In relation to Ruth for PM,
You can see why it's been suggested by some down South, on the face of it you'd have to assume that she's a competent politician, the reality of course is that she found a very niche 'policy' and used it in an arena where people (mostly mono-brows ) were willing to vote for it, add to that Labour actively encouraging folk to vote Tory and you've got a situation that was able to mask her actual attributes
and her attributes are painfully poor - last weeks FMQs should vave been an absolute breeze for her as she could attack the FM for declaring the contents of a private call, and yet Sturgeon just handed her a great big f'ck off telt - it's the same every week - the opposition should be able to put the FM under pressure every single week and yet the FM always comes out looking the winner,
We've also seen that she can't handle a grilling, her Woman's Hour interview was absolute car crash stuff ... and then there's the Channel 4 thing from the other day where she get's increasingly agitated at the line of questioning before just fucking off without answering. Did she not also give an interview where she said imigration to Scotland was to much, not enough and just right all at the same time ?
She'd need to prove herself elsewhere before she'd seriously be considered for the role but oh the joy if they did just hand her the keys to No10. Glorious
