    Those interrupted loadings of images are not necessarily caused by the server. They can come from CDNs, routers between your virgin media routers and the server, google code caches or more likely browser cache keeping corrupted compressed images. I noticed for example that the quality of my VOIP...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it was JC who gave a thumping majority to BJ who later supported Truss to replace him. Starmer succeeded in making Labour a credible alternative in just 2 years. Not a bad result.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There was a time when a buffoon like Johnson could not do much harm to the economy but that time is gone. Sunak has good presentation skills and a sharp brain plus traditional economics instincts.

    Starmer would have an easier win with Johnson as PM.

    The bookies has sunak on 1/3. It is pretty much in the bag unless he says something stupid on TV.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sunak currently has 50 more supportive MPs than BJ (122/72). That's a lot of gap. I can't see BJ making a plausible come back.

    He does not have to. Our system implies that the person he asks to form the next government is already mandated by/have the confidence of parliament. At the moment, the conservatives try to elect their leader, we still have a PM until their new leader emerges. Charles does not have to do anything.

    they can't go against the constitution of the conservative party. The way the 1922 committee devised this October election is about the best they can do, they will give the best chance for the last two candidates to do a deal. Sunak knows that the idiotic membership will vote for Johnson...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Patel, Dorries, Jenkyns, Bone, JRM, Leigh, Travelyan etc, all the extremists have nowhere else to go to. If BJ were to form a new government, he can't borrow and spend his way out to buy votes like he did before, his magic money tree has gone for years to come. Back in 2008, just before the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sunak is going to win the indicative vote Monday evening. The question is then will he be opposed? I think not. The polls suggest that Sunak is best placed to reduce the damage to conservative votes.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the BJ threat seems to recede as his tally does not grow as fast as Sunak's. The Pound and FTSE100 rose a little bit. I was trying to delay paying the Chinese until Monday but got cold feet and bought USD before BJ lost his early lead so lost a bit on the exchange.

    there may be some crank calls. The guy who compiles the list is supposed to check that the callers declare themselves.

    their names are listed, I have no reason to doubt the tally. Currently, Sunak has 78 names + 3 verified MPs but their names are not made public, total 81. BJ has 45 names + 17 who did not want their names in print, total 62. Mordaunt has 18 names + 3 undisclosed names. That's nearly half of all...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not convinced he will run. Firstly, Sunak is more popular with the MPs than he is. If you compare the names of his backers against Sunak, Sunak has the cream of the party while he's got the dross. Also, the economy is such in a bad shape that he would have to tax more, spend less and still...

    BJ and Sunak will almost certainly reach the minimum required 100 endorsements. Sunak is leading but will BJ show up on Monday to register his candidacy? What do you think? https://order-order.com/2022/10/21/whos-backing-who-rishi-levels-up-to-boris/ So far, 148 tory MPs have disclosed their...

    I can't see how. From North to South, people feel let down by his government, this one and very likely the next one. England may often vote conservatives but will punish any party that loses their money.

    the real wrecker is BJ. He got us a hard brexit and put the extremists in charge.
