Cameron is going, Johnson has been in hiding and Labour faces civil war. So who will lead Britain?

The country has voted for change but the future is unclear. Leadership is needed writes Keiran Pedley Last Thursday’s Brexit vote was truly an historic event in our country’s history. The consequences for British politics will take time to play out. Right now the country is tense. Since David Cameron’s resignation Friday morning there is a political vacuum at the heart of power and sense of uncertainty in the air. Only a fool would predict with any degree of certainty…

What would David do?

What would David do?

Far too little consideration has yet gone into what the referendum result will mean for British politics, even though it is now just a few days away.  If the polls are right – big if – Leave will win.  It’s time to consider what that might mean. David Cameron’s authority would be dust.  He has staked everything on the referendum and if Leave win he would have lost.  While many Conservative members remain well-disposed to him, including many who support…

Leave’s major advantage in the last three weeks of the campaign. The Tory press is on their side

Leave’s major advantage in the last three weeks of the campaign. The Tory press is on their side

The Sun front page from last Friday, after another poor set of net immigration figures for Cameron This referendum could boil down to Cameron v The Tory Press. If Cameron prevails, it could be good news for Corbyn. One of the most fascinating aspects of this referendum campaign is a Tory PM and most of the Tory Press being on opposite sides. As Neil Kinnock and Ed Miliband can attest the press can very brutal. Whilst I don’t subscribe to…

Anyone with experience of meetings knows that to control the agenda is to control the meeting….

The Wrath of Khan, Sadiq Khan accuses David Cameron of Trump-like anti Muslim tactics https://t.co/d4xYcljodG pic.twitter.com/kW3l90MlbN — TSE (@TSEofPB) May 7, 2016 As a Muslim I was appalled at Goldsmith’s campaign, as a Tory I’m appalled that Goldsmith’s campaign makes Corbyn as PM more likely. When your own sister criticises your campaign and praises your opponent as a good role model, when the media runs a quiz asking Who said it: Britain First or Zac Goldsmith? deep down you must know you’ve run…

Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his friends for his life

These don’t appear to be the actions of a PM confident of winning the referendum Senior Cameron aide asked rebels at Tory away day if moving Osborne would "save PM" in the event of a Brexit vote. See Sunday Times — Tim Shipman (@ShippersUnbound) April 30, 2016 Typo alert – The below tweet I think he means Foreign Sec, I hope Tory whip has also been asking Eurosceptics whether moving Osborne to foreign sex would help calm civil war. —…
