Next Tory Leader - The Long Road to #10

I wish I could get the biggest job in the UK by putting in a 12 week graft at work.

Incredible.

Michael Gove's statement in full:

Yep that's how you become a PM. Do 12 weeks work. Pretty sure it's a long process of being a party member, getting elected as an MP, working for years for your constituents, getting a cabinet position...

I was commenting on the reasons why anyone would support him.

Depending on your view point, he's done very well over the last 3 months with regards the Leave campaign.

His career in government has been a disaster. He was sacked from his post in education, leaving the department in such a shambles his successor has been unable to do anything with it in 2 years.

where he's been abysmal

Guido has it with paragraphs and line breaks. The BBC has it continuous as part of their live streaming. I haven't seen how it was originally done.

Gove has been elsewhere since the cabinet, chief whip etc. Anyway he's thrown his hat in and YMMV as to whether he will be a successful PM or not.

Think he's a decent guy (MG) but not convinced he's PM material.

Not that keen on TM either so that leaves Boris.

Theresa May knocking it out the park with her speech this morning.

Well there's some decent jobs going right now. England manager, Labour Leader, Prime Minster. I guess if 12 weeks of graft is all that's needed I'll get cracking on my CV and see you all in 12 weeks.
