I'd like to thank BoJo and his bozos for greatly improving the exchange rate for non-Brits such as myself. There is no greater act of hospitality than the gift of cold, hard cash.

so who goes today? Harper? McVey? maybe Hancock?
― Oy McVey (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 13 June 2019 10:39 (four years ago) link
Stewart clearly vulnerable too but hoping that rich seam of lulz isn't quite tapped out yet
― Oy McVey (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 13 June 2019 10:40 (four years ago) link
Hope it's lying cretin McVey how did she even get enough names o wait
― nashwan, Thursday, 13 June 2019 10:57 (four years ago) link
Hancock should be fine - the four vulnerable are Harper / McVey / Stewart / Leadsom.
Of some interest is whether Boris can get to 105, which would guarantee him a place on the last two.

"of some interest" is a bit MLC there -- you mean "of some ugly horror"

Can’t wait for Rory Stewart and his backers to fall in line and “regretfully” back Boris.

xxp which part of her hanging out with her Tory m8s, their fash friends and tee-hee-hewing about politics that cast people into misery and sometimes death draws such devotion from you?

xxp I know literally nothing about Marie Le Conte aside from what's been on this thread today and from this evidence she is indeed terrible.
It seems to me it's entirely possible to telegraph terribleness by the way you (I) dress but dressing as if you had "raided the sale rail of a Surrey village hospice charity shop" wouldn't be one of them IMO.

but just *imagine* the calamitous faux pas of waltzing up to a bloomsbury soiree garbed in assorted rural-rich hand-me-downs
― imago, Thursday, 13 June 2019 11:35 (four years ago) link
No, I’m talking about the type of schmutter Andrea Leadsom would have brought there in bin bags.
― suzy, Thursday, 13 June 2019 11:50 (four years ago) link
Leadsom also terrible but I don't think her terribleness is signalled by her dress sense either.
― Tim, Thursday, 13 June 2019 11:55 (four years ago) link
Also rural-rich hand me downs eg. tattersall shirts, utilitywear and grandad’s tweed jackets are fairly de trop amongst the Lamb’s Conduit massive (I’m scared to ask a few of the non-Labour ones what they think of Rory Stewart, but I know they all fucking hate Boris Johnson).
― suzy, Thursday, 13 June 2019 11:57 (four years ago) link
Leadsom dresses just like the c.1998 shit Tory landlady I had, who was v. good at telling you what a Christian she was while withholding part of a deposit, after being presented with a flat left much cleaner and better decorated than when we had found it.

boris has broken 110 :(
― calzino, Thursday, 13 June 2019 12:06 (four years ago) link
She dresses like many, many lower middle-class women of her age dress, particularly outside London I think. If your point is that people who dress like that are all "telegraphing their terribleness" then I'll understand but I wouldn't agree with you.
xp this seems like... terrible news.

it's 105 he needed to be be on the final ballot.. god help us.

But she isn’t LMC! She’s from a family of offshoring gazillionaires! That dress style is also very Christine Hamilton so it’s handy for identifying female golf Nazis.
― suzy, Thursday, 13 June 2019 12:11 (four years ago) link
So he's now automatically on the final ballot no matter what? Or he could lose if people switch away from him?
xp Suzy, your question was about dressing a certain way telegraphing terribleness. I don't think it does, though I'm sure many terrible people dress that way.
― Tim, Thursday, 13 June 2019 12:13 (four years ago) link
Be that as it may, at least Boris Johnson isn't about to be PM.

Was going to spectlulate about who might pick up votes now, but cannot even attempt to venture into the diseased mind of someone who would choose Andrea Leadsome to be the prime minister.

I don't think BJ is *guaranteed* to be in the postal ballot by virtue of 33%+ of the votes (i.e. guaranteed top-two if this was the penultimate ballot), but it's clearly over as a contest. I guess they'll go through the motions and he'll end up beating Hunt 220-93 or something by the end of next week and then on July 22 arrrrrrrgh

NEW: Ballot closed and I’m told by sources on ‘22 that it was decided to disallowed phones in room because of an aggressive whipping operation from Team Johnson. Told had been instructed to take photo of their ballot paper to prove they’d backed Johnson.— Beth Rigby (@BethRigby) June 13, 2019

after being so secretive for years they have disclosed they have 160000 ish members left now - because it will come out in the wash anyway, and every dead vote for boris will count as well.
