    So looks like between Boris and Raab for next PM obviously both of them won't get to the last 2 but 1 of them definitely will probably in a run off against Hunt or Gove and while Gove maybe popular among his fellow MPs he is despised by the membership for stabbing Boris in the back so has no chance in a run off who ever he faces. Boris or Raab face Hunt again Hunt loses as tarnished by being an avid supporter of Doris deal. Unless something dramatically changes no one else has a look in so Raab or Boris for next PM, I hope its Boris but think it will be Raab as the stop Boris campaign will probably succeed in stopping him getting to the last 2.

    I had an uncle in the haulage business up in Doncaster. He owned several trucks and drove many European routes during the 80's and 90's. He sold up in early 2000's because it was no longer profitable. He loved the driving but could no longer compete.

    The Tories have to vote in Boris as leader. No-one else will do if they want to carry on with brexit. The electorate won't trust anyone else to deliver it, certainly not Gove.

    The Brexit Party failed to win Peterborough. They came close, edging the Tories into third but close is simply not enough. Was this their best chance to win a seat, a marginal that swaps between Tories and Labour on a regular basis?

    Boris as leader of the Tories would probably kill the brexit party altogether.

    ^ The Brexit Party is struggling to get the Labour leave voters because it's clearly seen as a more centre right party.

    If Labour had come out as either a leave or a remain party they probably would have lost this seat - many Labour voters are just hanging on, not sure what to do, not wanting to vote Tory or Liberal/Greens; traditional Labour voters don't have anywhere else to go with their vote. I'd say the Labour voters are, especially outside London/Scotland, more than 50% leave, so as soon as Labour come out as a remain party they are fuked. But, how much longer can Labour go on playing this ridiculous game of sitting on the fence (Corbyn wanting to leave, many of the other senior figures being 100% remain)???

    The Brexit Party didn't take as many votes off the Tories as expected. Considering they were clear favourites to take the seat it can only be seen as yet another fail for Farage.

    It just shows that the voters doesn't want him in the British parliament where they would be stuck with a one-question party led by a one-trick pony for years.
    This is why he will also lose in a GE but was able to win in a EU MEP election where those voting for him doesn't expect him to sit more than a few month.

    all brexit related no doubt.

    outside of the usa, people dont want fords. they are unfashionable and seen as lower end, even though they are as good if not better than many of the german cars, people want branded german cars or the more reliable and better priced cars from korea and japan, and within the next 5 years i expect the chinese will have upped their game and be taking an even larger share of the shrinking market.

    the eu benefits mostly the germans, who have sucked dry the weaker euro states such as italy, spain, greece and portugal. the poorer eastern european members are losing their youth along with their brains thanks to migration to the richer western states. discontent is growing, fracture lines are developing and the natives are growing restless. we have nothing to fear in getting out, once it is finally over and some kind of stability returns, which it will, then investment will return and your precious £ will grab back some of its former glory.

    ave just got to take a punt and hope it works. and i consider brexit a punt worth taking. if only to free ourselves from the inevitable slow german takeover of europe. they enrich themselves and throw the rest of us the scraps. their endless lobbying dictating eu policy

    its an opportunity to be grasped. and we should grasp it fearlessly with both hands and we would be trading as before with the eu within 6 months.
    Once again you espouse the common delusions of the shallow Brexit thinker incapable of the dismal insight that what he thinks are his own miserable callow thoughts are in fact no more than the accretion of propagandising rhetoric relentlessly churned out by the right wing nationalists indoctrinating the stupid, the ignorant, the deluded ( you) and the lower end racist/bigot too dumb to realise they are being played for the lumpen morons used the world over as fodder manipulated by demagogues and their shill mouthpieces .

    You are simply another willing drone flocking to the banner of the nationalist Englander draped in the robes of cod imperialism and phoney economics, a religion of anachronism the hidebound Tory tusker has been proselytising from the pulpit of hypocrisy for fucking years - they hated losing control of backroom government from the shady corners of their clubs and ivory towers of privilege and they want it back.

    And this so-called loss of sovereignty to the evil grasping Hun is just another slippery piece of cod doctrine from the catechism of the Brexit Book of Bollocks, first used by the slithering weak Greeks desperate to evade responsibility for years of fraudulent mismanagement feeding their avarice. A convenient hook and one used to ensnare the willing dupe, old and young alike, as they are fed the daft line they could have been, and will be, richer if they quit the evil German hegemony.

    It's shite, always was but plays well to the English stupid and bovine bred on racist pap and mawkish nostalgia about the fucking war when Britannia ruled the fucking waves and fought alone against the Teutonic hordes.

    Britain has always been free to do what it wants, when it wants and how it likes. The propaganda about the EU being rent in two by the greedy North pillaging the South plays well to the racist and ignorant fat Brit who cannot stomach the reality he is the coon of Europe, lazy, unproductive and addicted to ersatz Americana, badly educated and in their drunkenness the most prolific breeder of illegitimate children in Europe. The true unemployment rate of the UK is in fact 16% once one strips away the bogus jobs designed to access welfare by the self-employed and part time , the zero hours slave work and the thousands of young on spurious training/apprentice schemes designed to keep them off-register. But the reality of the EU is hard to bear and puts paid to the Brit bollocks of stereotyping, Italy manufactures more than the Brit, Spain is rapidly catching up and near to overtaking, and the likes of Poland and the East are showing growth of 6% attracting their migrants back to the dynamism of their economies.

    Tax, you are a busted flush of tenth rate slogans, petty prejudices and senile nostalgia, a wet wang of whimsy tied to your bathchair of loathsome, spittle-flecked, swivel - eyed bigotry.

    But the real kicker is, you profess an interest in cars yet even there you are driven by the doctrine of ignorance and stupidity that so overwhelms the dull brained Brexit buffoon. You smuck, Ford are consistently the top of the league of new cars sold in Britain, with the Fiesta usually in top slot and the Focus alternating between second and third, and their sales in Europe are equally solid.

    You silly old man, the future was always the EU, but like all gummy, rheumy-eyed geriatric Northern twats suckling on the wizened paps of Tory bigotry dispensing malice and delusion as if it were a whore mother's milk, you are doomed to reap nothing but a desiccated, mouldering half-life of broken dreams fostered by your rank jingoism foundering on the rocks of hubris.

    In the final analysis, you and your wretched ilk are a stupid bore, criminally naive and every bit repellent as the Nazi goose stepper standing on the shoulders of their victims.

    Wake up!

    Thank you. I woke up later than usual, we dined with Fritz last night on a particularly fine dish of fricassee of chicken in a parsley cream sauce on a bed of asparagus with pommes frites and perhaps one too many San Mig Lites, and I do like to reel off a nice diatribe to get me started of a day.

    I suppose I miss my chums in Britain when we could spar in active debate keeping ourselves on our toes but lampooning stupid Brexit idiots in the cybersphere is a reasonable second best.

    Ah well, and now, I must catch up with my Netflix/BBC library before I have another dreary day, not working, by my infinity pool overlooking that tedious strand of white sand frilled by those lazy swaying palms and then off to wander aimlessly the halls of Central Festival before I shop for those Eureopan delicacies in the basement supermarket postponing the dreadful moment when we must decide to either eat-in on our balcony below the star-speckeled firmament or eat Thai at the harbourside restaurant selling fresh kung by the bucket.

    Gosh, and to think I could be driving a fucking truck on the M6 returning to my suburban bothy in some cruddy Crewe social housing experiment to watch Love Island drinking from my can of Sam Smiths, or I could be eating fish and chips with a bunch of toothless Northern twats in a dingy ersatz gastro-pub in fucking Scarborough watching the sheets of rain squalling in from the grey North Sea.

    My life is just so hard, Butters!

    Very well said S.A. I didn't think it was possible to write so much irrelevant shite in one go. But then why deviate from your other 500 posts on Brexit. Your ignorance of economics is spectacularly breathtaking.
    When your only backer is an Algerian immigrant who thinks he is a European simply because he's just learnt how to sit on a toilet seat rather than stand on it and that the adjacent roll of paper should be used rather than one's hand, should speak volumes.
    May I offer two tips?
    Tip one: Google only works when you have enough knowledge of a subject to separate fact from fiction, otherwise you tend to take any shite as fact and in ignorance, repeat it to people that do know, showing yourself to be a rather stupid ignorant fellow rather than some intellectual.
    Tip two: That "Y" in your underpants is supposed to be at the front.

    Hugh, he is a blustering fool. He genuinely thinks the repetitious diatribe he makes us wade through is crafted genius. I can only imagine the groans from his boss when got picked to produce some written brief - i suspect it went in and about 95% was redacted leaving two lines from 2 sides of A4.

    Care to point out what specifically in that post was inaccurate? I thought it was rather concise but specifically it did not mention any economic theory in depth so your comment seems odd at best.

    Vote Tory get Labour. The Tories did better than I expected getting 7k + votes which I will put down to people being happy Doris is going and renewed hope and optimism among the voters that Boris will end up as PM. UK politics currently is no longer left and right it is all about leave or remain and Labours current strategy of fence sitting is still working to a degree as no one has a fucking clue where they stand on the issue but they will have to make a decision at some point.

    Also always being one to give credit where it's due, Labour along with momentum are extremely good at mobilising people getting them out canvassing and door knocking much more than any other party. Even had that repulsive pipsqueak Owen Jones with a gang of followers round my picturesque Cheshire village for the local council elections.

    Princess you seem to have gotten blown a little off course and found yourself white knighting for a sexpat ex Civil Servant.

    I suspect its the use of terms like racist and nationalist which have messed with your compass and played to your faux armchair socialist sympathies. Do you realise that in his time occupying a desk and getting paid by the taxpayer to produce this drivel, that Mr Sausages was responsible alongside the Govt of the day for introducing work schemes like the Youth Training Scheme and here he is decrying another Govt for their apprentice schemes.

    She was just stepping down as leader of the Tory party today will step down as PM when a new leader has been chosen.
