Rory Stewart is the only serious threat to Boris Johnson – and the TV debate proved it

If you were to judge it by the response of the studio audience, Channel 4’s debate had only one winner. Rory Stewart got more rounds of applause than any other candidate – and, at the end, when each took turns to sum up, he was the only candidate to get a round of applause at all.

MichaelPDeacon The TV debate proved nothing! Non are fit to Govern this country

christopherhope MichaelPDeacon Err no, not among Leave voters he isn't, only among luvvies, remoaners and bubble dwellers.

christopherhope MichaelPDeacon Rory Stewart is only a serious threat to heavy garbage bins and Brexit. He’s not fit to be the Number 10 milkman.

MichaelPDeacon Roderick you mean. Roderick is the idiot's real name.

MichaelPDeacon The Telegraph, which pays Johnson, is promoting Stewart. I wonder why?

MichaelPDeacon Corbyn v Stewart would be more of problem for Labour imo Johnson widely disliked out in country

MichaelPDeacon This is the third such article today. Enough.

MichaelPDeacon Nobody who cannot accept NoDeal is any threat to anyone. IdiotRory

MichaelPDeacon If you believe that you believe in Unicorns . LOL

MichaelPDeacon It should not be a surprise to learn that the Channel 4 'audience ' was hand picked. (a) they had to be Labour voters and (b) Want to remain in the EU. Its also an old BBC trick.

MichaelPDeacon He isn’t he’s a remainer who’s against a no deal which in terms of a general election for the Tory’s makes him toxic 🤔🔥🤡

MichaelPDeacon Getting cheap laughs he's a clown.

MichaelPDeacon 🤣🤣🤣🤣 go back to school reporting you don’t have a clue in the real world

MichaelPDeacon He's the establishment candidate as they know he would bring in Jeremy Corbyn and Brexit wouldn't be delivered. I'd love him to win it as the Tories would be sunk in to oblivion and Brexit Party would then get the opportunity to deliver what we voted for

MichaelPDeacon He is a threat to both BJ and the Tory party. He will run to the central ground where vote share will be split between libs/greens and lab. Whilst the larger centrifugal mass ofBritish Politics swings towards the Brexit Party.

christopherhope MichaelPDeacon Oh yeah, because the Leave supporting membership of the Tory Party (vast,vast majority), are going to support the candidate who wants to push through May's discredited WA on the backs of Labour votes, and destroy trust in politics, and the Party and hand No.10 to Corbyn. 👏👏👏

christiancalgie MichaelPDeacon Remind me, how many votes did he get in the first round?

MichaelPDeacon Realistically I think Rory is probably going to be the next Tory leader after Boris.

christopherhope MichaelPDeacon The greatest threat to Johnson is Johnson as you'll find out if you elect a leader untested with the public

MichaelPDeacon Rory is not. Loses his temper to quick I belive he’s not a nice man to be MP let alone PM , he despise Boris that’s obvious off he’s a H Remainer so not fit t be PM . We will bring Tories down and our , Brexit Party is Waiting and will win Massively as long as no V Rigging

MichaelPDeacon We've suffered enough. The last thing we need is a nutty remainer.

MichaelPDeacon Well tell the overpaid buffoon BorisJohnson who writes a column for you to stop being such a yellow belly and face the challengers. Gutless fool c4debate Boris ToryLeadershipContest

MichaelPDeacon he might know where some bodies are buried at eton too

MichaelPDeacon Rory Stewart is a double of Theresa May, if he been selected we will be back where we start again, Brexit mean Brexit, another clue Theresa May supported him

MichaelPDeacon Florence of Arabia? Yeah right

Opinion: Rory Stewart puts the other TV debate Tory challengers in the binThe rank outsider was the winner tonight, but the problem with his message is that it comes close to saying that Brexit cannot be done – that may be too much honesty for the Conservative Party and the country He embarrassed himself as usual. Hes got more change of being PM than I have. He’s comedy gold though Was the sea too polluted to put them in? It may sound out of tune & perhaps bitter but the minute the lead vocalist of a group becomes the face of a group inevitably the rest of the lads in it become the backing group. It's sad that Boris was not present at the debate; however, it occurred to me it was done on purpose!

Boris Johnson’s capacity to deal with EU questioned by Tory rival as frontrunner ducks TV debateRory Stewart accuses rivals of ‘machismo’ for claiming they are tough enough to get a better Brexit He ducks because he's a quack. These feckfaces are just not up to it. Boris Johnson is the clear leader. Whether he shows or not is immaterial. These insipid , inadequate, useless dickheads, particularly Hunt, Javid and Stewart are just excuses for politicians and for human beings. They are useless.
