We wunt be druv
Dominic Raab got mentioned on here yesterday as a contender for that and there's a good summary of him in Phillip Collins piece in today's Times:
The candidate for the determinedly drunk is Dominic Raab who, incredibly, declared that the best plan for the government was to demand legally binding changes to the withdrawal agreement and, if they are not forthcoming, leave the EU without a deal. He must have been asleep for the fortnight in which it became obvious that neither of these two options was feasible. Mr Raab is the last-ditch candidate who loves Britain so much he thinks we could be Singapore.
Though Mr Raab does an impeccable job of diminishing himself I am loath to join in because he is my preferred candidate to win the leadership. Speaking as someone keen to see a new party emerge in British politics, Mr Raab is, without question, my candidate. He is exactly the sort of cat-that-got-the-cream character who would repel floating voters. Non-Tories will really dislike Mr Raab who will rapidly restore the Tories to the status of the nasty party.
He is the kind of Tory who thinks people eat at food banks because they like the menu. There is a set of Tory MPs ready to walk if his unforgiving politics were allowed to take over.

I'll look after the skirt
UKIP under Batten, have gone from a party of little Englanders, racists & oddballs, lurching to the extreme right & morphing into the BNP, attracting various right wing splinter group knuckledraggers. Batten is so extreme, Farage left the party. Aside from being batshit barking, Batten isn't too bright and often gets called out and ends up looking rather stupid when grilled about his statements on TV. This is the guy who claimed his horse was sexually assaulted by a donkey with homosexual tendencies. Claiming his supporters will get hosed down by water canons that don't exist is quite mild by his standards.

It is, however, as open to (and very possibly MORE open to) lobbying from big evil corporations compared to UK institutions of government. https://corporateeurope.org/
We do ourselves no favours on the left when we try and present the EU simply as a purely progressive force. It can be. But without significant reform, I find the EU instiutions as a whole quite hard to love. If we end up staying in the EU, I only hope we do so with a progressive government, and the blinkers off.
I bet it would be pi$$ing down today if 'they' had got their way. 
I bet you’re ******* yourself (@simster I used the word yourself) sore [emoji23][emoji108]
As it will decend into the usual nonsense, yes

Backstabbing ***** like BJ and MG at the helm. Please, please exile these ****wits into a political wilderness so dense that they never re-emerge. If we have to have a Tory Government (because many say JC is un-electable) then please let a Ruth Davidson or Rory Stewart be at the forefront.

I see him as a right wing version of Ed Milliband.
Decent, thoughtful, much respected by people who have met/know him.
But 'looks funny' and not very good at simplifying everything into soundbites so...
As a country, we get the politicians we deserve.

Said it over and over again, the biggest threat to Brexit is the Brexiteers themselves. If the vote doesn't go through, don't blame remainers, Labour or the EU...

I try and avoid that place. Has anyone won their argument yet?
I didn't say it was a purely progressive force. I don't think it's perfect at all and I don't know anyone who does. But the way the right wing press have painted it is utterly ridiculous.

This. However, Brexit will prove to be an expensive gamble that will lead to continuing austerity for many.
What particular brand of Brexit do you favour?

Well I see that you're back again for a third time.
Didn't even manage 2 weeks this time
Amyway, if these 'wankers' hadn't halted Brexit which did you want, Customs Union or NI/Ireland border ?
