Despite being better off financially if Gove gets the gig, in the interest of the country and invoking article 50 asap Leadsom gets my vote.May has already stated we will not be leaving the EU this year.Don't trust the woman.

As long as it is not May, she said Sharia law benefits the uk.


The problem with Leadsom is that she is an ex banker, so we know what will happen if she is in command.

Im a Gove fan myself.

^ Theresa May has already stated that -  there will be, "the creation of a 'Department for Brexit' with the job of negotiating Britain's exit from the EU to a senior Leave campaigner"

Would the obvious be - Andrea Leadsom?

- or - Would Michael Gove get his reward for taking Boris out of the Leadership/Premiership equation?

- or - would Ian Duncan Smith be rewarded for supporting Theresa May in this Leadership contest?

I am starting to like Gove more as it seems he would push through Brexit quicker and more as the public voted for.

His ties to Murdoch/Dacre may bring him down.

Every MP has ties to the media, its just that Gove is clear to see which ironically may lead him not to be so tied down with them.
Report Tallywagger. July 2, 2016 11:58 AM BST
Leadsom should be the next PM.

She's more likeable than Gove/May

She will appeal to the floating voter

She was for Brexit

She will hurt the UKIP vote. The other two could well increase the UKIP vote.

If it's May I fear the worst. All Tory Remainers backing her. Stitch up on the cards.

That loathsome Anne Sudbury wants May to just be given the pm job nothing like democracy I guess Cry she is very worried it will go to the members of the Conservative party who may well vote for a brexiter

Leadsom made Soubry look a complete idiot in the EU debate. Although to be fair Kirk from Corrie could have achieved the same result.

The Daily Telegraph pulled an article critical of Conservative leadership contender Theresa May from its website after pressure from her campaign team, it has been claimed.
The article by Jonathan Foreman, which can still be read in full at Web Archive, has mysteriously disappeared from the newspaper’s website and any attempt to access it at its original location returns a 404 error.

Now the Guido Fawkes blog says that Mrs May’s campaign thought it was so damaging they “insisted it be removed or the newspaper would suffer consequences after her coronation…”

The article, entitled “Theresa May is a great self-promoter, but a terrible Home Secretary”, provides an excoriating list of the Home Secretary’s failings while in office, saying that although she is good at exuding an air of competence, her record “has been little better than disastrous”.

As Breitbart London reported on Thursday, Mrs May presided over the biggest migration surge in British history all the while promising to reduce figures to the “tens of thousands”.

In his article, Mr Foreman says she is responsible for a “succession of derelictions that has left Britain’s borders and coastline at least as insecure as they were in 2010, and which mean that British governments still rely on guesswork to estimate how many people enter and leave the country.”

Among her failings, Mr Foreman includes:

Take the demoralised, underfunded UK Border Force. As the public discovered after a people-smugglers’ vessel ran aground in May, it has has only three cutters protecting 7,700 miles of coastline. Italy by contrast has 600 boats patrolling its 4722 miles.

Considering the impression Mrs May gives of being serious about security, it’s all the more astonishing that she has also allowed the UK’s small airfields to go unpatrolled – despite the vastly increased terrorist threat of the last few years, the onset of the migration crisis, and the emergence of smuggling networks that traffic people, drugs and arms.

Then there is the failure to establish exit checks at all the country’s airports and ports. These were supposed to be in place by March 2015.

The incident comes shortly after the Telegraph was forced to apologise after one of its journalists incited murder against UKIP leader Nigel Farage.

Catherine Gee wrote on Twitter: “You know that time travel conundrum: would you kill baby Hitler? Same but Nigel Farage.”

The paper issued an apology, saying: “The tweets were wholly inappropriate and offensive. Once we became aware of them, we instructed the member of staff to remove them immediately from her personal feed.”
