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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

Well, we had May, Hammond.... And Johnson was the closest they could get to Clarkson!
Seriously, I hope she knows what she's doing employing this clown. I'm of the mind that the best place for clowns is the circus.
