Ok I'm Doing A U Turn.......

[ToraToraTora]

BRING BACK BORIS! Penny is still my choice of the rest but it now seems a real possibility that Boris could return. He's the only real big hitter and the party and the country need him back.

//they balanced it as they ( feel they) have to do with
he broke the law, got fined and was dismissed for dihonesty no less than six //

You must have been listening to a different man, pp ... or allowing your imagination to get the better of you again.

[FatticusInch]

I hope he wins…..then they can sack him immediately after he appears in front of the PSC. That’s got to be soon, surely?

[ichkeria]

"If someone gets 100 (or a bit more) backers, that means 200+ didn't back him/her. How is that a recipe for much-needed unity? "

The 100+ backers thing is to limit the number of candidates.
It is also likely to encourage possible candidates to unite under one of them, as otherwise you get a situation where a lot of them couldn't even get to the first stage. So thereis bound, as I have said before, to be a sort of "pre-election" election to make sure there are at least two candidates.
Unless of course only one manages to get 100+. But I am betting that if Boris Johnson has another go and looks like getting to 100, his opponents will try to find one person to stop him being the only one.

Just to add, best odds at the moment are; Sunak 4/6, Johnson 2/1, Mordaunt 9/2.

[naomi24]

Oh, ok Ken. I just thought you might.

[youngmafbog]

Has Johnson actually put his hat in the ring yet?

So difficult to tell with all the spin from the MSM. Seems to change by the hour and the headlines never seem to match the actual articles anymore.

[Peter Pedant]

Boris returns? - electoral wipe out
for the tories that is

as leddy said on R4 - I stand on doorsteps and say the Tory party is the party of integrity....

and the udder tory ( pro Boris for balance) - as a tory, oh frack all that! we want boris because we voted for him in a landslide.

Beebster in disbelief - but that was before everyone found out what a lying slime ball he was....

and leddy comes back with a phrase we hear so often on AB
so what?

[ichkeria]

As a prediction, I'd see Rishi Sunak definitely getting to 100, and maybe Johnson also if he has a go.
Then they run off against each other.
A more hilarious alternative would be no one gets to 100.
Or Johnson becomes PM and has to resign again.
That, surely, is the danger.

[THECORBYLOON]

What happens if Boris is elected and is later found to have mislead Parliament?

[ichkeria]

"Has Johnson actually put his hat in the ring yet? "

We might not know who is going for it until the last minute, for the reasons I mentioned above. Rumour is likely to rule until then.

[Peter Pedant]

Has Johnson actually put his hat in the ring yet?
no he has got Carrie to throw her knickers into the ring.

.
Yeah oK as you say Naomi, the Beeb program was unbalanced
the usual....
( let me clarify - - - no no please dont)

[THECORBYLOON]

"Misled" even..

[Peter Pedant]

Leddy this am R4 - the one Naomi says doesnt exist.
god she laid into Rishi - proBoris. Jesus
I thought she was gonna come out with - and he has a brown skin which is even worse!

[FatticusInch]

The U-turn will be in vain, Johnson’s chances will be going via the U-bend.
But it’ll be fun watching all the wailing and gnashing of teeth on Monday when he’s ditched.

[naomi24]

//Leddy this am R4 - the one Naomi says doesnt exist//

Naomi didn't say that.

[gulliver1]

FCI @ 09.55 That would be funny and would be the end of the Cons for many years to come.... IWROL, LOL

[youngmafbog]

So this whole thread is not News but conjecture then?

And lies judging from the above.

[Peter Pedant]

Of course Naomi I am very grateful for the "usual clarification". You should be running the country: you couldnt do any worse

( that HAS been said before innit)

[burlyshirley1]

Boris is 53% ahead in a Daily Mail poll !

[Peter Pedant]

Not news but conjecture ?
Do remember crazy Harry on Muppets?
" But eef eet hasnt happened yet - it must be conjectuuuuuuuuure?'
+ wild crazy harry look

After this week earlier, I certainly listen to Woy Jesus
