I would dearly like to see that and hereby volunteer for the job. 100% free - I'll even pay my own expenses including the rope.

Yes, good point.  Why ally himself with a party of which, I'm sure, he has no real interest.

Interesting.  There is talk in the news about the probability of there being a hung Parliament this year.
I dearly hope that there will be at least some Reform MPs present anyway.

I don't see why he stood on a Green ticket. He'd have done just as well as an independent imo.

As for Boris, I can't imagine that he'll manage to come back as a future PM.
As has been said, he has lied and it has recently been discussed on the telly how he held not one, but several parties at No.10 during the 'Covid years'.

It's a shame, because when he first stood for PM I thought he would make a good leader, and entertaining in a way.
Unfortunately, the Conservatives have failed to be Conservative ever since Cameron, and probably since they stabbed Maggie (my heroine) in the back.

I always thought he would be but I'm not sure how the rules stand now. He always looks like he's about to burst into tears to me. Probably that will be us though when he's PM.

I bought a drill sharpener from Lidl. It's useless and will be going back. 

Quote from: klondike on Today at 04:37:53 PMI wonder how many actual Greens voted for him. I suspect it was mostly browns.

I wonder?
There can't be that many Greenies in Leeds, just as there aren't that many Greenies in the country as a whole.

I can only assume that one of two things has happened.
Either most people have just given up hoping to elect a useful and competent person to represent them,
or, as I suggested elsewhere, he has taken advantage of the many muslim votes controlled and dictated by heads of certain families, whose word is law.

Quote from: Alex on Today at 05:46:41 PMDoes anyone else think Starmer will  be removed once he's PM ?

I hope not, I don't want to be robbed of watching all the ridiculous hopes of the 'new better UK' Labour supporters crumble as his sheer incompetence surfaces into the spotlight if he becomes PM.
