Velociraptor Jul 2016 6:44pm, 9 Jul 2016 34,068 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor One could argue, taking Tony Blair as an example, that a prime minister who has children will be motivated to line their own nest rather than ensure that other people's children have a positive future ahead of them.
Too Much Water Jul 2016 9:44pm, 9 Jul 2016 5,851 posts	Quote Pin Too Much Water Blair's daughter allegedly tried to kill herself in the latter half of his time at PM (there was a massive injunction I believe). Apparently she was getting shit at school over Iraq (I may have misremembered this)
ChrisHB Jul 2016 3:53pm, 10 Jul 2016 13,505 posts	Quote Pin ChrisHB What's the point of having candidates publish their tax returns? It would be far more interesting if they published their correspondence with any offshore tax havens.
halfpint Jul 2016 4:33pm, 10 Jul 2016 21,001 posts	Quote Pin halfpint I read today that Leadsom doesn't believe in feminism as she isn't a man-hater. Less and less credible with each passing news story.
LazyDaisy Jul 2016 4:43pm, 10 Jul 2016 14,902 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy Yes, that was in her infamous Times interview. She also wouldn't participate in the silly quick-fire Q&A these Saturday interviews have as a little rider to the main interview. She answered 'both' to several ('Continuity or change? 'Both') but at 'Jamie or Delia' she said she wouldn't answer any more of the questions as they were 'divisive'. Trivial or irrelevant perhaps, but if that's her idea of divisive has she any clue how divisive the Brexit result has been?
Duchess Jul 2016 5:29pm, 10 Jul 2016 6,971 posts	Quote Pin Duchess I'm sure naive isn't the correct word, but the inability to appreciate the consequences of what she says or does unnerves me immensely. I would rather have a calculating fiend, than a useful idiot.
Chrisull Jul 2016 11:47am, 11 Jul 2016 9,403 posts	Quote Pin Chrisull Theresa May will be PM by the end of the day it seems after Leadsom pulled out. Or does that mean Gove gets to run against her?
Chrisull Jul 2016 11:52am, 11 Jul 2016 9,405 posts	Quote Pin Chrisull Looks like Gove gets to run against her.
