DAVID Davis (pictured above) may be chosen to lead the Tory party, he'll never be chosen to lead the country.

He's grey from head to foot, with all the charisma of a sick worm. As for being ex SAS - SAS men keep a very low profile, they're top of too many terrorist hit lists. Good PR just not true, typically Tory.

Ken Clarke is the danger for Labour. Bags of energy and charisma, a great speaker with loads of experience. And while he may have gone cool on the EU, he's not daft enough to pull us out of this 21st century superpower.

Tory types are mean spirited, tiny minded, backward looking, xenophobic bigots. They don't deserve power ever again and will probably never again be given it.
