@MajorRage I quite like what I've seen of Raab, really good back story too.
Buzzfeed journalist proudly posted on twitter on what they thought was a hitpiece on him..responses are gold.
Yes, my biggest concern of Raab is how somebody could be part of a negotiating team, get to the end of it then walk away as the result is shit.
Um .. weren't you part of it? It may just be that May over ruled him (as is her right) on too many thing, but then he could have managed the PR better by strolling earlier.
Outside that though, I do like him.

Seems like the very definition of a false equivalence.

So the BBC after defending Jo Brand and championing free speech now edits the "offending" article out.
Weak.

I’m sort of with MR in that I think it was good that they came to Jo Brand’s defence but I also see the hypocrisy in that position. But to now cave in like that is weaker than a can of piss.

Raab's out.
Right, whose next to back ... I mean it's a waste of time if it's not Johnson, but ...
Rory Stewart getting all the press at the moment.
The trouble is they are all looking like sleazy chancers and in normal times would not get my vote, but when the alternative is Corbyn, then fuck me I'd take any of them.
What a fucking shambles.

Boris the best in my eyes but that's not saying much.. I guess it all hangs on whether the Brexit Party will run in the general. If they do then that'd be comrade Corbyn.The only way they won't run is if Boris pushes through a no-deal Brexit and gets the Brexit Party's sole policy right off the table.

That will certainly be a concern for the Tories, much in the same way that the shadow of UKIP convinced Cameron to promise a referendum. It's being mooted that a Boris led Government will prorogue Parliament and a no deal will become a fait accompli. I think that would be extremely divisive and certainly not solve many of the problems that are causing delay. NI being the primary one.

BBC questions for next PM last night.
None of them covered themselves in glory. I think Stewart and Johnson both tried to have a go at grabbing the bull by the horns, but failed miserably. Johnson due to his inability to actually answer a question (and then getting cut off the presenter), and Stewart by essentially outing himself as Theresa part 2.
I thought Hunt & Gove came cross best in what they said, but neither of them showed any sort of presence to "own a room" as such.
I suspect publicly Johnson probably came out best, as it did seem bit that he wasn't given the same treatment as others.
You'll notice I've not mentioned Javid ... thats cos he was a was nothing.
