why isn't Steve Barclay running for PM ?

Not sure that having a posh 'deputy head boy' type in charge would be any better than having a posh bad-boy like we have now.

Tend to agree , the bad boy is always going to be a better PM .  Barclay just isnt high profile enough , though it doesnt seem to have stopped at least half a dozen other nobodies  throwing their hats in . 

Maybe he is just confident the bigger job awaits at a better  time

I did see a headline somewhere suggesting Rees Mogg was wondering whether to be a sort of Boris Continuity Candidate.

I noted yesterday Boris declined to endorse any of the runners stating he did not wish to ruin their chances. I may have to review my opinion of him: he seems to have finally understood what a toxic T@@@ he had become.

What's up Borky?
Penny Mordaunt too ugly for you to face the prospect of seeing her on the news for the next 2 years?
Steve Barclay more your type, is he?

Damn it all, you have to admit that Steve has a certain rugged charm

Maybe saving the environment by eschewing plastic inflatables for the real thing is not thought to be an obvious vote winner...

He seems a decent enough bloke and even if he has an underage catamite in the background, that should not worry anyone these days.

And what has happened to Rees Mogg ?

To be honest, I am not impressed by the current field
