Yes Gove has been accused of hypocrisy.Fancy that a hypocritical MP  Who'd have thunked it?

[Lizzie Zoom]

I say he who is without sin cast the first stone.........

How many politicians could ever say they are without sin??!! 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Cant imagine Maggie ever having smoked a spliff or a snort of Charlie. 
Istr she nicked another womans husband though. 

[Rods2]

Gove will be along shortly to take part in Sir Tigs poll, where there are 12 lines to score on.

I think he'll leave us with 4 or five left by this time tomorrow!

He'd been divorced for 3 years when they met, but who uses actual facts in a Brexit post?


She did make her money the old fashioned way though; she married it.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I have read that the "hadn't met until he had been divorced three years", wasn't actually true but was party spin.
I neither know nor care. She was the best PM of my lifetime, regardless of when she started getting her knicks off for dirty Den. 
If she were still around I would be voting for her in a few weeks time.

Surprisingly one one candidate dropped out today, Sam Gyimah.

So 10 candidates go forward to the first ballot for MP's on Thursday. 

Boris Johnson
Micheal Gove
Sajid Javid
Jeremy Hunt
Esther McVey
Dominic Raab
Matt Hancock
Rory Stewart
Andrea Leadsom
Mark Harper

I understand that next week there will be a series of ballots until there are two candidates left for Albs to choose from.  I'll update the poll as we go.

And each of those candidates has at least eight backers, a prerequisite for going forward from here. Just how split is the Tory party?

[Sir Tigger KC]

Well it all kicked off at Esther McVey's campaign launch today at the Bruges Group!   

Angry Man Linky!

Tell you what though, Alb's has really lost his accent! 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

 

From the final list I can rule out -
Gove
Javid
Hunt
Hancock
Stewart
Harper
and probably McVey.   

[Sir Tigger KC]

I don't think that Leadsom will make the cut.    But McVey is growing on me.   

I reckon she's the one to get a good deal with Trump and I can just imagine her saying to him in that sultry scouse accent "C'mon Donald, you know you want to"     He'd be putty...

And what has bungling, almost silent bafoon Boris announced to promote his aims to become our PM, he will cut taxes, not for the lowest paid workers, but for those of the 3 million who are the highest paid, raising the 40% threshold from £50,000 to £80,000 per year.

Yep, that really will win votes from the general public when the next General Election takes place!!

Actually I think it's quite astute. 

There are a lot of ordinary people who have been dragged into the higher rate tax band due to the stagnation of the threshold.  Public sector workers like senior nurses, teachers etc are affected. 

I have a friend who is a proper lefty guardianista and he works for a quango.  He's a classic middle class, metropolitan, university educated labour voter and I'm not sure what his salary is, but I know it's between £40-50k and I know it sticks in his craw that it is the Tories that save him money in tax! 

Of course I feel duty bound to remind him of this from time to time. 

[STEMO]

The 40% threshold has been raised for the past two years and, I think, is going to be at £50,000 next year. Slim Phil managed to almost negate any savings by raising the NI limit.
