David Davies

The Tories should have chosen him to lead them instead of that clown Cameron, aided and abetted by the thick Gideon (all that education and privilege and ends up with a fookin useless history degree ... and then becomes C of Exch!!).

Davies is my kinda guy.  Working class origins, took his opportunities to get a good education.

I'm a big fan ... some time ago when he was asked a question once (can't remember details) he responded by saying something like when he was faced with a similar problem in his job (in industry) he did this ... and gave a straightforward experiential answer.

A politician with real life experience in industry and commerce, who's bright.  Very rare.

The mere thought of anyone wanting to kiss Abbot is a tad far fetched.

Two misguided fools

Very droll, Breeding.

What a wit.

I'm only a half-wit

Mememe,

I remember Davis' campaign to become Tory leader in 2005. He bored the members to death by repeatedly talking about growing up on a council estate. At the time he would have been seen as yet another lurch to the right, the party having previously appointed Hague, Duncan-Smith and Howard. Both Hague and Howard led the Tories to electoral defeat, espousing similar policies to those that led the party to a landslide defeat in 1997. Had Davis been elected leader, the likely outcome in the 2010 General Election would have been a Lib/Lab coalition with the Tories remaining in stasis.

never allow anyone working class the chance of power.

if possible try not to work for a boss who is working class

Had Davis been elected leader, the likely outcome in the 2010 General Election would have been a Lib/Lab coalition with the Tories remaining in stasis.

How can you draw that conclusion?

Wow?

Because the electorate still remembered 18 years of Tory rule and conservatives like Davis were part of that era. At the time Cameron represented a different, more compassionate brand of conservatism. Although it wasn't good enough to get him a majority, it did achieve the highest number of seats 2010, something Davis would have been unlikely to achieve given that he is too far to the right of the party.

Also I think Nick Clegg would have been more willing to strike a deal with Gordon Brown than with David Davis.

Just an opinion then ...

and mine is that I like the guy - and if he had been elected leader he would have won an overwhelming majority ... with a lot of ordinary aspiring people voting Tory.

people that are now voting UKIP

(well soon will be in Stoke )

Absolutely - we're all stating our opinions here.

I disagree that he would have won an overwhelming majority in 2010, indeed any majority in 2010 for the reasons stated above. However, were he leader in 2020, assuming that is the year of the next GE, I think he would win a majority (not an overwhelming one) given the current political climate.

they still can choose davis, but he dont seem too popular,

former golden boy of the torys to toys out the pram

would have been a worse leader than ids

from the hypocrisy of private schools,brexit,racist comments,chips on both shoulders,mystery illness,s to miss the most important vote in 50 years, etc,etc it must be one of the uk,s greatest mysterys how abbot keeps getting elected,i,assume her voters want labour in power and voting for her greatly diminishes any chance of that happening,unless all her voters are like her

compare davis with abbott......about right

Mememe I would not  be to cocky about Nutall in Stoke, Labour could still win there

We'll never know.

But if he were leader for 2020 election, assuming labour has gone by then, I think he'll pick up a lot of support from UKIP leaning voters ... but just an opinion.

Anyway it won't matter I guess as there'll probably be no opposition (except UKIP, and they're really a one issue party and Brexit will be over by then).  Tories will walk it in 2020, even if a donkey was their leader.  (IMO)

You do speak claptrap Memmeme all this Labour will be gone drivel , its 3 years off the election and I don't think One Nation Theresa is up to much at all

I said ... people that are now voting UKIP Laugh

(well soon will be in Stoke Laugh)



You said ... Mememe I would not  be to cocky about Nutall in Stoke, Labour could still win there

Erm, where do I say Labour wouldn't win?

But truth doesn't fit your agenda, does it.  Didn't believe my miner Grandfather voted Tory all his life, because it doesn't fit your prejudice, does it?

I never said he didn't vote tory , just that there would not have been many doing the same

Anyway the tories and ukip are the same thing

I'm not

70% of stoke voted for brexit so labour put up a swivel eyed remoaner swearing and abusing brexiteers,one would think they didnt want to win,

the council estate david davies grew up on is hardly a typical menacing, enclosed, concrete jungle estate, as far as estates go it's quite pleasant, a few mini blocks dotted around a green.

ukip put up walter mitty

one of them likely to win

Not the feminists playing the sexist card?

They want equality but with 'special status'

What the response be if Abbott had said it about Davis?

David Davis joked that he hugged her and would make a good Specsavers ad
Ms Abbott told the Brexit minister to 'f*** off' when he tried to embrace her

Revealed: Jeremy Corbyn 'showed off' naked Diane Abbott to impress Left-wing friends DT 29 January 2016

I always thought lefties were nutters but if one of them thinks that showing a naked Diane Abbott would impress them, thenI've been too kind.

And he wants to be PM?  And they want him to be? 

Think it was more a case of Jeremy Corbyn showing his friends he was no longer a bearded virgin.

The fact that she is black would have given him extra status among the progressive nerds.

Diane Flabbott Hypocrite , she couldnt vote last week because of a headache, but a tory guy suffering from brain cancer,
made it from his hospital bed, turned up in a wheelchair, and said he felt awful but made the effort....
she really is a piece of ****

Yeah, but Zen, I mean ...

Public service is laudable and all that but Jezzer didn't need to sh@g her to get brownie points from the leftie nutters, surely?

A selfie with her would have been sufficient, surely.

Polaroid selfies were troublesome back in the day mememe, two hands needed to take the photo but one hand needed to cover ones self pride will dust sheet.

More pathetic playground drivel from the spiv fans here

locker room banter.....

What kind of "mate" publishes the message ??

jealous

Davis now in trouble for sending a text saying he wouldn't hug Flabbott as he "wasn't blind" .

Don't see the problem here, we think it, he says it!

Chuka Umunna got on his high horse to say: "I think it's sexist, I think it's misogynistic..."

God almighty that weasel is such a t0553r, every time he comes on and speaks ending his sentence with that sort of "valley girl" inflection I want to break something.

Nah, hypocryte, that's why.

But choose what you want to suit your prejudice, chicken.

do you think andrew neil hates her because she,s black or because she,s
2 faced
racist
hypocritical
chips on both shoulders
liar
etc,etc

That applies to probably over half the members of parliament but they don't get the same hatred , it seems a bit odd i thought

Most don't seek the publicity she does

Its so unusual a politician telling the truth.

i see he apologised
