Lets hope so. Even if it doesn't get to a vote the infighting will damage them. It was the second story on the bbc news

Dunno about him but Tory party is as unstable as it was with major/Howard/Hauge. Same as back then there's no one left who could be a credible leader.

 

different to back then labour has a charisma-free leader.

Not a lot... unless someone says something f**king stupid in which case it becomes a story all by itself.

I'm heartened by the mass questioning of this madness as it doesn't seem to make all that much sense at this point. Guarantee if it came to it those refusing would be in the minority and calling the rest traitors and putin lovers though, such is the power of propaganda...
