Re: The OFFICIAL Conservative leader race thread

There needs to be an anyone but Leadsom campaign. I imagine this means splitting May's MPs with Crabb. None of them have any credentials to lead the Country it would be a disaster tbh, they should stand down if they care at all for the UK. They are deluded if they think the country voted for them a...

I think that, whilst it is not in the EU's interest either to lose the UK, or to see it fail, if, as seems more than likely, the former ship has sailed, then it will act for its own benefit above all. As noted, that doesn't necessarily mean that they will ensure the UK fails, but I can't see the re...
