He seems to be all over the place with his views and what he has actually done. I'm sure I read somewhere that he (Stewart) flirted with Labour when David Milliband was Foreign Secretary. Having said that a PM who'd been to Dragon School would surely restore us to our rightful place as world leaders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not for his family background you would never have him pegged as a Tory. Apart from all the times he has voted to cut disability benefits etc And he has a name like "Rory" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Stewart isn't exactly either of those things, which immediately moves him towards the better end of the candidate list. I'd be seriously questioning your parenting skills if your 4 year old had developed a taste for indiscriminate bombing of foreigners...

I'm really struggling to think of any other nation which has so prostrated itself before another as the Tories are now preparing to do, with the full connivance of the domestic media. It's as if some of them will not rest until the UK is firmly positioned in a list between Tennessee and Utah, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Britons are driving on the right side of the road within five years. Never mind a parcel o' rogues, this is state-sponsored masochism with knobs......well, anywhere you care to put them, Uncle Sam. Surely even the thickest, most bigoted and racist Brexiteer has to realise what's about to unfold here. Scotland, circa 1706-7. And again in 2014, that time with the full connivance of the domestic media. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Jeremy Hunt and Kushner are apparently getting pally. I didn't think my opinion of Hunt could get lower but he's managed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) The BBC is giving Rory Stewart all the coverage that it can but he remains stuck on five declared supporters. He needs another two or three tomorrow just to get on the ballot paper. His chances of getting the required 17 MPs to get on the second ballot are extremely slim. Stewart's problem is that most of the Remainers (including the May loyalists) are backing Hunt. A few of the hardline rebels going for Matt Hancock, Gideon Osborne's protege. Stewart should withdraw gracefully rather than suffer an embarrassing humiliation. ETA - The hapless McVey, Leadsom, Harper and the utterly ridiculous Gyimah should withdraw too. No one has declared for Gyimah! . Edited June 5, 2019 by Bishop Briggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Canny believe that folk would make excuses for Rory Stewart. He's a Tory. Which means he's a c**t, and means he has an ideology which is vile. That's what being a Tory means. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an election for Tory Party Leader, a Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi figure is unlikely to be one of the options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not HB and that's a bizarre response. You've really shown me up for not keeping up Jeremy Hunt's pish over the weekend.
