(% is my predictions so far)

Choosing one of these six is like having 6 choices of how to be executed, all bad choices indeed... And in the end it will be down to just 2 and then about 160,000 idiots will more than likely choose Donald Trumps love child Boris

Give it a week or two and Chuka will be off to the Greens next.

There should be a by-election after all the people of Streatham voted for a Labour MP

The government is in "pretty good shape" to cope with a no-deal Brexit, the head of civil service has said.

Speaking at an event organised by the Institute for Government, Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill said there had been "a lot of preparation".

He said: "We have got the government in pretty good shape and public services in pretty good shape for it".

I'm not so sure

[Jimbuna]

Jeremy Corbyn has questioned whether the government has "credible evidence" to show Iran is behind the attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said responsibility for Thursday's attacks "almost certainly" lies with the Iranian regime.

But the Labour leader tweeted that there was no evidence for this.

Mr Hunt responded that Mr Corbyn's comments were "pathetic" and said he should back British intelligence.

Good old Steptoe can always be relied on to back the terrorist side

Every so often his true colours come through. Unfit for the Labour Party, come on sensible Labour get rid of him and his gang.

[Jimbuna]

That isn't going to happen whilst Momentum are around.

The second televised debate, the one Johnson has agreed to attend could get interesting if Rory Stewart survives the next round of voting (unlikely).

This article explains well the act of proroguing Parliament and the potential consequences.

Because asking for hard evidence? The UK has always been quick in being on the US side recently. I also remember some of it has been a scam.
Whatever you think of Corbyn, is it too much to request real evidence from (y)our allies before starting another war in the Middle East?
Does the UK have real hard evidence as you mentioned?

'We have no reason not to believe the American assessment and our instinct is to believe it because they are our closest ally'
- Jeremy Hunt, UK foreign secretary
Being an ally is obviously enough. Good they never played you before.
But maybe it helps you with the US post brexit negotiations

So Boris Johnson is the favorite to take over.

What I wonder is:

What does or what can he do what May couldn't do about this Brexit ?

And can he do better than the other candidate ?
