      Leadsom doesn't to release her tax return.

        Leadsom in her launch downgraded the extra NHS money to "billions", undercutting Gove's £5bn.

        As Phoebe said, it was £13.5bn on the bus. Added to Osborne's existing £8bn, it should be £21.5bn.

          Andrew Marr pushed her into a corner and she agreed to publish, she then later retracted and said perhaps if she was in the last two.

            Hmmm. What could she have to hide? Get digging people. She scares me more than May or the Bigot Crabb (It's hard to be scared exactly of Fish Boy).

              May has seriously misplayed the deportation angle. I guess, being a remianer, she has to be seen to be playing hardball, but she's just come across as a loathsome, cloth-eared and heartless opportunist.

                Isn't that what a Tory politician is supposed to be?

                  Think you're supposed to mask the evil now. Or maybe not. Depends if Lynton Crosby is involved.

                    That's hilarious. I think you can gauge just how little he understands about the north from this one sentence tucked away in the middle.

                    "The real cause of conflict in Northern Ireland has not been the British presence but British policy to dilute that presence."

                      Leadsom's "onwards, always onwards, upwards, never down, forward, opportunity, never backwards, spinning, spinning, spinning, wheee, flying!" speech will appeal to most Tories. She's the unknown one, and most of them hate all the others.

                        I hang around a FB forum for EU workers set up by that chap who organised blEUmonday today (clever name that...) and the mood is very upset and annoyed if not angry amongst the participants. May and by extension the Tories are not very popular...

                          Imagine the mental labyrinth Gove must dwell in for that to make sense as a Nordie solution. Again, if only a Times Journalist was in charge during the unpleasantness. Would have been sorted out by teatime. What could possibly go wrong with Uber Britannia Ascendancy?

                            Leadsom seems to have made a right pig's ear of her speech. Post IDS going to Easterhouse Tories have to chuck something sounding like social policy. She came up with something about babies' frontal lobes.

                            She'll probably get the Liam Fox votes if he drops out, so got a decent chance of coming ahead of Gove.

                              I'm only halfway through it. It's very tough going, particularly the bits about what actually happened in 1998 through to 2000. I suppose part of my problem is that I forgot about those things for a reason. It was just pointless wankery posturing.

                              He definitely sets off the cunt siren by calling Northern Ireland Ulster, and though I'm only halfway through, so far he's made no mention of the 99.75% of the northern Catholic community that wasn't in the IRA. So far I've gotten that he blames the Major government for not carrying shoot to kill through to its logical conclusion, and not fighting its dirty war to victory. (even though it was the thatcher govt that backed down from this)

                                That's just lazy southern thinking. You're letting the facts get in the way of the argument (and then vendetta against Major by the full lipped Doric David Johansen).

                                  For anyone concerned about the need to defend the majority’s wish in Ulster to remain British, the slow demilitarisation of the Province is worrying. In May 2000, troop levels in the Province were at their lowest since the 1960s, observation points were being dismantled and battalions slowly removed. The visible evidence of the State’s willingness to defend its rule was daily waning.

                                  What is wrong with this man?

                                  The prorogation of Stormont in 1972 is a scar on the Unionist psyche. But devolution between 1922 and 1972 must be
                                  accounted a failure. Although the discrimination practised during that period has been exaggerated it was real. The consequence of Stormont rule, rather than full integration of Northern Ireland into the UK, was a diminution of the citizenship of Ulster voters.

                                  Unionist advocates of devolution who have been nostalgic for
                                  Stormont have placed the restoration of an imperfect expression of the Union above the reality of strengthened links between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.


                                  hahaha.

                                  But the overall effect of the changes envisaged by Patten are clear. The operational effectiveness, morale and accumulated experience of Britain’s most important shield against terrorism will be compromised. Its Britishness will be effaced, its officers held accountable to politicians who were once trying to kill them and the memory of its fallen dishonoured.

                                  ahahahahaha. see if you can spot the hilarious revelation right in the middle of that.

                                  Patten also proposes changes to the RUC Reserve which would see the departure of thousands of the most experienced officers, and their replacement with recruits, some of whom may even be from paramilitary backgrounds, selected to make make up numbers in a sectarian headcount rather than on merit alone.

                                  my sides.

                                  All these changes will take effect on a police force which has been deprived of its identity, and made ashamed of its record. Because of IRA and loyalist terrorism the RUC has been the most dangerous police force in the Western hemisphere for any officer to serve in. Its hundreds of dead and wounded officers made their sacrifices for the Crown out of inspirational loyalty.

                                  But the Patten report dishonours that sacrifice by stripping the RUC of its name and insignia, effectively stating that the force’s badge is a mark of shame. The effect on morale of this change is incalculable. But what of the effect on the United Kingdom’s honour? What signal does it send to our servicemen that the bravest men and women in British uniforms can have their sacrifice dismissed?


                                  thank god it's started to pick up in the policing section because it was relatively dull before now.

                                  Oh my It's impossible to pick a single paragraph out of the human rights section. It's called "The Soft Underbelly." It starts on Page 50 and goes on for 10 pages. It's utterly bonkers from beginning to end.

                                  But the final chapter is glorious.

                                  My analysis is based on the belief that a liberal democracy owes certain duties to its citizens. It has a duty to uphold the right of a majority to live in the jurisdiction they choose – the basic principle of self-determination.

                                  Having embraced that duty, it must use all legal measures to
                                  defeat criminal subversion designed to overthrow that settlement. The State must also ensure that its law, culture and security forces reflect its willingness to defend the identity of its citizens


                                  This is sheer madness.

                                  The Belfast Agreement poses a threat not just to the
                                  Britishness of Northern Ireland but the British way of doing
                                  things in law, equality of opportunity, policing and human rights. In every area it creates unhappy precedents, likely to divide our society, burden the taxpayer and bloat the State.

                                  The Belfast Agreement has, at its heart, however, an even
                                  greater wickedness. It is a capitulation to violence, a validation of terrorism which has led “demilitarisation” – the removal of the British Army from our sovereign territory – to be rendered as the equivalent to “decommissioning” – the placing beyond use of illegally-held criminal arsenals. The moral stain of such a process will prove hard to efface. It is a humiliation of our Army, Police and Parliament. But, worse still, it is a denial of our national integrity, in every sense of the word. Surely, is the Belfast Agreement not the greatest achievement of this Government, but an indelible mark against it?


                                  Oh man.

                                    The Tory MPs start voting today. According to the Guardian, last night they ...

                                    "went to a special karaoke session in which I’m told all the leadership candidates, apart from Leadsom, turned up for a singalong that stretched into the night.

                                    Sources suggest Crabb came out with a belter: Don’t Stop Me Now!

                                    The karaoke was organised by the deputy leader of the house, Therese Coffey, and dozens of MPs came, singing a variety of songs including Mr Brightside, Mack the Knife and Summer Nights."

                                              Hilarious stuff from Ben Wallace MP. Says Gove cant drink a shandy without blabbing government business to journos. Not least when he was Chief Whip.
