Tory leadership

I'd be happy with that, or even Boris join Reform.

Even better

For me, there's only one hope left and that is for Boris Johnson to return, possibly with Liz Truss as deputy.

I like to start the day with a laugh and you have succeeded.

Dealing with a Russian woman whose husband was a minister in Putin's government look terrible.

She's British

Patel would have been the best bet for the conservatives in opposition IMO because she doesn't take prisoners is a Brexiteer and would have given Starmer nightmares
Badenoch has some potential but the rest of them may as well be wearing a red rosette .As I alluded in the OP , the conservatives are throwing votes at Reform in their choice for a new leader.

Badenoch is probably the most promising because she's intelligent and able to change.  Patel couldn't manage a piss up in a brewery and is known to be both dishonest and a bully.  In short as leader would make any party unelectable.

I think she is more associated with the right of the Tory party rather than the social democrat side of it . Nothing to do with the personalities . Which by the way is a good look for that side of the conservative party

It is a very bad look, though, also associated with Boris Johnson.

Well yes but seems she's spoilt all that by giving money to that eternal shambles and too often bully Patel who was always the worst of a sus bunch in that election.

Seems like a decent enough person as are most Russians if the ones I've met are anything to go by .She has also publicly supported Ukraine  and given millions to the conservatives over the years . I think you are barking up the wrong tree with this one Papa

As prime ministers appoint MPs to more than 100 different government and parliamentary positions — secretaries of state, senior ministers, junior ministers, parliamentary secretaries, etc, etc, etc — it looks like almost every one of the Tory 121 MPs is likely to be on a promise from one or more of the candidates in return for their vote...

Your right about that Posty but this is the big boys table , you are not going to drop out without a the promise of a (shadow) cabinet post from your nominated candidate . The secret of course is nominating the winner so if it happens it may give a clue as to the direction of travel

Well it doesn't matter now , shes out .

Looks that is good thing.
