Theresa May's time is up

[not-bono-ever]

survey of *economists* and *wankers* I saw earlier ranks DD as the best outcome for the £ , with a Corbyn incoming as the worst.

Surely economists would want Hammond rather than a flaky Brexiteer?

 

[not-bono-ever]

I know. I think they were not given the "hamster" Hammond option - it was Tess D'Mayhem, "Dangerous" Davies or "Red Dawn" Jez

 

[Kaka Tim]

well, this is the latest poll on Conservative Home, he's number 1 with the membership atm, by a huge margin.

https://www.conservativehome.com/th...-the-top-our-our-next-tory-leader-survey.html

He got 21%. Hardly a ringing endorsment. He's more popular than the others - but i imainge he is also a lot more hated than the others too. Anyway - i dont think the tory mps will let him get to the run off.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Has she gone yet?

 

[not-bono-ever]

I think it would take the SAS to remove her at the minute judging by her mindset of late - she is probably wrapped in a blanket, chained herself to a radiator in #10, smeared her own faeces on the walls and is threatening to drink a 70cl bottle of baileys in one go to kill herself is anyone tries to force her out of her house

What about Ex SAS?

send in delta force to bungle the job with grenades like they always do

They will invariably crash one of their choppers onto Whtehall at the same time

On the new just now, "It is understood that David Cameroon has phoned Mrs May to offer his support."

Oh well, so long Tess, was nasty knowing ya.

You’ve got to wonder how representative of the Tory membership an online poll is - by definition
It’s those online and we know their average member age is 54.

Alex

 

[Poi E]

Average member age is now 72. They are a party in serious decline.

further down on the article they quote a yougov survey that was commissioned at the same time as a previous poll they'd conducted, which had almost identical figures to their survey - I think they reflect the views of the membership reasonably well.

Fuck I’m quoting 2 year old numbers, 72 is terrible.

Hehe.

Alex

 

[killer b]

I don't think that's true - actual figure is 57 according to a recent yougov

 

[Plumdaff]

Still, your average 72 year old in 2017 probably shops online and Skypes the grandkids every weekend so no reason Conservative Home should be unrepresentative.

BBC news reporting Shapps has come out, admitting leading a group of 30 Tories, including 5 former cabinet members, calling for May to step down.

That 30 being Shapps himself Angela Leadsom, Michael Green, Sebastian Fox and 26 of Shapps's other aliases

Your average 72 year old who is also a conservative member ??

Alex

 

[Poi E]

Fuck knows about the source but they are a conservative outfit.

The AVERAGE age of a Tory member has just skyrocketed to 72. Seriously. | Evolve Politics

Alex

Yes.

 

[Pickman's model]

the average age of a vietnam vet is less than that of the average tory

 

[tim]

Aye, anyway shouldn't he de called:Al-Bode-PfeJo as his name is: Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson? Or has he, like the now late Anthony Wedgewood Benn (of sainted memory), changed his name?

Names come and go but, bearing in mind paternal Ottoman ancestry, perhaps we should just think of him as Boris Kemal.

 

[alex_]

Yes.

Stats or probably ?

I can't actually get the report to open, and I wouldn't trust Evolve Politics not to misread the data.

 

[killer b]

It seems wildly unlikely the average age would have shot up from 54 to 72 in a couple of years anyway.

yeh? because...

so, killer b...

 

[Pickman's model]

so killer b

 

[Pickman's model]

why should the average age of a tory have soared from 59 to 68 between may and september 2013?

answers on a postcard, please, to killer b
