I think anyone who wants the job right now must be an idiot - probably why bojo keeps popping his head up.
.....

I think Bojo has been forced into starting his leadership campaign the other day by Reese Mogg who started his bid for the job some time ago.

god help us if Mogg got to be PM - the unemployed would be set to work digging roads for a pittance, the homeless excluded from towns or city centres forced to live under fly overs out of town etc

Or maybe we should put the children in Westminster, and put the MPs to work sweeping something :wink:

There's a row going on, down near Slough :?

Hasan Patel, a supporter of Corbyn and a critic of elite education, won a place at Eton
Some people criticised him, I think he is right to take up his place to learn about what he criticses

Patel for PM in 20 years?

Half the 16 year olds at Eton will be socialists. They just won't act much like it by the time they're 25. Let's hope he's a match for their untamed wit.
