Johnson & Sunak

He actually recoiled when he realised what he had said!

I would make Sunak one of the favourites with party members but don't know if he will survive the MP's ballots to make it to the last two. Depends how they view his resignation that brought about the beginning of the end for Boris.

If he does get to be leader, I sadly think he would beat the Labour Party at a general election as things stand. He seems to have that squeaky clean cut image that voters fall for and was quite popular among the public during lockdown. He didn't really have to work too hard to come across as more competent than the other morons he was stood with in those dark days.

Of course, he's just another in a long line of entitled, power hungry ar$eholes who wants to carry on the Tory tradition of telling the poor they have to keep tightening their belts, while they live in the lap of luxury. He is on another planet financially, which is apt because he looks like Spock. He also attended the illegal parties but didn't resign over that, the fooking hypocrite.

The people will keep voting for them, believing that they actually care about us. I am, and always have been, totally baffled why working people think that voting for these sorts of people will enrich their lives somehow.

I'm also baffled at the misconception that the Tories are the only safe party to run the economy, which seems to stem from the fact that most of them are stinking rich.

He's an oily sh1t, like the rest of them.

It’s looking like Sunak v Truss.

And given Rishi Sunak is the only candidate so far who isn’t promising fantasy economics and irresponsible and unfounded tax cut promises he will lose.

Liz Truss as PM would be the dream outcome for the Labour Party.

Mordaunt is apparently making some strides and is now 2nd favourite behind Sunak.

I'd rather we have a GE, I've not been a Labour supporter since Keir became leader but anything is better than the disgraceful Tories. Also Liar Nici would be ousted sooner.

I might be wrong but I think there’s very little chance of Tory MPs putting Penny Mordaunt into the final 2. It’s looking like a Sunak v Truss stitch up.

Don’t be surprised if the final vote doesn’t go to the Tory members. If one candidate get 55% or more of the MPs votes in the final round of voting I’d expect the 2nd placed candidate to withdraw.

Funny things happen in these races once candidates started getting knocked out. All kinds of offers and deals to move support so I wouldn't write off Mordaunt. A Truss win might be good for the prospects of a Labour win at the election but it will be a long 2 years!

The fact that somebody as apparently dim as Truss is one of the favourites due to having less obvious baggage than Sunak shows the paucity of the options available.

May was wooden as they come and wholly unsuited to the role of PM, but I don't think anybody could claim she didn't have some sort of a reasonable intellect about her and she might have been a pretty vicious Home Secretary due to her political leanings, but she certainly had a grasp of the requirements of the job.

All evidence available seems to indicate that Truss would struggle to think her way out of a paper bag. And she's a complete plank as well.

And now Nadim Zahawi has said he'll publish his tax returns each year if he becomes PM.

However, he doesn't think that retrospectively publishing his returns for the past 10 years is necessary because, well, that's all in the past, isn't it?

Nothing at all to do with offshore funds and the like, I'm sure.

I’m sure I read that Truss is using the strapline ‘deliver, deliver, deliver’. FFS…..apart from being absolutely crass (who makes this cr@p up?), she’s being promoted as someone with a ‘track record of delivering’. Yet another delve into the post truth Tory dystopia with yet another gaslight for the British public. Can someone please show me what Truss has ‘delivered’ in her govt roles? She doesn’t know where the Black Sea is, as Foreign minister, and, in my view, is so utterly dim, she’d struggle to deliver you a pizza to the correct address.
