Ladbrokes have announced their odds on the next Tory leader who could, of course, become de facto Prime Minister, with or without the encumbrance of a General Election ('ANOTHER ONE??').
I won't quote their odds, as (a) I've not got them to hand and (b) why should I encourage gambling?, but I understand they have the following jockeying for position:-
Boris Johnson
Michael Gove
Andrea Leadsom
Amber Rudd
Jacob Rees-Mogg
Philip Hammond
David Davis
Gavin Williamson
Hope I've not left any out. Liam Fox presumably wasn't included because no trace of any support could be found, but that won't stop him putting his name forward, such is his ego.
The intensely ambitious R-M appears to be the early front runner, followed by the even more intensely ambitious Blond Buffoon. The Daily Telegraph are doing their damnedest to scupper Williamson on behalf of Boris, so they must fear him most!
So place your metaphorical bets please: in theory, a certain JC should be able to beat any of this lot in a national race, but he would, of course, be choosing to run with blinkers on, so might well not get the prize.
