^ the Tory party has had this sort of make up for quite a few years now, probably the only good thing that Cameron did, so i don't think the blue rinse set will be shocked by the candidates.
Hmm, I'm not really shocked by the 'biggest tits' comment... but in spite of that sexist comment.. there are women who are sexy and smart as well. Ever think of that? Highly doubt you have the capability.Quote:

It is outdated now. It does not reflect the diversity of the current support who voted at the last election.Quote:

I don’t pretend to know the answer, but the MP diversity is much improved, and the party membership is stagnant. Unfit for the purpose of choosing a party leader.
No point changing it now then.Quote:

Their support should be referred to in the past tense.

His dad a trad patrician journo was a neighbour for a while my dad a life long Labour voter ex serviceman said he was the only Tory he had any time for since Churchill. He read the Sunday Times cover to cover, Penrose et all hd uncovered Malcolm X , Rhodesian sanction smugglers, Suvandra, Profumo the Thalidomide scandal, pre Merde Cock? Murdoch it was radical centrist serious paper, as well as the Observer to which with both contributed. Dad also contributed to the Eye and had the infamous Friday boozy lunches at the Coach n Horses near Cambridge Circus he was good Irish Toper and could drink Ingram me r David Coleman under the table whereas no man living had such hollow legs as Willy Rushton who for those unfamiliar had Brain Blessed billy Bob Thornton size appetites , ah happy days
Jacob with his faux fop, pose, tails and topper role is merely a spiv, Arthur Daley or a Soprano with a tweaky Etonian accent and all the charm of a Krait.
He makes a good point about who might be the next PM. Batshit crazy as opposed to crazy.

I posted before Boris resigned that the party lacked a pool from which to choose strong and charismatic leadership. The hasn’t changed, but now you suggest the least repellant option?Quote:

Sunak should get it, but in the hands of old duffers, that seems unlikely.
very prescient.Quote:

no shit, its not like the polls show that. The Torys have a majority and the back benchers aren't going to vote themselves out 2 years early - what was your career :)Quote:
