One leadership candidate is saying that claims made by other candidates are misleading (which seems fair enough). I don't think that actually qualifies as lying.

The trouble for the Not Theresa's Deal bunch is that on the one hand, they've spent so much time saying its a Bad Deal that they have to get a different deal (otherwise they can be rightly criticised for accepting the Bad Deal). On the other hand, the EU position seems to be that it's not exactly their fault that the elected government can't get the deal past the government's own party - so why should they renegotiate or offer concessions just because there is a new party leader.

You do say some silly things. Firstly there is no general election currently planned. The conservative party are not about to give up power to anyone. The party (sic) of which he leads is not a political party its a limited company and does not currently even have a manifesto, let alone any policies on how to run a country. It is a one trick pony. Contradicting myself though, interesting that they might even have an MP on Friday. I find it hard to believe how gullible the British electorate are.

I do hope that slime ball is not elected to be Farage's front man in Peterborough. He was head of a company that bought freehold's off building companies. You know the companies that sold you a house but not the land it is built on. If you want to do any changes to the building or the garden you have to pay them. If you want to continue to live there you have to pay several hundred pounds a year for letting them have a house built on their land. And if you cannot move as who else would buy the property.
