The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

Milliband (the good one) third favourite for Labour leader? Is this a new thing or has it been like that for a while, I never noticed him there before.

He was priced at 8/1 a few weeks back. I seen him doing a bit of speaking and had a look to see what price was about a week before referendum.

QT next week on Chilcott including George Galloway, marmite politician I know but could be interesting viewing.

Jesus, that will be popcorn gif time, any idea who else is on?

10.45pm 7th July according to my Tivo, though I'm not sure if there's football on which could overrun?

I asked who else is on, not when (I also Tivo it)

Definitely not Tony Blair

..but he could do a video link from The Scrubs.

Would be more appropriate in The Hague's equivalent.

Richard, do you think the membership will easily vote for a remainer or is it more likely to be a coronation by MPs and no vote?

not easily (the membership is pro-brexit/eurosceptic overall)

as Gove is i think dead in the water already for being a complete c***, even by conservative standards, this is why Leadsom has a real chance if it gets to an a v b membership ballot

that said Theresa May has been assiduously working the rubber chicken circuit of constituency association dinners for years, up and down the country. Even if she stayed on the fence during the brexit debate, the members know she is barely remain and instinctively brexit and can reasonably claim to appeal to either side

She's also clean and the candidate most feared by Labour, so the gossip goes

which is why the most likely outcome is May wins, Leadsom (who comes from an economics/city background) chancellor and something like Gove home secretary.
