Thread has been dead since January why bother reviving it..... errrrr oops OK Penny Mordaunt cos she is sexy.
Very sensible. He's going to "Get on with the Job".Ben Wallace rules himself out of the leadership bid.
He was favourite in a poll I saw yesterday.Ben Wallace rules himself out of the leadership bid.
Agree, but I’m reckoning on little Sunak, although whoever it is, it’s just another Tory to me.He was favourite in a poll I saw yesterday.
Shame because he’s one of the better of a very bad lot.
Saw that the other day.This is my favourite!
You've misunderstood the two basic qualifications to be a candidate. You have to be (a) a member of the Conservative Party and (b) a Tory Member of Parliament in the House of Commons. Angela Rayner, despite being desperate to stand, is precluded on these grounds.People will keep voting for the best candidate as they always have. What is needed is the standard of candidates to be raised. One of the papers this morning is leading on whether Angela Rayner's lack of understanding of the English language and grammar should prevent her being a candidate for leadership. How low have the standards become when this even needs to be discussed? Surely there are good, honest leaders in this country who can speak English correctly.
And Nadhim ZahawiGrant Schapps now confirmed as a candidate so that is another 3 contenders on list.
And Nadhim Zahawi
Is he standing as Grant Shapps or Michael Green?I'm going for Grant Shapps, He has 3 Shredded Wheat for breakfast eats 2 and puts the other on his head.....
So let’s pin this down, who do you want to win, and who do you think will win out of this lot.
Rishi - brought down Johnson
Liz - shallow
Nadhim - shady
Sajid - see Rishi
Suella - brilliant and terrifying
Grant - lacks substance
Kemi - who?
Tom - short on ideas
Jeremy - why did you fail to prepare the country for the Covid pandemic Mr Hunt?
Priti - not running AFAIK
Penny - see Suella
Hope she wins.Suella Braverman is another official candidate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suella_Braverman
Looking at her biography, she'll drive the leftists absolutely mental.
But I thought the Tories and their supporters were all Nazis ?Interesting that when Liz and Penny throw their hats in the ring, there will be 5 white contenders out of 10. Shows the multi national demographics of the Conservative party and the country, especially the capital of course
No! Not Nazis, NASTY!But I thought the Tories and their supporters were all Nazis ?
Oh stop it, the Left on here are about as nasty as it gets. Oh and fake.No! Not Nazis, NASTY!
…and you don’t think Labour has the same on their MPs.Just another normal day in the Tory party.
Dirty dossiers on S&M and affairs as Tory rivals turn on each other
No sooner had Boris Johnson announced his resignation last week after a series of scandals rocked Downing Street than the fresh mud-slinging begun.The bitter cwww.thetimes.co.uk
I would doubt that Labour would provide info on their own MPs to the Tories.…and you don’t think Labour has the same on their MPs.
It’s common practice to collate information and use it to persuade an MP when they don’t want to vote the party way.
It’s not new and it goes on right across the house.
Cruella?Suella Braverman is another official candidate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suella_Braverman

Keep up son. That discussion was six months ago and on a different subject.You've misunderstood the two basic qualifications to be a candidate. You have to be (a) a member of the Conservative Party and (b) a Tory Member of Parliament in the House of Commons. Angela Rayner, despite being desperate to stand, is precluded on these grounds.
It's blue on blue internecine warfare, the media are just reporting on it. In fact, one attack came from 10 Downing Street - hardly a media conspiracy.So, the media have switched their direction of attack from Boris to Rishi because he is the candidate the left fear most. What a surprise.
I’m thinking now, best hope this country has for the future is at the next GE Labour has to enter a grace and favour agreement with the Libs and the Greens and they push through PR
Then we can have a more centralist coalition going forward with all spectrums reflected and a balanced government
The last decade has been a joke with poor leadership and even more woeful opposition
She was thrown out of the Labour Party and is officially an independent.I think some on here have forgotten how many Labour MPs are under investigation for a litany of problems, oh and don’t forget the one who still sits in parliament after threatening to throw acid in someone’s face. HYPOCRISY at its finest again.

Dossiers of misdemeanors are being passed to Labour MPs, this could go on and on.
Dossiers are being passed to Labour MPs by Conservative MPs to undermine other candidates in the race. This is what has been reported. Internecine political warfare.You say that dossiers of tory misdemeanours are being passed to Labour MPs by the media, which has clearly been the case since the present government was elected in 2019. You also say that the media are just reporting, which is clearly not the case. The media's job is to report, not to undermine selected targets in pursuit of their political aspirations.
Do you ever read the Daily Mail?. The job of the journalists there is to convince the public that the world view of the owners and editor is the truth.You say that dossiers of tory misdemeanours are being passed to Labour MPs by the media, which has clearly been the case since the present government was elected in 2019. You also say that the media are just reporting, which is clearly not the case. The media's job is to report, not to undermine selected targets in pursuit of their political aspirations.
Spent an evening in his company through work, came across as an absolute tit. Though was 10 years ago, so maybe he's now not an absolute tit.I'm going for Grant Shapps, He has 3 Shredded Wheat for breakfast eats 2 and puts the other on his head.....
Given he was a tit, did you grope him?Spent an evening in his company through work, came across as an absolute tit. Though was 10 years ago, so maybe he's now not an absolute tit.
Agree. Arguments against PR include the fact that minority parties end up with a disproportionate amount of say and agreeing a consensus becomes more difficult. But frankly, the degree of ineptitude and shadiness (spesh of late) displayed over the last 10 years means a single party can't be trusted anymore. But on basis of turkeys and Xmas can't see Labour progressing that. Hope I'm wrong.I’m thinking now, best hope this country has for the future is at the next GE Labour has to enter a grace and favour agreement with the Libs and the Greens and they push through PR

Groping was not the principal urge he generated......Given he was a tit, did you grope him?
Yes, I noticed when I read back through it. Even I had contributed early doors!Keep up son. That discussion was six months ago and on a different subject.
Could be a late entry, coming up on the rails. Her policies will be to suspend all benefits and redistribute to those on incomes above £100k. In this way she’ll claim she’s forcing these scroungers into work.Ugly Petal is a bit quiet at the moment.
Is she, or her huge arse going to be a candidate.
That's really be scraping the bottom. ugh.
She should get a few thumbs up on here then!Could be a late entry, coming up on the rails. Her policies will be to suspend all benefits and redistribute to those on incomes above £100k. In this way she’ll claim she’s forcing these scroungers into work.
