Braverman out and Tugendhat hanging by a thread.
Sunak still out front but Mordaunt makes some ground.
There's a school of thought that the Tories want a new face and that new face is Mordaunt.

You'd have to think that Braverman ought to have just about peaked with that total. There are a lot of dim Tory MPs, but there surely can't be too many who are seriously dim enough to think she would make a competent PM. Zahawi too much baggage with the current offshore investigations (and questions about offshoring may do for Sunak as well).
Surprised that Hunt was booted at the first round because he always seemed one of the more reasonable candidates. Probably too reasonable for Tory MPs, or perhaps he's just not curried favour with enough of them?
I suppose Tugendhat is the 'reasonable' candidate along with Mordaunt - noticeable that neither has much of a record of doing anything in government so they aren't linked with failure yet.
I think the Tory MPs see any women candidates as potential vote-winners, because they can make a lot of noise about Labour never having a female leader. You'd have to think this is why so many utterly unsuitable female candidates are in the race, despite the fact that Tory MPs have a 4:1 male/female ratio.
It would be interesting to see how the Tory membership voted if given the choice between a white and a non-white candidate. Suspect we might not have the opportunity to find out this time if they try and stitch up Sunak. The fact that the Daily Heil is so much against him indicates something.
A diverse array of flat-earthers, their new electoral strategy?

Ch4,total embarrassment.
Rishi Sunak - Pinocchio - the wood carving who wants to be a real boy
Liz Truss - Poor Thatcher cover act
Tom Tugendhat - Toy soldier
Kemi Badenoch - Sociopath
Penny Mordaunt - Theresa reanimated
Verdict: We're in trouble.

For the benefit of the tape, you’re saying that shïtshow was embarrassing, not C4 itself. You’re not Dorries in disguise? 😁

Didn’t know much about Kemi Badenoch before that but she was useless. Barely knew what she was talking about virtually all the time.

Badenoch out (which is good because she's completely nutso), but still looks as though we'll be having another female PM before too long. The fact that Sunak is favourite among MPs counts for nowt with the Tory electorate.
So, a choice of the utterly useless Truss or the utterly invisible Mordaunt. Yeesh.
Meanwhile, in Labour land, Starmer has unilaterally talked Labour out of entering a coalition with any party regardless of the state of the nation at the next election. This, despite the fact that, even with the Tories shitness, it will be almost impossible for gain a majority because of the SNPs domination in Scotland. Minority governments always do really well, don't they, Keir? Pillock.

Liz Truss 1/1 (outright) 1/5 ( final two) Rishi Sunak 11/8 1/66 Penny Mordaunt 7/1 3/1

The thought that Liz Truss could be the Prime Minister is astonishing.
The right wing of the party is going to get her over the line.
Think I'd rather have Boris than her.

YouGov had a poll out today showing Badenoch would have beaten any of the contenders with the electorate! Though whether that was just Zahawi throwing his weight around to fiddle the polls, I don't know. Wouldn't put it past him.
