So that's Javid out, unsurprisingly.

I'm just disappointed that Rory Stewart's out, as now I'm going to have to vote for somebody I don't want to vote for in a general election, just to do my bit in keeping Corbyn out.
May the bridges I burn light your way

I wonder if little Rory spoilt his ballot paper.

Well I'm surprised that 14 people who voted for Rory Stewart switched their allegiance to Boris Johnson... Only I'm not really.
Here's a question for all those who think that Rory Stewart occupies the middle ground of politics - why the hell do you think that!
My missus, who until last night was hoping Stewart got through, because she's a died-in-the-wool green liberal, discovered a website that shows all the voting that all MPs have done in parliament. Stewart is as right wing as they come: he's voted Yes to every phase of HS2, yes to Heathrow expansion, yes to fox hunting, yes to badger culling. He has opposed every single green target to reduce pollution in whatever form.
That's not a leopard!

Was there one spoiled, Enoch? I don't know the numbers, only that Javid's out.

And finally, for balance here is Michelle Gove:

As you can see, no Liberals, or Greens here. All three of the cxnts would sell our forests to the highest bidder.

What, you think having free time and wandering through forests is a bad thing? :conf:
Surely better than wandering through a desert of diesel fumes and woodburner smoke whilst unemployed.
