    I think his politics are generally ok but I disagree a bit. He wasn’t liked by cabinet colleagues by all accounts (putting it mildly) and it’s often appeared that it’s all about HIM

    You just fancy her ging.

    I must be missing something but I see nothing exceptional about her at all. Logical choice would be Hunt. Maybe too early for sunak but he would be my choice

    She is not in one of the bigger jobs and is not tainted by the bad decisions.

    I cannot stand the man but it looks like a coup to try to get Hunt into the job. He is not in the government.

    It is about Brexit to some extent. The majority of the British political class (including the parliamentary Conservative Party) is opposed to Brexit. Plenty of them can never forgive Johnson and are determined to get their revenge, with help from their allies in the media. Getting a Remainer like Hunt in charge is the aim.

    I do not like Johnson but let’s not be under any illusion about the motives of this attempted coup.

    Even after Johnson survived the confidence vote, I knew he was in trouble. At PMQs, his own MPs have mostly been sitting there with their arms folded and stern expressions on their faces, giving him very little if any support. I think I posted here that he looked like a football manager who has lost the dressing room. That only ever ends one way.

    Not at all, Clive. LOl
    Just needs someone – seen by the public as – new.

    Hunt would make a good PM, imo Gove would be the best Prime Minister, but I doubt either will get the public vote and the party needs to look at the next general election.

    I thought Sunak voted for Brexit.
    Think you’ll find the Conservative Party is pretty much still for Brexit.

    Ginge if Boris had been competent he should have been in a untouchable position with that majority , his lies and failures have brought him down not a group or individual
