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 ?

Probably absolutely nothing, the guy is deemed a clown by too many at home and on the international stage.

No matter which head it will be trying to break through it, the wall said head is up against is still the same.

What I wonder is how easily politicians can get away even with saying two totally contradictory things on one and the very same day, just hours apart,with running cameras and open mikes around.

Rory Stewart seems to be the only one that can see the EU is finished on the Brexit issue no more talks or deals. Clearly on the make but its not his time yet.

Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson has described another Brexit referendum as "the least worst option" and urged his party to throw its weight behind one.

Speaking to the BBC, he said Labour should then fight for Remain, even though "we might lose some votes".

Good article from the NewStatesman:

The Tories would now rather face Scottish Independence than lose Brexit

Reddit discussion: LINK.

Pretty much sums up the situation from a Scottish perspective. Take a massive economic hit from the UK leaving the EU with no deal, or take a massive economic hit by voting for independence from the UK (but only if Westminster agrees to a vote).

Conservative and Unionist Party my rear end....:down:

Looks like 'damned if you do' and 'damned if you don't' either way not a positive outcome :hmmm:

The Tory leadership contest will enter the next stage later when a second round of voting is held in Parliament.

Conservative MPs will vote by secret ballot in the Commons, with a result expected some time after 18:00 BST.

Any of the six remaining candidates will be eliminated from the contest if they come last or fail to secure at least 33 votes.
