And anyway, KKOB, as you kindly prompted, it is not a poll, it is a bet. So I wrote it in the same way as I used to write up the runners on the blackboards in bookies' shops.

Ken Clarke does his version of "how to win friends and influence people"

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipW1D2EyDbA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipW1D2EyDbA</a>

May: A bloody difficult woman

Leadsome: She's not one of the mindless, tiny band of lunatics who think we can have a sort of glorious economic future outside  the Single Market"

Gove: As long as [he] is not in the final two I don't mind. I think as Gove as Prime Minister we'd go to war with at least three countries at once."

We are perfectly amicable except on one subject. You might be able to guess which one.

Apparently Andrea Leadsom  is not as highly qualified in finance as she is telling us.
She is allegedly somewhat creative about paying tax

It is the old adage isn't it?

That MP was lying! How do you know? His/her lips were moving!

Final day of MPs voting for leadership candidates and the news is of more Govian skulduggery. Reports say he has got his supporters out trying to persuade May supporters to vote for Gove in order to knock Leadsom out of the contest. Nice chap this Gove, ain't he.

That's it. It is down to "a bloody difficult woman" versus "a frightening woman" for who is to be our next Prime Minister.

Theresa May
Liam Fox
Michael Gove
Stephen Crabb
Andrea Leadsom

Quotes from their Tory "colleagues".
