All that avocado toast, though.
Conservative Party Leadership contest down to two: Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson
Unsurprisingly Johnson and Hunt are the finalists. Johnson will win with ease.
Imagine thinking Gove was a tough opponent.
Not hard to believe that Boris has organised a group of his disciples to push Hunt ahead of Gove.
Boris will have a lot less trouble going up against a remainer than he will a Murdoch backer Brexiteer, even if it is Gove.

Thinly veiled prejudice?
If people are being targeting with hate because of their religion, then surely the reason for that hate should be analysed.
What do you suppose is the cause of Islamophobia, and why other religions are not targeted?
People hate Christians in America?
Anyway. As a "non-muslim," I do care about islamophobia. I live in a multi cultural city with a multicultural family that includes non-practising Muslims. I'd like to think that our government doesn't treat them or think of them as any different to the rest of society.
Why would they?
Imagine having to be lent the votes of people who think Boris will make a better pm just so that you can get more people to vote for you than POB
I suspect hunt knows that a very gentle campaign will see him keep a cushy cabinet post.
When will BoJo be officially made the PM then? I drunkenly put 10 quid on him to get the job and I want my money back.
I've disliked a few prime ministers in my 34 years. This will be the first time I'm disgusted and ashamed of the prime minister of my country.
Bung him a few more quid and he'll give you a cabinet post.GDaly95 said:
Where have you been for the last 3 years?
The week of the 22nd of July.
Does parliament have to be open for him to officially become pm?
Think the conservative election won't be finished before summer recess... So reopens on early September... Probably then
Shuts down again mid sept till early October
Very little time for anything to come before the house of commons in terms of legistlation
So we are well on course to this :
The Tory party members won’t accept another ex-Remainer leading their sacred cause and so we’ll finally catch up with the likes of the US, Hungary and Brazil in having a populist charlatan in charge. The only slight glimmer of hope is that, with such a polarising, incompetent figure, there is more chance of a vote of no confidence succeeding in the HoC than with Hunt or Gove.
Doesn't even compare.
Why did Rees-Mogg not put himself forward then?
He probably realises whoever takes the UK through brexit will end up politically radioactive. (Plus he has no cabinet experience)
Suspect he will find himself a cushy number for backing Boris (chancellor?)
All ready to move next door in a couple of years
Yeah fair point

Conservative Party MP Mark Field grabs a climate change protestor by the neck at a dinner
It's very concerning that that is all it took to provoke a man into putting his hands on a woman like that. Look at the state of him. If that had been a man I guarantee he'd have done feck all but sit in his chair moping and fantasising about killing poor people. Obviously, he feels brave enough to tackle a woman though.
Indeed. Had the unarmed woman protesting against the lack of action in response to climate change instead being a bomb/acid/gun wielding terrorist, we would be praising the right honourable Mark Field for his immeasurable bravery. Really makes you think, doesn't it?
it do be like that sometimes
She wasn't supposed to be there. He pushed her out, not a big deal
That gives him the right to put his hands around her neck and push her up against a pillar? If you saw a man do that to a woman you wouldn't intervene?
Some say school shootings are bad, but what if the school shooter hit the entrance exam to a particular Austrian art school in the 1900s?
Really? this is the first? really?
I mean, you have lived under Thatcher and Blair.

I’m loathe to defend whoever that Tory bastard is on the video but if you change some details about the meeting it’s a very different conversation
Always a tweet in situations like this...
The longer video of the woman simply walking in and not being aggressive at all looks worse for Field, and this:
Twitter is riddled with folk saying that she deserved it because of the disruption she causes. If these dozy Tory bastards refuse to look outside of their bubble at what's going on in the world then don't be surprised when the problems come to them.
