There are now some eight MPs who have said they want to be Tory leader, latest two are Rom Raab, a man, who as Minister for Brexit expressed surprise that so much of UK's trade relied on trade crossing the Channel between Dover and Calais
I mean, who knew we were an island?
Lately, he has suggested that in the event of a no deal there would still be a transition.
And he is a leading contender.
Michael Gove is married to a columnist on the Daily Mail, so already has the backing of Lord Rothermere, and his ear too. And he has already scuppered one Johnson leadership bid, and probably would sink another. The one thing most of the contenders agree on is that Johnson is a wanker.
That nearly 3 years after the referendum, leading members of the Conservative Party, and actual Ministers for Brexit, has such poor understanding of the issues involved, I mean we should be shocked and horrified, but in reality, we're not.
If you thought it was painful and embarrassing thus far, you have seen nothing yet, and the liklihood of a no deal gets closer as they don't understand, or want to understand, what it would mean.
Raab is already talking about more tax cuts for the wealthy, though unable to say where the money would come from, other than efficiencies.
What could possibly go wrong?
