Smirks, smugness and self-love will not deter predominantly rightwing, old, white and male voters in Tory contest, writes Martin Kettle

Tuesday night’s televised debate on ITV between Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson is the only chance the public will get to see the two candidates to succeed Theresa May argue their points head-to-head. But it won’t change anything.

Having suffered with a series of qualified candidates, try something different

We the people should vote for a prime minister not just a tiny % of idiots 😡

160,000 people who are members of a private club get to decide the leader of an entire country of 66 million. Let that sink in.

Wrong. I find J Hunt's accent and demeanor is too pompous. You have to inspire, be positive, instill hope and unity in a nation that has been pulled apart by this issue. He disdains Russia, and will not be a pushover for Trump. No deal? No $$$, EU

Anyone who votes for Boris must be related to those who voted for Trump!

Martin Kettle from the Pravda thinks Diane Abbott would be a better PM than Boris Johnson. FakeNews

Another negative extremist trying to justify his existence, just another chocolate Kettle.

Putin picks the same personalities...they will do it for power/money and in return loyalty to Putin.

He will join the other dope across the pond.

He’ll win the vote, because voters are lemmings easily fooled by charisma. Can’t believe that the UK is going to join the US into electing such an obvious mistake.

only modern times? not of all time?

Rubbish! You are an appalling 'newspaper'. No; not even that; you are a mere lefty PR machine. Doh.

That's all good. He will deliver whatever he will. First and foremost. Brexit. Please.. Vote for him and then end of story.. No deal and out. Happy seeing him deliver that. He can cuddle with his twin Donny And the British people already voted twice for brexit. Therefor out now

🤣

The verb is “to eviscerate”, not “to evisKerate”, as Boris pronounces it. He’s an odd fellow Boris.

“ Alexa “ . . “ who will be the next UK P M “ . . . .one minute later . .” Sorry we are experiencing an overload of callers for the NHS “ . . .” We are still collecting UK data “ . . . “ Please call later “

Says the local arm of the communist propaganda network. God imagine what a bunch of entitled victim obsessed twats must work there.

Says .......... the guardian

BorisJohnson has already clearly explained his intent should he lose to Jeremy_Hunt not for him the innocuous back benches and public office without the perks an media attention he is off to make 'loads of money'

These two are a national embarrassment 😔 Dark days ahead my friends😔

But he is qualified. He’s an old Etonian.

America’s response to Brexit was “hey UK! Hold my beer, watch this, we are going to elect trump The UK is now like oh yeah, hold this keg I’ve been pounding straight from the tap! we’re going to get BorisJohnson to make brexit happen and run our country! What a joke!

I'm sure he doesn't actually believe his bumbling scruffy-haired HIGNFY schtick is going to win over the EU. As shown tonight, his tired old bull**** serves him well in UK. He'd rather be Leader of the Opposition than MP. The EU will send him back with his b*lls in a sling. 😂

The entitlement and arrogance of his class are his qualifications

You said that the last two times

More balanced views from the lefty rag. Very transparent.

the yanks elect an imbecile, the UK says hold my pint

Pobreza en conocimiento 😔😔😔😔😕😕😕

Hey,good people of Britain? Look no further than our own IDIOTINCHIEF

The Guardian has its opinions on it's headlines now.. lol..

I am amazed that he has come that far.

Yikes. This is all we need...scary times

Way to whitewash the far right, NHS wrecking sociopath that is Jeremy Cnut. I am done with the Guardian's morally vacant lesser evilism. Pathetic.

It’s as though Trump has started a trend.

Wedged between a rock and a hard place

Boris Johnson does not understand diversity.

Apparently, UK does not need a new Prime Minister, it needs a Chief Joke, and there’s no better candidate than Boris Johnson. Here’s why:

new_number_2

Actually Corbyn wins that one but fortunately he won’t ever see no.10 so I guess that’s a moot point

A disaster in the making! I despair for us all.

It's the Guardian, only beaten our by the BBC in the UK for being full of shit.... But regarding Boris, he'll do well in the position before Nigel_Farage takes over with the brexitparty_uk in May.Then we'll see both the conservative and the antisemitic party disappear. .

🐂 💩

What a load of old tosh, yet I assume the writer believes the idiot Corbyn would be brilliant for this country

As was Trump for the US !

Trump protege' another blithering IDIOT with blond locs.... Praying for UK bc Putin done played both Countries USA and GB 'SOLD!' to the Russians Brexit was another planned event to seek, divide, and destroy democracy.

Tho canning HS2 & Heathrow is fine tbh.

More bullsh** than answers

He was the major of London so this headline is just going to cause more dispute than it’s worth but good luck w your advertisers and stuff

Yes darlings he was like a little boy mumbling and complaining without actually saying anything. Mr Hunt was only fractionally better.

He’s a moron-tbf Jeremy Hunt is clearly no better...

Dude can't even brush his hair.
