It will defo go to members vote, they’ve pretty much committed to it. I’m hoping debates might show truss up a bit. Won’t be happy is she wins but got a bad feeling

Like she hasn't shown herself up enough already?

I always thought the Conservative leadership election was better than Labours because it weeded out the nutters before the members got a chance to vote them in. Doesn't seem to be working quite like that recently!

They won’t do if they’re left with one candidate after others drop out, which wouldn’t surprise me.

I'd assume the likes of Sunak would want to go to a vote though. Truss ain't really an upgrade on Johnson after all, is she?

 

[Grendel]

I reckon so too - I also expect that it won’t even get to a members’ vote.

It will definitely go to that - Sunak will have significant votes from the party

Let’s see!

Let’s see!

I can’t see Sunak or Mordaunt dropping out for Truss so I can’t see how it can’t go to the members. Sunak is almost at the 120 needed to be guaranteed on the ballot.

There was some promise made on petrol/diesel cars by 2030 I think. It’s too little too late really, the US and China between them will dwarf whatever small contribution we make.

Im actually optimistic on China. US is entirely dependent on them not going mad every four years which looks unlikely.

The Mail is unhinged. It makes me laugh it goes on about snowflakes and alarmism, whens it’s actually the embodiment of both.

I would ride Penny Mordaunt into battle!

The right have decided they want Truss so that's probably who we'll get.

As Tony said above, good for the opposition but bad for the country.

She will be an absolute farce. In a different way to Johnson was, but a farce all the same.

Any of them with a progressive policy on climate change by any chance? No, I didn't think so. Not important enough, let's just stick to the tax cuts and culture wars nonsense.

She’s a pound shop Boris Johnson without any charisma and without the ability to lie with enough confidence that at least some people will buy it when in a corner.

Related to Angela Lansbury (and therefore George Lansbury) and the first Labour Chancellor, so there’s some decency in the genes somewhere.

Equally disturbing is the lying for power, and also the fact Andrea Leadsom might end up chancellor.

Much as the last leadership election, I'm in the frightening position of hoping a candidate I'd have considered too right before it all kicked off wins, for the sake of all sanity.

Let's at least go back to the days where we protested about how the country's run financially!

In the context of the alternatives so am I. She’s the best that the Tories have to offer since the intelligence purge of 2019 that’s for sure.

Sunak going full Brent

He's been reading up my answers to interview questions, hasn't he

Sunak going full Brent

And they could go ‘oh Rishi you were the best Chancellor we ever had and it really brought the country relief during difficult economic times’, but they don’t.

Yes it's exactly the sort of rubbish some people come out with at interviews. Puts me off them massively.

You need to look on Mumsnet. This is an absolutely massive issue.

Mumsnet isn't the uk in general though, most people when polled including tory members don't really care

I would have thought a hard man supporter of the IRA wouldn't really be into Mumsnet but then again you've got form when it comes to pretending you're something you're not, Tracy.

I'm not you thick c**t, Otis is one one mentioning something on Mumsnet and I said Mumsnet is not the UK.

For a former teacher you really are a thick c**t who struggles to read aren't you.

Pretty much 50% of the population are women and women seem to be very up in arms about it all.

Most aren't though, there's a few people being very loud about it on a website. In the same way that twitter is not representative about what the world thinks Mumsnet is not representative of what most women think.

When this question is reported on and looked into the vast majority are of the "live and let live what's that got to do with me" view
