Can only assume it was a slip of the tongue or a mistake. Surely he wouldn’t intentionally say that?
He’s reached the stage that Cartman did in the South Park Tourette’s episode

Ooooo.
Yes you are probably right - he will go when it suits the Conservative Party as a whole.History does suggest he won’t survive until the next election

It'd obviously be Jeremy Hunt as the frontrunner. Long spells in government, vaguely statesmanlike and competent, true Tory ideology, runner up in last leadership election... and in a clash of men in grey suits, chances are the Conservative version would look more authentic than the Labour one.There is the question of who should succeed him whether now or later. His stooges have stood by and defended the criminal PM and the backbenches are unknowns.

How do you know it's false?
How do you know others don't find it offensive?
I just think bandying that word out like confetti is pretty awful behaviour and I don't know what you're trying to achieve but it's not a good look.
A bit too quirky and leftfield after Johnson. A bit like football managers, Tory party leaders tend to be quite different in how they present themselves to their predecessors!I have this sneaky feeling Gove would win
Now this is a shocker
He’s done nothing but support Boris all along, has even been gifted 2 questions at PMQ’s of the would the PM agree with me that the PM is great type since the partygate story broke.

But after Johnson (and, for that matter, while Starmer is leader of the Labour Party) any kind of leftfield character candidate probably won't play well overall.And yet surprisingly well liked by the public as Tory stooges go. Certainly the preferred option among the Tory voters I know
Didn’t you once remark Tony Blair was a criminal and should be dragged to The Hague for war crimes?
Yes and I stand by that. His buddy George who admitted the invasion was bogus can join him.

The contest isn't for constant Tory voters after all.
Yet his labour buddies stood by him
Have you recovered from that?
Well selective outrage never is
But that's the selling point after Johnson - a safe pair of hands who treats government seriously.Well it's Tory members and MPs who choose the leader. Hunt would appear too similar to his wet lettuce opponent

Got a few skeletons in his closet by all accounts
The present incumbent has a graveyard in there-like some morbid Narnia
Recently though, bar the replacement of one balding reactionary with another (and at least Hague was vaguely competent and dynamic!) they've swapped character really.I guess we shall see. They did after all choose a birthday clown to replace dear Theresa
Haha, different though
No doubt Goves got a bit about him, intelligent, interesting background etc but as I say, can’t see it happening

Thatcher to Major was going for dour after charisma, Major to Duncan-Smith was moderate to righty mental, Cameron was young and pseudo moderate in comparison to having something of the night about him, May was the dour, safe option.
What Hunt can do is present himself quite well, and think on his feet. If I was Labour and Starmer I'd be a lot more worried about him than the mentals who are out there. Chances are after a pretty terrible and chaotic last few years, boring can be a selling point, too!
And what the Tories can do is sell boring better than Labour...
Not sure Rayner, Starmer et al would serve under a Tory leader.Agree with this
I’m still hoping someone credible comes out of leftfield
All I’d ask though is whoever’s in charge gets the best people around them in cabinet
Has hung around the scene since the start and is pretty intelligent compared to most of the Cabinet. His dismantling of Piers Morgan was a rare lockdown highlight
He's got an ego, hasn't stopped him trying before (and elbowing Johnson out of one contest, too).He’s probably the best talker/debater they’ve got. I might be wrong but I’m just not convinced he’ll put himself forward for reasons suggested
It’s interesting how you actually don’t give a fuck about Ukraine and their opinions
I couldn’t care about Johnson - im sure he will survive i just laugh at a retard like you. I think retard is actually a very suitable word Mr Retard
