The Right of the party would probably want Jacob Rees Mogg (who I confess to liking a lot, without actually agreeing with his position on most things besides Brexit) but he'll infuriate the centrists. Boris and Gove are surely too tainted by now to be serious candidates. More likely it'll be a 'safe pair of hands' like David Davies or Michael Fallon. Although I can't see either of them as long term options: more like caretaker leaders, in place to oversee the Brexit negotiations before a more long-term candidate emerges.
Problem then is, whoever's chosen, it'll almost inevitably lead to another general election, if only cos they'll want to dissolve their coalition with the DUP asap.

Kin Jacob "I'll go canvassing with my nanny" Mogg? Jeez man, have a word! If there's a leadership change before the negotiations begin then it really is an omnishambles.
The more I read about it the more fucking angry I am about the whole debacle. Fact is they're gonna go into negotiations with the EU with zero leverage. They're gonna get laughed out the building no matter what they say. Worst bit is the only people who get fucked over in the long run is the public.
"No deal is better is better than a bad deal"? prick
All Labour can do atm is play the waiting game for the next elections.
AAANNNNDDD breathe.
