    I want whoever is currently being interviewed on radio 4 as PM.

    Edit: Kenneth Clarke apparently. On Boris "he's entertaining company but quite frankly he couldn't run a whelk stall" I know nothing about him but that's got my vote.

    Kenneth Clarke might as well put his name down. I can't see any other Tory with as much clout.

    Nicholas Soames is the money shot as far as legendary pro-European Tories go. His twitter is amazing.

    His twitter was amazing before any of this. Just the ultimate old man using twitter like an old man.

    I have a very clear memory of Andrew Marr on the 10 o'clock news declaring his front line career to be over in 2001, when he lost the leadership election to IDS.

    If he makes it another two years that will be 50 years in parliament.

    Ken Clarke is a twat, albeit not as big a twat as Nicholas Soames.

    And, even if Corbyn fucked off, there's nobody within Labour that would stand a chance.

    Having seen off the shitmunchers for 12 months, the correct strategic call if you are May (well on her way to being one of the great survivors in political history) is now to go absolutely full on heel turn and call a second referendum, options: Deal or Revoke A50.

    That would put on the table the two options that she (privately) probably finds palatable, and send all her opponents into a complete tail spin. The loony mongs would be frothing at the mouth, and the other loony mongs on the opposite benches wouldn't know what to do (not that they ever do).

    I reckon it would get through Parliament and then she challenges the electorate to face reality and that she is willing to revoke A50 if they don't want her deal. The electorate then chooses, and everyone's a winner - except Labour and the fruitcakes.

    I've always been a soft leaver. Lewis is the hardcore leaver. I'm associated with his brand though as we've formed the Conservative wing of TTH for a decade.

    Both, probably. Lewis sticks to his guns, I sway a bit in the wind. My main political belief is I think the left are in practice almost always guilty of pernicious social engineering that ends up being destructive, so I'd rather keep them out. My ideal government would be full of dry administrators with no driving ideology, and a couple of people at the top with charisma to lead the others, and good judgement.

    I've sat here trying to explain where I see myself and I just come to Powellism. It could arguably do with a re-brand to 'national libertarianism' or something, lest Doreen Lawrence kick my front door in, but it's got everything you need.

    GS is a no deal leaver, primarily because he hates the backstop.

    Old Cumbers has got the voice chillingly spot on. If it's well made and not a Remainer whinefest, it could be brilliant - the true story of how Cummins single handedly won the referendum, by mashing all the ERG cunts and Farage/Banks to the sidelines and imposing his own genius upon it, is pretty amazing.

    He was completely sidelined by the official campaign (as were many other useless bores) and so had to resort to doing his own shite 'Leave.EU' thing to get himself on telly, which, lacking any sort of intellect or substance, is the only way in which he exists.

    Farage/Banks were a major drag on the leave vote, they would have won by more without them.

    On the other hand, Nigel Farage is almost wholly responsible for getting us the referendum, so what you gonna do.

    A British Prime Minister seeking assurances from Europe, and getting nothing, with the spectre of a referendum on the horizon?

    Never seen that before, I thought a deleted post would wipe out the page too. Tough presumably it'll go on once we hit post 5051 anyway.
