in all of this, today nominations are being put forward for a new Cons leader.

At the front of the pack is Stephen Crabb, [a lad made good] born in Scotland, raised by a single mother on a council estate in South Wales.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-36659421

He is likely the 'remain in the EU' person. Does that change anything if he gets to be the conservative party leader & on the basis that there isn't another general election called before article 50 is triggered.

Crabb is also saying that as the new leader he will replace Osborne with Sajid Javid as his chancellor of the exchequer

Never say never, [foolishly] just maybe another referendum looming?

Cameron wasn't as daft as first thought, he had an out (with full pension) with the referendum vote going the way that it did & triggering confusion with the stall tactic on any EU exit

No. Not clear. But I enjoyed reading it anyway! Thank you! I've missed you on the forum Tirytory!

Well, maybe if I read it more carefully and draw a diagram of what it is saying ...

Like so much of this fairy story, there's a lot you can't see through.

Absolutely clear. It goes to show the message that 'we are all in this together' for the self righteous 'what's in it for us' the Politician - 'do as I say, not as I do'

I'm not sure what people expected from him. It should have been obvious that he was going to resign if he lost - he's always been that kind of politician. And if I saw it coming, they should have as well.

I'm voting for Theresa May.

The Brexistists will hate her....

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

Last week I read that Montreal is going to ban Pit Bulls.

My stepdaughter tells me of reports in Quebec of these dogs being harmed with poison, glass and razor blades in their food.

It seems the dog legislation has validated these assaults in the same way the Brexit vote has "validated" the increased racial incidents in the UK.
