I'm getting bored to the back teeth by all this






...Bit like that poor pig

I have it on good authority that this is the passion wagon, where all sorts of pork related activity occurred.

Try being with 25 teens for a week, voters by 2020, The Right Honourable David Cameron Conservative Prime minster has his legacy with all the trimmings of a spit roasted pig.  

It's a hard job telling them the virtues of safe social media and the dangers of silly photos in this class less society!

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
But this little piggy...

Yep that will be about right, Englishmen can play rugby.

With IDS seemingly kicking off war in the Tory Party/Leadership contest, I thought it might be time to resurrect this thread.

Seems Osborne's hopes of becoming Tory Leader and thus PM have been sunk by IDS.
Which appears to open the way for Boris to sweep into power post EU vote. Or does it mean David Davis might decide to have another go at the Tory Leadership (given backbenchers in the Tory Party might not be in any mood to select anyone else from the Cameron, Osborne and Boris Oxbridge club). Or will it mean Theresa May has the better chance of becoming Tory Leader ? Or we will see a damaging split in the Tory Party that means we have no effective Government ? Interesting times.

I can see IDS being a stalking horse challenger to Cameron if he's really vindictive about it though.

agreed, was actually going to post that earlier when I mentioned IDS positioning himself for the party leadershipdoubt she has a chance in hell due to her flip-flopping, obvious bitterness and various feuds

100% no chance, imo.

Just cannot see it.  No way he will run again.  Been there, done that. Failed.

Some people are just not cut out to be leader.

May has always been combative. I guess the question in regards to her is will a new leader keep her at the Home Office or put her out to pasture on the backbenches. IDS always seems to have some kind of scheme going on.

You do understand the concept of a stalking horse candidate ? It triggers a leadership election, then once the serious side of it starts the stalking horse steps aside in favour of a candidate who can win. It's exactly the kind of thing IDS would do if he's angry enough. He's still sore/angry from the hatchet job Cameron and co inflicted upon him when he was leader. Revenge is a dish best slow cooked over many years and then served ice cold.

Of course IDS might not be the stalking horse himself, but you can be sure he'll likely be instrumental in getting a leadership challenge against Cameron started. He's gone out of his way to destroy Osborne's chances at the leadership. That letter was full of venom aimed at the double act that is Cameron and Osborne. The knives are being sharpened and the end might be nigh once the EU vote is out of the way (result does not matter either way).
