It seems there are rumblings Gove could become PM
WHAT are my options.
Emigrate?
Even though he’s a minister, I don’t think the penalty for murder is any more drastic than offing a pleb. So, out in 10 years with good behaviour?
Either that or sit him on a bike and run him over. That usually results in the driver getting off Scot free. Probably the easiest solution.
Gove is the type of person I might have felt sorry for at school because he was always the brunt of jokes, then he grew up to become a complete a**hat, and I wondered why I ever felt sorry for him.
I think he'll turn out to be the most pobular Prime Minister ever.
At the moment I think a lot of people would want to see him stay at environment, he is probably the most forward thinking minister of any colour in that department. Elsewhere he has the potential to be a liability again
It's a low bar though https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/earthnews/3325629/Hilary-Benn-in-new-row-over-flood-defences.html
Smart money is on Sajid Javid who is ticking lots of boxes https://order-order.com/2018/06/19/saj-time-review-scheduling-cannabis/
He has offended less people and gets the Conservatives another couple of firsts in their leadership
Plus it will be good for the backcatalogue of 2000ad as people go for the Mekon line
Could he possibly be any worse than any of the rest of 'em ??
They're all a bunch of useless t0ssers
It's an awesome choice, isn't it.
Johnson, Honourable Member for the 19th Century Rees-Mogg, or bloody Pob.

Quoting from order, order, well...
There is one pretty obvious problem with Javid becoming PM...as for Gove, I want one of the Chief Brexiters in charge when Brexit really goes wrong.
Problem is, the people who voted for Dave will vote for Pob.
It's not going to put anyone off.
They'd vote for a pig if it promised to punish 'scroungers' and lower taxes.
He's another lying Tory Brexiter..
Whats the point? Has he any credibility? Universally hated by the Education Sector, Health Sector and any other normal human being that has intelligence as part of their human make up.
I hope he gets in, the implode will be fantastic to watch.. and Brexit will fail massively and all the Morons that supported it will go back to moaning about Garden Pests and Immigrant Birds shitting on their patios.
We can then form a cohesive forward thinking Government without the constraints of politicians own ideals and retard frameworks.
Go for it Gove.

Its like picking your favourite STD
Should be Rees-Mogg. That'd unite the country (against him).
Any source for this story? The thought of Gove uniting us all around the Brexit juggernaut amuses me.
Has May resigned?
I know he's a cock but JR-M did ever so slghtly go up in my estimation after this :

i reckon he's covered in tats. ever seen him in short sleeves or an open neck shirt?

Depending on how low he started it's not much of a compliment, I assume it was where he took his staff to be branded.
I've seen more talk of Javid than just the order order stuff, mostly as he can form sentences, doesn't froth at the mouth frequently, basically May with the potential for personality.
Javid was a remainer, son of a Muslim bus driver, smart enough to get out of Rochdale, Gove is as toxic as Boris, Hunt or Grayling . JRM couldn't take the financial hit of being PM and likes being the backseat driver rather than the person who has to make the compromises
Any Gove rumours will be to promote the interests of others

You know that's incitement don't you? And "they" now have your IP address. Pack a suitcase comrade.
You’ll thank me when it’s done 😂
I'd stop short at actually having someone physically harmed, I'd far rather that they were incentivised to go and reflect upon their numerous moral weaknesses before actually doing some good for society. A good example of this is Jonathan Aitken, who went to prison for corruption and spent his time there on suicide watch, looking out for vulnerable fellow prisoners.
As for Gove, I wouldn't trust him to get a round of drinks in.

Proper LOL at that comment we’ll done! 😄

Very much this..
Also, that jrm pic... Look at that horrible little tory shite alongside him. I hope he gets bullied at school as punishment for the ills he will no doubt inflict on future society

TBH, I think he's suffered enough already.
Gove's a right weirdo tbh. At his best, he's probably the best person in this government- he was proposing changes in prisons that Labour wouldn't dare suggest, never mind the Tories, because he could see that Tough On Crime doesn't actually work- he just got on with it. And shaping up to be the same in environment. But in education he was poison.And it's 2 sides of the same coin, he does what he think's right without troubling himself too much with alternative opinions. If there was some way of bottling it and using it only when appropriate, it'd be awesome
Gove as PM?
Yet, strangely, a sight more likely than Corbyn getting the job 😄
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">But in education he was poison</span>
There hasn't been an education secretary in 30 years that the teachers didn't whinge about.
A good example of this is Jonathan Aitken, who went to prison for corruption and spent his time there on suicide watch, looking out for vulnerable fellow prisoners.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Aitken#Perjury_conviction_and_imprisonment
50% right... not for corruption but for Perjury, heard a couple of recent interviews and it's a very interesting story. Perhaps all tory ministers should do 6 months at her Maj's pleasure

That doesn't make him better though, if we want to know his plans we should probably ask his wife
scuttlebutt is that May has nominated Rudd as her successor
which is bonkers as she hardly has a majority & plenty of tax-dodging skeletons
but then we know that May is an aboslute fruit basket so yeah its not unlikely
Christ, I'd forgotten all about Rudd. She's a proper piece of work, I think on balance I'd rather have Pob.
I hope he gets in, the implode will be fantastic to watch.. and Brexit will fail massively and all the Morons that supported it will go back to moaning about Garden Pests and Immigrant Birds shitting on their patios.
The problem with that is that if Brexit does fail (and I still hope someone will come to their senses and have the balls to decide it will never go ahead) it will really screw up the country and the rest of us won't just be able to stand back and watch the show, we'll all be knee deep in it, trying to sort the sh!te out.
Apart from the 1% moneyed ranks who won't give a toss as they'll be alright whatever happens.
50% right… not for corruption but for Perjury.
Ah, I stand corrected.
Perhaps all tory ministers should do 6 months at her Maj’s pleasure.
I suspect that more than one would've met the qualifying criteria for this had they been employed in a different career. I certainly think that it would be of huge benefit to the justice system if the ministers responsible had first-hand experience of being in jail.
The choice of PM is not up to the oppostion(s) to decide really.
The opposition(s) can shout from afar but that is all they can do, if they want to install their own PM they have to win the election first. Which I think will not happen for at least 3 terms.
PM May is doing just fine but as usual she has to deal with many obstacles thrown at her, which is rather normal in British politics really. 😀
In my view Corbyn should remain opposition leader for at least 3 terms.
Alternatively, the opposition might want to have Emily Thornberry as their replacement leader.
Emily Thornberry the new Labour leader perhaps? 😀
bit early to be starting on the hard stuff chewk?

I'm sure she would be more relaxed if the only threat came from in front.

The World Cup is a bit sloowwww .... 😀

Shouldn't the opposition(s) just back PM May to let her get on her job of dealing with the departure from EU system?
So, has someone prodded the 1922 Committee into some Cricket Pavilion for salmon sandwich’s and an undisclosed/uncoordinated handshake behind the decking ?
Unless they actually do anything, nart will ‘appen.

That appears to be their plan.
1) Make vague statement about general ideals of free trade etc
2) Point out that the policy of negotiating behind closed doors means the tories cant be scrutinised by either labour or the electorate.
3) Get called all sorts at PMQ's knowing that May struggles to cirticise their plans because they're so vague but looks stupid calling them out on it when her own plans are vague or kept secret.
I very much doubt Labour wants to win an election right now. Two years ago maybe they could have gained a mandate for stopping the article 50 process or been able to go into negotiations and basically stay in the EU in all but name (a Dave's new deal V1.1 if you like). But right now i suspect most politicians of all colours would like to see May ruined by Brexit after which the the Tories can hopefully re-brand as Nu-Tory with more centrist post-austerity policies (A reformed, "Gideon made me do it" IDS?), and Labour can carry on with it's ideological left experiment till the end of the term.
Javid.

I've always thought this, he shows flashes of lucid brilliance followed by utter cretinous stupidity.
I wonder how the brexshit racists will respond to Javid as PM.
Thank the great and the good of STW for the killfile.
It isn't working for me since the forum update
