    I have no doubt of his intelligence, but as I've noted over the years, intelligence and common sense are rare bed-fellows.

    Very few foreign politicians seem too impressed with the decision. I've heard several people say the job's a bit of a consolation for being c****ed on by Gove.

    Well, Gove got his comeuppance. The pub landlord said (likely misquoting Shakespeare) "He who wields the dagger seldom gets the prize." - And isn't it true?

    I think he'll surprise us all, and I hope Corbyn has something up his sleeve too, even tho' he appears dead in the water.

    He hasn't put his foot in his mouth yet - just a couple of brief statements regarding events in France and Turkey.

    I will guess that he'll have 'advisers' pointing out what he can and cannot say now.

    I can imagine Boris having a couple of 'nannies' to keep him on the straight & narrow!

    So she stirs up all the sh*t, then backs out! - I seem to think we've seen this elsewhere recently.

    Frankly, I hope Corbyn wipes the floor with Owen. - It doesn't look as if will be too hard as long as the contest isn't rigged.

    David Cameron's leaving Parliament; I suspect he's got a couple of nice money-earning irons in the fire: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37342152

    I hope the door doesn't hit him too hard on his way out!

    He'll be running to fast chasing those pay cheques for the door to hit him.
