It's amusing how ineffectual this is making Dave from PR appear. He's getting a good kicking from  his backbenchers, and also from the French. Leadership!

The insanity is for real. But if the Tory-tubbies are already this incoherent, their first round is going to be a suicidal TV drama of violence and cat scratching.

What worries me is the prospect of someone like 'Call me Stalin' Hannan getting the top job after a bloodletting, once Dave gets the Tubbies elected.

I'm not sure how solid CallMeDave's power base is. Judging by the short half life of 'leaders' like Hague, and the other one whose name everyone has forgotten already - not very.

That last question is actually the most interesting coment to arise from this. The others were dumped because they were seen to have failed to get elected or make people feel good about the tories. JellyDave will at least accomplish that much by becoming PM.

But he risks splitting the party to do it. Right now they prefer the prospect of power to bloodletting, but people like Hannan aren't really housetrained enough to stay on the leash for long.

If I can stay my outrage at what the tories will do to Britain, I might enjoy the next few years as both labour and tory party rips themselves to shreds.
