be interesting, you have a reshuffle coming up in September, some people are going to have to take the fall. In any sane world there would be a whole range of senior politicians retiring to the back benches to lick their wounds, the question is are there any people capable of stepping up to replace them, and of the obvious candidates, would anyone be willing to be crew on this ship of the damned?

Of those you'd think likely to be in a shoulderblade cutlery bisection situation, the major candidates, you'd think that Hunt May  and maybe Landsley would be likely to fall

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Helen:

the right wing of the Tory party have convinced themselves that the country is crying out for raw conservativism

How right do you think they are?

They're voting their prejudices, and they can afford to do it.  The party has no real way to punish them for stepping out of line.  The LibDems, on the other hand, have no alternative but to vote the Tory party line, courtesy Clegg's Corrupt Bargain.  If they break the coalition, they'll immediately roll over and head to the bottom.

hmmm I missed a "For each other" from the middle of that
