Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Bye Bye Boris

So who is going to pick up the poisoned chalice* now?

Boris Johnson rules himself out of Tory leadership race

I don't feel qualified to comment on this but I would be interested to hear what other people think.

Basically - Michael Gove is a real Sh1t and deserves to be voted out at the first hurdle -- not that I like Boris either!!!!!

Boris is no fool.
Who would want to be PM for the next 4 years ?
He will set himself for 2020 next election

Theresa May (RHD top) is the front runner at the moment she would appear to have the necessary competencies, she was a remain campaigner to her credit too.

Given the rapidly unfolding events of last week it's anyone's guess who gets it.

Boris has displayed his political naivety over the whole Gove issue and I personally hope that's the last we see of him.

I see Boris as highly intelligent but no common sense.

It's all a bit unfathomable. Is Boris really stupid enough not to see Gove coming at him from behind with a knife?

I agree with Brownbaker. Boris is shrewd enough to want to avoid all the real work in the next four years and inherit the lead in 2020 or thereafter.

So my theory is that he let Gove effectively hang himself over this. Unless of course there was a pact.

The mess/fallout continues ! Goodness knows what the other side of the channel thinks of us now !

I care not who, but I care that they care about US and not themselves. We are in need of strong and decisive leadership, the alternative being anarchy brought on by the treacherous and devious anarchists of the Labour side.

I don't have to like a new PM but I do need to respect them, and they will earn respect through decisiveness and leadership.

Just hurry up..

Boo! I was looking forward to Boris entering the G8 on his zip wire. Now we will have to hope Mrs May keeps her G2's under control.
