I think you may well be right Mags… I suppose anything is possible when you have a billionaire father in law 
Makes you wonder who’s in charge of PR for these parties, surely they’d see none of them are very electable!

Owen Jones on making that choice 
Being asked to choose the least worst Tory to run the country is like being confronted with a smorgasbord of bacterial infections and weighing up the different symptoms and – frankly – risk of fatality. Am I seeking a candidate whose policies are less harmful, or one who repels voters most and thus secures Tory defeat?

Does it not seem that this dismal group of opportunists are living in fake post-Boris world of their own? They are all promising tax cuts when the state of the nations says that is the last thing they should be doing. They are all aiming to maximise the benefits of Brexit when finding ways to limit the damage from Brexit seems much more pressing. It is worrying that they see these non-policies as things that the other tory MPs and the voting tory party membership will find attractive. That implies there are many in these two groups who care nothing about the future of the UK.
Although these candidates might have learnt well at the elbow of their old leader - make any old promise, do it glibly and brazenly and don’t worry about keeping to it. Just get votes.

Why does it take so long? Our PM can resign in the morning, be replaced by the afternoon and visit the GG to be sworn in the next morning.
