Getting reports on Twitter that the EDL have turned up at the town hall, imagine it's only a matter of time till that oval office Tommy Robinson starts sticking his beak in too.

Hope that oval office gets his head kicked in. They've been showing up to Sunderland every other Saturday to take advantage of a rape case and deserve to be bashed back into the gutters.

Yeah i'd be more afraid of focusing on May if there was a reasonable successor. Best they've got is maybe David Davis and Amber Rudd, who are the least-bad but still seem like they'd struggle to inspire any confidence

They obviously would eventually because you can't cut every vital service without damaging millions of lives, but also the Tory ability to sweep things under the rug and control the narrative is now actually making things worse for them because it means they've spent nearly a decade dodging responsibility and never actually fixing anything.

I was thinking today that Philip Hammond was the obvious successor; he's very boring, which is probably the sort of thing the Tories need. You can sell boring as competence, perhaps.

I'm not sure you can now, they need someone new with integrity and with some relatable offers to the public. They don't have anyone remotely like that to my knowledge though.

The smart thing to do IMO is to ditch May, call an election, lose to Corbyn and let him do Brexit etc. From the Tory perspective 5 years of Corbyn will be a disaster the electorate will be screaming for rescue from by 2022.

The problem is they seem to think Corbyn is a genuine communist who will put them all in gulags and confiscate their second (third, fourth) homes.

Rudd's probably more likely than not to lose her seat at the next election, she won't be leader while she's still in Hastings and Rye.

I actually think it is hilarious. The alt-right got so mad when people on the Twitter left started "stealing" their terms like incel & volcel. I am totally down with appropriating red pill for describing people having their come-to-Jesus moment about the failure of capital & the inadequacy of the profit motive as the primary motivating factor in an economy, both because it works as a metaphor & it will make the alt-right fannies absolutely rage.

Ruth would be the one person I'd be afraid of but it'd take some real political gymnastics to put her in a place to lead.

Not that I'd put the Tories past it but it'd be so blindingly political to parachute the Scottish Tory leader into, say, a by-election in a safe southern England seat so she could be PM that it would risk looking really bad.

Pretty sure the alt-right trajectory goes

2. Decides that, actually, the reason nobody will ever love them is
3. Women are evil
4. Also, come to think of it, the Jews
