Surely we could rig up some sort of video link? They managed that for Rolf Harris.

Tories will bluff it out for a bit, pick a different 'leader', have another go and scrape a win without their special friends' public assistance.

First bit: is what they're doing now.
Second bit: when d'ya think that'll happen and who's gonna want to face a firing squad?
Third bit: NEVER going to happen! Another election within 24 months and the dipsticks are OUT!

I wonder how the meeting's going?
A little like a Christmas get together with family members you've never really got on with, i presume.

Many years ago, there was a Radio 4 phone-in about endowment mortgages - a bloke rang in with query about whether or not he should follow his provider's advice to make increased payments. One of the advisors, reluctant to offer specific advice, said "The people who get you into a situation are rarely the best people to get you out of it".

Always worth remembering.

...and those that tell you they are the best person, are usually not in it for the/your greater good.
