I'd be very surprised.

I'd be outraged, not that it would do me any good to be.

They reckon before he entered political life, he was a dodgy used car salesaman.  True or no?

No wasn't that his brother Richard Hammond?

As a very young man he bought cars from Fords, when he lived near Dagenham, & sold them on.

He was also a medical equipment salesman so he probably knew all the NHS scams.

His constituency voted 54% leave, so guess he has the full support of his local party to rely upon in the future? At 64, he can hopefully see the writing on the wall. I think he's stated he wouldn't serve in a Boris administration anyway, which would be a cleaner way to mop the floor.

Who do you think Boris would choose if he wins?

I don't think she has the right skill set, perhaps the Arts for her?

He could try Kit Malthouse maybe, the right background? I can't see him wanting Gove with a connecting door, sleepless nights awaiting the neighbourly assassin's blade?

Unfortunately John Redwoods too old these days. Personally I'd have Jacob Rees Mogg. Mind like a slide rule and very shrewd.

Yes I agree, & JRM knows the City inside out so the bankers would never get one past him.

I've never seen him beaten in a debate.

I've also always held John Redwood in high regard.

Did anyone see The Last Leg yesterday evening?  They asked viewers to vote on a Twitter poll for who they would like to see as PM.  Stewart was said to be first choice with Johnson well down.

Never heard of the programme so what does a Twitter poll prove as I doubt it was confined to Tory Party members who are the only members of the public who matter.
