Labour are as destructive a force as the Tories at the moment and any of you still lending your support to them are as dated and antiquated in your views as Tory voters.

Quite.
 
Anna Soubry makes a good point about Rory Stewart in that he says that No Deal would be catastrophic but yesterday he voted against Labour's amendment to allow Parliament to prevent No Deal. He's clearly the best of the options, but, ultimately, he is still a Tory.
 
Kate Hoey is MP for Vauxhall, no? I imagine she's quite loathed.

I don't get the logic of those Labour MPs voting against or abstaining on the attempt to block No Deal. Sure, you might represent Leave constituencies, but surely you don't want them to be fucked over the worst by us crashing out? The abrogation of any kind of leadership is infuriating.
 
Exactly! Fine, Caroline Flint can't bring herself to support a second referendum or a strong remain position. Frustrating, but I can sympathise with it as a valid position based on the views of her constituency. But No Deal is economic suicide and allowing it to fester as a possibility while actively empowering Boris Johnson is just fucking unforgivable for a Labour MP.

I truly don't understand how Kate Hoey is still a Labour MP. Is she still popular in her constituency?

The snap election meant the local party didn't have time to deselect her, and there's not really any point withdrawing the whip from her before the next election as it just means the party wouldn't have any influence over her for any non-Brexit votes. She's already been deselected in all but formality by her local party for the next general election.

That's Hancock shat it.

I wonder if he's been offered a decent Cabinet role by someone.
 
It comes to something when Jeremy Hunt is the best hope* but at least he's not peddling this no-deal on Oct 31 or general election ultimatum MADNESS

*obviously Rory Stewart would be better but I imagine he'll struggle to get the requisite 33 votes
 
So my father has said he will continue to stop voting Tory so long as Boris is PM. So that's something.
 
Rory was the best as the rest really were just talking UTTER BOLLOCKS. Gove was TRYING FAR TOO HARD, 'Saj' was UNDERWHELMING, on a lengthy exposure Jeremy Hunt is fucking frightening *smirks* and THE LESS SAID ABOUT 'DOM' THE BETTER.
 
Raab is out after that debate, he was shit and a lot of people are well pissed off at his plan to suspend/prorouge Parliament.
 
Despite the upsurge if Rory love I can't see it doing much to his numbers.
 
How come Javid hasn't bailed yet? He has no traction and just looks even more of a tit than he did before.

It's not the public he needs to convince. This is why Boris isn't bothered - he's already worked out the best way to bribe the party members into voting for him and he couldn't give two hoots what the public at large think.
 
After his performance the other night, I could see Rory Stewart being - in almost any other circumstance, a very appealing prospect for party leader. But his Brexit approach is probably going to be an issue this time around.

We'll see what the leadership debate is like tonight, but I think he's absolutely made himself a contender for future leader through this campaign.
 
WOO RORY.

I put a tenner on him last week at 18/1 and momma needs a new pair of shoes. :(
 
Rory Stewart is the WORST possible choice to be in the final 2 with Boris. He’s polling the lowest in any head to head against him witbier Tory members. It would hand the victory to Boris on a plate.

But then it’s a done deal anyway so I suppose it doesn’t matter.
 
I hardly think Carmella, who has three children: one working in the city, one training to be a vet and one going to University, is hugely at risk here.
 
Sajid seems quite pleased to be there, but ultimately useless.

He is very much the Lisa Scott-Lee in this line-up.
