Where are the Tory boys hiding?

Jeremy has predicted he'll be PM by the end of the year; so you're predicting the same?

Well I'm surprised at the Labour result as much as anyone - I thought the
Election would be "business as usual" with not much movement for anyone.
(Who saw the SNP demise coming?) So I'm NOT making predictions.

BUT 😉

If this disgraceful DUP Alliance fails and/or Tory backbenchers want May out, we
will likely see an election within a year - and the winter is always favourable to the
Conservatives. So .. Nov/Jan/Feb ???

And Corbyn is on a roll so everything being equal - and if I had to bet - I'd say a
Labour minority government is on the cards.

Two chaps who will never be Prime Minster, Borris and Corbyn.

There's a fair bit of hedging in there...

Jeremy says by year end...is he right yes or no?

At the time I posted that is exactly how May's leadership was progressing; I notice you didn't have the courage or foresight to challenge me on it at the time I posted it.

May has made a mess of her election campaign and disaffected large portions of the electorate with her apparent inability to connect to people in a crisis. She will probably lose t ...[text shortened]... centrist leader with a realistic economic manifesto I would certainly consider voting for them.

'Courage' to challenge you? Surely you jest?

As for my political persuasion, I'm a man of principles. I follow a simple mantra which can be summed up by three letters - ABC. Anyone But Conservative's.

Boris has as much chance of becoming PM as Trump has of ... oh .... wait a minute ...

Hedging? Of course - I've no crystal ball.
What are your predictions?
1. When will next election be?
2. What will be result?
3. Who will lead Cons into next election?
4. Who will lead Cons after next election?

(Just for fun ... I wont take any money off you! )

How am I wrong?

No chap called Borris will become Prime Minister.

Just accept that on this occasion you are wrong and move on. It really does not merit debate. You limp sense of humour says much.

Both - if by Borris you mean Bonkers Boris - are 2/1 at the bookmakers.

I made an error in my spelling of Boris? Sure, I'll give you that. How does that make me wrong in my statement about Boris not becoming Prime Minister?

Your limp reliance on a spelling faus pas to gain debating points duly noted.

(P.S And as we are discussing rogue letter r's, I believe you are missing one yourself. Shouldn't that have been 'your limp' not 'you limp?' )

Yes I made a mistake.

So we both did.

I admit it. Not start a debate about it.
