No Deal under Johnson I reckon will happen but by there being less of a resistance to do anything else once time runs out - the only way it can happen.

I mean Bamber would be a laugh only to see both a sitting chancellor AND prime minister lose their seats in 2022 (cause no way would a Tory association in this current state select Amber Rudd for a different safe seat)

Gove, Leadsome and Rabb join Boris and McVey in the contest.

I can see Boris and Gove being the last two with Boris winning. Think MP's and a lot of the membership recognise that he can win elections despite his tomfoolery so is probably more likely to beat Corbyn than Gove is. They want to win the next election and that's all that really matters to them as someone said on Sky News earlier. That's far more important even than Brexit. If they were sitting on a huge majority maybe they wouldn't need Boris but they do now.

So in recent days Rory Stewart has been performing a pretty excellent social media campaign and tour of the UK placing himself as a somewhat eccentric but approachable character who’s willing to compromise, listen and fix. Now this is casting him as the Tory for people who don’t vote Tory, unsurprisingly, and he has very little support from MPs but I do think he’d be a pretty savvy pick. And at least one of the candidates isn’t terrible in how they are presenting themselves even if his vote record is typical Tory whip-mandated.

Brett-Butler has looked into his marvellous crystal ball (and it is a marvellous ball indeed, it's glittery and all), and can predict that on Question Time tonight, Rory will say something that will get him "cancelled" faster than you can say "Milkshake Duck".
