Two things are keeping Mrs May in office, fear of a Corbyn Marxist government and lack of an alternative PM..The solution to the latter problem is DD. He is experienced in all areas of government,his integrity is unquestioned, people trust him and like him.Can you say that of any of the other potential Tory leaders, Hammond Hancock etc all slimy Tories of the worst self seeking type.
Just heard Farage saying this as well. Del Young and I used to say we knew what Farage would say before he himself knew it. The leopard has not changed his spots.

What happened to Del Young? He should have become a UKIP MEP and I guess didn't because Farage was jealous of him.
Spot on Mr Fairfax. Any one of talent in UKIP was smeared by the Farage place seeking sycophants and forced out. So when Farage went to his new media career there was no one left except talentless sycophants Gerard Batten excepted
" I don't have to be very clever. I don't have to know that much. I just have to be calm..." David Davis, as reported in Daily Telegraph 11 Dec 2017 .
Well, he certainly displayed the truth of the first two statements in the next month. He was complaining that the EU was " making" the UK a " third country" ( that is one outside the EU) just a year after Mrs May had demanded that status in her Lancaster House speech.
Traditionally our world-beating civil service is supposed to cover for ministers who are not too bright but Davis bypassed the highly paid brains of his 400 plus underlings and showed his lack of capacity for all the world to see. Google " Edward Spalton The United Kingdom as a Third Country" for the full story . Come to think of it, an office junior could have looked it up for him.
Well before her Lancaster House speech Mrs May should have been advised of all the consequences of her policy. Sir Ivan Rogers, our highly experienced Ambassador to the EU, resigned. In his farewell letter to colleagues, he urged them to " speak truth to power" - especially when the truth was unwelcome - but it seems to have remained either unspoken of unheeded, leaving Mr Davis in his insulated ignorance - even with four hundred or so top brains at his disposal.
Unflappability is a useful quality when accompanied by keen strategic and tactical awareness but not when it arises from ignorance and passivity.
I agree 100% with you Edward and that anyone should even contemplate DD for PM is beyond rational comprehension.
The man flunked it against Cameron and has achieved little of consequence since or before for that matter.
During his time as Brexit Secretary he found time to visit the Edinburgh Festival and be interviewed by Alex Salmond and took a couple of swipes at his own PM.
He is yesterdy's man and typifies all that is wroing with our politicians - who are mostly arrogant, ignorant fools.
