In the news

Stephen Crabb makes a bid for Tory leader.

Maybe he's banking on all the referendum and labour leadership malarkey distracting people from what an malodorous flapping dickhole he is.

Most people will have only known his name for a few months. And the only reason they know his name is because he's a homophobic asshole.

Entirely electable.

The Tories have been courting the church vote indirectly by letting faith schools uncontrolled and then trying to force the humanist not to take cases up on parent's behalf (which failed)

I hope that vote is tiny over at your guys end of the Irish Sea...

Things are moving a bit too quickly methinks:

...The neo-Nazis who organized the pro-Donald Trump rally in Sacramento, California, that turned bloody over the weekend have a new destination: The Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
“We’re essentially just going to show up and make sure that the Donald Trump supporters are defended from the leftist thugs,” Matt Parrott

Linky

Boris withdraws/doesn't enter - make your own jokes.

Why though? Why not now? Does he realise the mess he'll have to clear up is far too big?

because according to mrs gove, rupert murdoch and paul dacre think he's a cunt.

what a time to be alive.

Should I be scared that I agree with them?

ah Mudshute farm -

oh and he doesn't want to be the one to be seen pulling the pin on the article 50 handgrenade.

"Hey, you've left a turd in the fridge."
"Reluctantly I have concluded I am not the man to remove the turd from the fridge."

He loaded the guns and then ran off home for his tea.

So, who do we have lined up for our delectation and delight?

1. Theresa May - wants to read all your emails and remove the Human Rights Act
   
2. Stephen Crabb - strongly linked to Christian Action Research and Education
   
3. Liam Fox - caught in expenses scandal, has breeched parliamentary rules and has been forced to resign from the front bench
   
4. Michael Gove - Pob. demoted as an "Electoral liability".
   
5. Andrea Leadsom - um, yeah.
   

Anyone still interested in that £25 Tory membership for a vote? What's the fucking point.

You have to be a member before the contest starts to be elligible to vote, so don't waste your money.

I never was going to, but nice pro tip re: Conservative party workings.

A little too pro...

Considered in order of their chances of winning a leadership race.

Crabb - Dead Horse
Fox - Floggable Dead Horse
Gove - Lame Donkey
Leadsom - Donkey that think's its a horse
May - Horse

To be fair, despite her snoopy shitehawkedness, May is the one that makes me want to vomit the least when it comes to potential leader of the country.

I've killed men for less.

Even at my most pessimistic I didn't expect THIS clusterfuck. Perhaps it will lead to a hung cabinet.

My last pessimism was a Tory cabinet 60% odds over Labour 40%...

By cutting their disability allowance?

Zing!

Would rate 10 again 10/10 :)

Remember when Gove was Education Sec?
How he made friends and influenced people and wasn't at all a reactionary lightweight?

Gove's mantra of the last few years: "Blame the Germans"
