happy enough.

Oh dear...

Nah, you are my poster boy.
Snowy asked a question. Now we're stuck waiting for you to answer it. Waffle on as much as you like, I couldn't care less. I really won't lose sleep over your inability to answer it.

Whataboutery in action reading you reply.

I’m afraid he’s your poster boy, he excites you even now.
Have you thought this through…Boris is like Marmite…. But, just supposing the Tory’s choose some middle of the road plodder who’s as exciting as an accountant asleep and gets on with the job, the past is buried, Boris exorcised, business as usual.
Boring as shite but capable.
Sadly I won’t be voting next election, the Tories turned out to be big girls blouses and the rest already were.

Are you and Derwent in a double act? He replies for you, you reply for him.

When I said "your poster boy" I clearly meant Derwent. You've made your lofty indifference to the contending charms of various politicians clear in the past. Derwent, on the other hand, has never made a post about politics that suggested that he's anything other than a true blue Tory - and (until about yesterday) a big fan of our outgoing prime minister.

What a fence sitter this Pyes guy is.

My bet is that BJ is using this 2 month timescale to negotiate a "package"
IMO admission to the Lords would be top of his list or Governor of "Love Island"

To have his wedding party at Chequers as well .. at the expense of the taxpayer. The fat prick.

I hear Mrs May could be asked to step in as acting PM to oust BoJo almost straight away.

Apparently she has no ambition to return as PM and this could be a steady hand to oversee the election of a new leader and PM.

I suppose not a bad idea.

She was shit.
I’d rather Jeremy Corbin took over instead and I’m deadly serious.

There is no comparison Snowy . . . . Can you tell me when JC was PM? . . . . No I didn't think so.

It was only a suggestion that she would keep the seat warm whilst a new Leader and therefore PM was selected.

She was atrocious in the job and her judgement to go for a snap election and cock it up proved it. Apparently she’s the choice from the Lib Dems, so I’ll draw my own conclusions from you choice.

you will not be on your own. i have not voted since 1997 after my vote was responsible for electing blair. never wanted to see him back in power or any other tory candidate since. wanted brexit done but refused to give my tick to johnson who i have always disliked with a passion when spouting on the tele. nice to be smug now with i told you so, but unless there is a change in politics in the next couple of years the alternative of a man who cannot tell us what a bloody woman is fills me with dread.

accy.."the alternative of a man who cannot tell us what a bloody woman is fills me with dread."

..nah...the alternative will be his sidekick that slapper sharon stone...knives are already out for sir keir from resurgent corbynistas..especially since he dared say a return to e.u is not on the cards....as if...

"Anna McMorrin, the MP for Cardiff North, was also recorded outlining how she wished there might be 'some scope' to renegotiate the UK's Brexit deal with the EU if Labour were to win the next general election."

Aye MrA, they’re in the chamber screaming and shouting but scratch their surface and there’s not a fag paper between their smug middle class arses.
It’s a huge con, no politics for the people, politics for the MSM and corporates who are now telling us what and how to think.
There’ll be no more referendum’s again, too risky for the globalists.

They should call him ‘Stop Gap Starmer’ after being dumb enough to go to that meeting and make his announcement on the EU (were his fingers crossed) as his audience looked underwhelmed and disappointed to say the least…..I suspect the audience see Europe as some Nirvana, a huge political theme park for them to play in.

I never would expect a true blue Tory to be a member of the Labour Party. I joined the Labour Party when in my teens and guess what I am still a member of the Labour Party and have never been anywhere near membership of the Tory party, so you've got that wrong as well chum. Seems your judgement capabilities have distinct similarities with those of Boris.
I want the Labour Party to be a credible alternative but are nowhere near that status and, until such time as they are, I will continue to criticise.
I want the Party to be a credible alternative based on credibility and not on the incompetence of others.
I don't hold my breath waiting for you to understand any of that.

hate to quote george galloway but he got it right on this occasion. the difference between the two major parties is a penny one way and a penny the other. all the rest is just talk. if you are not a middle of the road person all you will get is dissapointments. doubt anyone is happy with the outcome of leaving the eu no matter which side they voted for. instead of free movement across europe all we ended up with is free movement for dinghy divers so having our own borders really helped.

Tony Blair would fit seamlessly into the job and would help restore little Britons credibility in the world.

I’ve joined the homeless voters. I can’t vote for Starmer or Dave and I’ve cast my last vote for the Tories. They’re a bunch of traitorous snakes.

I am genuinely gob-smacked that you are a member of the Labour party. Can't help wondering when was the last time you voted for them, but that's your business not mine, so I'm happy to leave it there.

Just finished Mussolini’s biography by Christopher Gilbert a surprising story compared to his image, but so relevant to today. I sometimes see how when faced with row upon row upon row off the same grey politician’s faces doing nothing, the people snap and go for change in an overwhelming way, not necessarily for the better.
It now appears the Tories aren’t Tories, Labour shed itself of the working class but wears the clothes for appearance sake, now a pukka middle class dream factory, like the unions.
The Lib Dems are good at organising Green bin collections, above that they struggle.
There is no national party with the National interest at heart….. they just try to convince us their warped, wet vision is ours too.

That’s why the majority of people don’t vote, there is no party with the national interest at heart.

Would be interesting in todays world of social media if benito,s popularity and rise to power would have happened. Think politics and politicians have become more grey due to the fact they live in fear of upsetting some minority or other instead of saying it is how they think it is and sod the backlash from the permanently offended on others behalf. More national interst please than likes on social media and promotion of things the majority have little or no interest in. Do think if someone came out saying they,d never be a vegan, hate cycling, find the obsession with green issues not being for them and they are there for the majority and a minority of anything is just that would get my vote.

It has been reported that Durham plods will take no further action against Kier Starmer over Beergate.
It would have been interesting seeing the two main parties looking for a new leader.

Boris Johnson has only resigned as the leader of the Tory Party but not as PM according to this,
https://youtu.be/QfpPTM_i7yw

Thats the first time i have heard the word "coup" from the mouth of a journo.
Is BJ going to try to do a Trump.
We are in uncharted waters or should i drink weaker beer.

A Labour Leader convicted in Durham?

It was never going to happen

There was pressure for the Met to head North to have a level playing field.
I still want to know why Starmer based his disastrous Hartlepool By Election campaign in DurhamCity.

Ever since I was eligible to vote, which was in the sixties, I voted Labour in every election except one and never missed voting in any of them. If you checked every post I have put on here since I first started posting on the Bunker, that involved politics, you will find that I have mainly slated the Tories. The reason I haven't done any Tory bashing of late is because I can't really criticise them because the party I support is ten times worse and have no idea how to become electable.
People think the Tory party is split. If Labour got in the in fighting would be of such proportions that it would make the Tory friction look like Cinderella's tea party.
So they think they've got rid of Boris but what they've really done is shot themselves in the foot.
Whilst Boris was in, Labour had a chance and the Tories knew this, which it was why they, and they alone, removed him.
All the opposition's armoury has been spiked in one fell swoop.
They've given the Tory party the opportunity to unite behind a new leader and that is exactly what will happen.
We are all going to witness voter wooing like never before.
It is always worthwhile keeping an eye on the big picture.
Starmer won't be outed by the Tories, Momentum and the Unions will do it for them.

Sunak stands for leader.
Could BJ restand for the post of Conservative leader?

Is that the same Sunak who was fined at the same time as Boris and who, along with his wife avoids tax through offshore accounts?

The Curry d’etat rolls on.

Aye, they’re all coming out of the woodwork like some second rate beauty pageant in Skegness innJanuary. A smarming and a promising how truthful, decent and honest they’ll be and leading us to bright sunlit uplands if they’re selected.
So just what will they do different in the practical sense because we’re in a bit of a wilderness.
The opposition have run aground and have been since the 2019 election. Starmer was on the box last night with all the karma of a used pizza box looking ever so relieved he’d been ‘cleared’…only in Durham sunshine, but he actually has no concrete policies and his role is to play the part of a talent free Rumpole feigning anger in the chamber and criticising, because apart from woke aspirations and his dubious conversion to being John Bull, I’ve never heard a single detailed policy, just rainbows and unicorn sparkle dust.
The Lib Dems are the Party of choice for two home remainers( one in Europe) and woke nonsense …. That leaves the nut jobs Party’s of Janice Jazzpipes types of climate delusionals and one man campaigners on completely lunatic topics.
The futures bright……. My arse, someone get a grip.

there will be the usual pre election give aways starting early next year at the latest. giving a bit more cash in the pockets to bribe voters and start getting tougher on illegal immegration. if they did that they cannot really lose as johnson will be blamed for the rest. thats if peoples memories are that good. 2p off a pint and seeing fuel prices drop and you are on a winner.

As a member of the Conservative party I’ll have a vote and for the life of me I don’t see any candidates who I would support. At the moment I probably won’t bother but if pushed I’d vote for Liz Truss.

Last choice is Sunak who is on a par with Judas Iscariot in the best disciple contest.

Sunak eh…? One of my lads pointed out to me that within hours of Boris resigning, Sunak is featuring on a very professionally , quality presentation video along with assorted back slapping chums singing his praises, when was this made? Surely it didn’t get threw together in the Dog and Duck an hour after Boris resigned. Draw your own conclusions.

Can it be true that the Durham Chief Constable has been awarded a £550,000. 3 year extension to her contract by Durham’s Labour Police and Crime Commissioner, seriously?

I actually don’t think he’s got a hope with the membership. Whatever Boris’ faults, Tories at grass root level don’t like disloyalty. You don’t need to be Einstein to work out that this has been a planned campaign of discrediting the PM.

He’s damaged goods anyway, the last minute rush for the lifeboat looked like someone trying to put clear blue water between him and disaster, but when the water’s up to your neck it’s too late to run anywhere.

has to be liz or priti ..the rest are snakes...and bald men don't win elections

that could be interesting. patel for the tories and starmer being replaced by raynor. all the hot air would bring the roof down in the commons.

A lot of people are not comfortable with having a "sir" as leader of the Labour party, so don't be surprised if Starmer doesn't make it to the general election. I think Rayner fancies her chances.
For the Tories the one with the least baggage is Truss, however that might change if the BBC turn their propaganda machine into her ribs.
I'd be very surprised if Sunak got the job. The Tories have worked tirelessly to get rid of a lawbreaker. Why would they want to appoint another lawbreaker to replace him.

The problem with Rayner is her strong northern accent, the right wing press would have a field day with her and her personal life. Certainly not my choice, Andy Burnham whilst from the north or a fella called peter stefanovic.neither are MPs.
