I was quite surprised and disappointed David Davis didn’t stand.
All Ten could get through the second round too
Be interesting to see how many make the first round. Anyone doing a book? Four or five I think.

i thought bottom of poll was out, as well as those not making 5-10% hurdles
Donny - according to the BBC
the bottom of the poll rule only cuts in after the second round and then only if they all exceed the 33 (10%) vote threshold. That could easily happen as there could easily be four or five left after the first round and they may all get more than 10%. Gonna be fun. if you like this kind of thing.

Never trust the BBC. 
Apologies!!
https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN01366 - This is as close as you can get to the horses mouth and confirms that Donny is perfectly correct.
If I know where to look for the facts (eventually), why don't the BBC.

Victoria Derbyshire has already made her mind up about Jeremy Runt

Maitlis just summed Twunt up perfectly on Newsnight, "He's a remainer"
Esther McVey would be a good choice. She'd unite the country. 
What a sorry state the ****ry is in , we Might have Boris , the alt is Jezza.Without the Brexit fiasco ,I think T MAY would have been a decent pm ...
The thought of either of the other two ending up as PM is beyond belief tbh .... I could vote for neither in a general election ..Mind boggling

Looks like Boris will triumph.
Could have been given a decent run by Gove if he'd kept his mouth shut.

Mac - Nothing wrong with sellers at Plumpton
My retirement race in 2005 was a seller at Plumpton.

Andrea Leadsom's got her red lines and Michael Gove's got his white lines.
Country needs burning down to the ground from one end to the other
Its a pity about Gove
I was hoping he would get in and legalise cocaine, or if not cocaine
some of the softer drugs...oh well

^ pretty much this.
if any of them expressed a desire to engage in some reform of drug laws, it would have actually been good.
still unsure why there hasn't even been something of a notable attempt to legalise weed here from either side. could come up with reasons for left and right to support it

Apologies blackbarn, I did Plumpton and your good self a disservice indeed. Not many people get a race run in their honour. More importantly, did you bet the winner? 
Yes I agree aaronh
The problem with our governments is they don't think they are doing a good job unless they make us suffer in one way
or another
THEY JUST DON'T WANT US BEING TOO HAPPY

Mac - No!!!. Most of us backed the fourth!. The winner was 25/1 and was trained by the permit-holding daughter of a golfing mate of one of the party. The "reliable" info on this was that it had no chance. The second horse was also 25/1 and the exacta paid just over £500. Good old Plumpton. My only vaguely redeeming act was that I picked the winner as best turned out ffs
and still didnt back it. Lovely day though!

That is tough luck blackbarn. Main thing is that you had a great day! I actually buy a Plumpton racing diary each year, lol.
Dont be silly mac. PM me next season and I'll send you mine! Plummers is great - You should come down, I could put you up in the Barn, but we have sexier accommodation next door - a cosy Shepherd's Hut with Shower and Woodburner. We'll even make you breakfast!!
That`s a very gracious offer blackbarn and very much appreciated. If only circumstances were different, that would have been great thanks! All the best to you and your dad and family!
Bozo sails through 1st round. The media snipes will not be happy; & Beth Rigby stoops lower than Quasi with thoracic stenosis. But all in all the Bozo train still on track; & just in case anyone still thinks he's an "idiot" - change the record
Rumpole opening proceedings is also a massive boost within the Party

It's quite a fine line but there is a distinction between a common garden idiot (with no education) and a (very expensively) educated idiot. Boris clearly the latter.
or a chit chat one with as much nounce as a hyperactive goldfish
i still haven't worked out whether da management is a Dunning or a Kruger yet though
You'll be looking up tantrum as well if you keep pulling his leg mouse.
Has he been adviced to play it safe, or has Bojo lost his Mojo?
I think he has, because the other half of his act backed off earlier after I'd poked him in the ribs.
i think da management needs mouse to explain the difference between"nuance" & "nounce" Then again, trying to explain anything to a goldfish may well fall on deaf fins
maybe nursery school hasn't got around to big words like nounce yet?

Nounce is almost synonymous with nous, as I expected. Probably a regional thing.
which doesn't seem to fit with the sentence i used. Well unless you are a goldfish of course
Your reply to me consists of name calling and insults - but I am the nursery school pupil?
It's been fascinating talking to you.

Note to Blackbarn, I go to Plumpton each year more than any other racecourse in the country. My brother has got a share of a horse with Suzy Smith who trains nearby. I absolutely love that track
Boris must have been told to hold fire again after avoiding a bunch of questions at his presser
da management seems to have a very thin skin, unless he's dishing it out. If you think what i have said is insults & name calling; you really must still be in nursery
aaronh: he did what he had to do; & very successfully yet still gets called an idiot by some. He answered 5 questions & leg glanced another to long leg. Just because you or the media don't like his answers is immaterial. He cares not one jot about anything at the moment except the part faithful, & will bat away anything that can get the media frothing. 8 days left & a flat wicket; why go for a hoik over the bowlers head?

Or kicked the can, to use his own expression from the very same speech.

A fascinating insight - you have a true gift for stating the blindingly obvious.
looks like no-deal is back on the table, Jezza heartbroken & the remainers in the Tory Party now fearing for their seats. Don't you just love a plan coming together
You are very clued up - do you watch the news and read the papers?
You should start more threads, I can't be the only one that admires the level of discussion and debate that you stimulate.

You were right - but I can handle a bit of childish name calling Doc.
good grief i don't even know how to respond to that! Embarrassingly bad as it was. If i wanted the admiration of a goldfish i'd address a fairground bowl
tantrum - "a violent demonstration of rage or frustration; a sudden burst of ill temper"
talking common sense & rationality seems to have a different meaning to the uneducated. Maybe snipers & dummies should just slink around those they can bully or bait. You're way out of your league. Come back when you can debate properly or at least put up a decent showing, as this is decidedly one-sided & boring.

You're right I am out of my league. You have absolutely run rings around me with the articulate and compelling arguments you have made. I bow to your superior intellect and debating skills. And no doubt your dad is bigger than mine too.
