Boris Johnson to be our next Prime Minister?

First out of the traps to challenge May -

Then a general election against Corbyn .

Who can possibly stop him?

What will stop him is Tory MPs who know what an incompetent liar he is and will not put him on the two person shortlist for the geriatric membership of the Tory party to vote on.

Has the age of the Tory membership been released? 

I remember reading it was only a couple of years older than the labour one.

Give Boris the job. Please.

Reading it where?

Best estimates of Tory party members puts their average age between 65 and 75 but could be as high as 71/72 (according to the Bow Group).

Full fact.

Makes interesting, if surprising, reading.

I think the real story of the Tory membership is how many there are.

Id be stunned if there were more than 30-40 thousand at this point.

It wouldn't surprise me either.

Johnson is not just a blustering buffoon: he's a villain.

God help us all 

I heard BJ described as a 'big picture' sort of person, who wants to be loved. By all accounts he likes to see the broad view, and leaves the details to others. Whether its true or not, I don't know. 
He was astute enough to keep a low profile during the latter stages of the Brexit mess in Parliament, but I think his image is already tarnished for many. having said that, at least he's a Brexit person, and is more likely to drive a hard bargain in the next stage of negotiations.

I'm all for it. Whatever happens it will be banter.

Glos I don't know if you have looked at the video okocha posted but all these allegations are true and fully documented. One of his more fatuous lies is that the EU wants to ban bendy bananas and sadly I have heard more than one brexit voter say that is the reason they voted to leave the EU.

No, I didn't look at the video. As for the banana one, I'm sure I heard that claim many years ago, when even I was young !

But did you believe it?
