Tick-tock, tick-tock, the Brexit clock doesn’t stop. October 31st is the deadline and the next prime minister will barely have a moment to catch his breath before he has to make some vital decisions for the future of our country.
That’s why, for the sake of the national interest, this farcical Tory leadership contest should be concluded as soon as possible and Boris should be made prime minister. Boris has got this, as they say. The first round is now in and it is obvious not only that, with 114 MPs behind him, he will make the final two. Everybody realises that he will win from there. The longer his opponents drag the fight on, the less time he will have to lead. They should all drop out now and accept defeat.
Politicians being politicians, they tend to think in terms of their own interest, so the contest will go on.
