    It's Sunak as it won't be anyone else - Gove knows that he won't get it and Patel and co will avoid the hassle.

        Avoid the hassle? You fundamentally understand the politician's mindset. There isnit a single MP who wouldn't give both arms to be PM for one hour as the EUSSR army tanks rolled down Whitehall.

          Everyone has been saying that since March due to the number of feck ups he keeps making.
          Everyone's being saying it for years. It didn't stop him becoming foreign secretary (!) and then PM. His behaviour as Brexit PM didn't stop him winning an somewhat historical landslide.

          Should he choose to resign, I think it will be because he's knackered. What a time to realise your dream of power!

            He was sacked as shadow Arts Minister, from the Times (both those times for lying) and resigned as Foreign Secretary although 'I believe that was more of a better get going before being sacked again
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Certain he'll do a Cameron. When the vote doesn't go his way, he'll be for the off. Clearly he's unpopular, at home & abroad.

              Speaking to various folks in the biergarten the other night, talking about the UK. We all love it the UK, what the British bring to the world, the cites and history. Had a good chinwag. It is clear a lot of affection exists for the UK, there's no ill will toward the country from afar despite what the Murdoch rags tell you. To most of us outsiders the UK is tearing itself apart from within, and it all began with David, BoJo, & Gove waving populists drivel. Just sad.

                I sincerely hope not, he was the man who pressured the PM and every anti-IR35 MP into supporting its introduction for next spring. He's had his arms twisted on every policy to cope with the COVID shutdown and seems mired in nepotism. All he seems to talk about is raising taxes when such a move would cripple next year's feeble economy.

                Looks overpromoted and wooden to me.

                  Sounds like progress. Time to put a stop to tax dodging

                    It’s like reddit in here. Echo chamber of similar views and constant moaning.
