This where you come over all Socialist, Steve?

It could well be enough to drive me into Starmers arms…not quite sure that’s coming over all socialist though. I just think she’ll be shambles

Ps if you vote for Truss ahead of Sunak/Mordant I’m sticking you on ignore

Someone did a dirty protest on the ballot paper ?! Johnson ?

Still time for Sunak to miss out then. He's not picked up dramatically from his starting point.

Tory Membership are Batshit Latest:

I’m holding out hope that 775 isn’t a true representative sample size

Surely even their membership when they see her in action over an extended period would change their minds?

Can't even waffle pompously and pseudo intellectually like Johnson!

This really is why politicians are ultimately useless

If a zombie CEO was looking at power as the shareholders rather like them the Board would have a word and say they’d all resign and call a no confidence motion

No party on the planet should have ever elected Corbyn or should Truss but I guess I’ll enjoy the tax breaks for a couple of years - perhaps she can promise the SDP a referendum in 2025 and get them onside

He should be comfortably in the final two but they’ll be a massive Johnson gang push for members to vote Truss (who I think will get through). As I mentioned yesterday rumours that Patel and Wallace might come out in support of Truss either before tomorrows vote or if Truss gets to final two. Wallace would be big as he’s well thought of by members according to previous polling

I reckon the one spoiled paper was Truss.

 

[wingy]

Shame Sunak doesn't need more votes at this point.
Makes it easier to manipulate the remainder into either of the other two's camp I think.

She's buddying up with Roy Jenkins?!?

(Although tbf that is her background!)

 

[David O'Day]

Tugendhat votes broke more for Truss than Mordaunt, not looking good for Mordaunt now.

 

[Sick Boy]

We're going to end up with the Thatcher tribute act as PM aren't we

Yep, been saying it since the start.

Can’t see him picking up many from Badenoch, certainly not enough to lend Mordaunt a few.

Well you said it would be a coronation abs Sunak would stand down

 

[Sick Boy]

It still wouldn’t surprise me but regardless, I think it’ll end up being Truss.

 

[David O'Day]

She'll beat Sunak if she get's to the membership. If she does massive party in Labour HQ

Not that Sunak would be much better

Truss is so bad I don't even want her for a year or two before an election.

oh she'll be a disaster

 

[clint van damme]

So weird how a Remain voting former Lib Dem is the darling of the Tory right.

Will embolden the 2nd referendum brigade, (they're already saying if she can change her mind why can't everyone else).

Make Brexit the big(ger) issue again - maybe, just a guess.

It will be Brexit - The Ultimate Edition

She’ll be a puppet for Boris.

[David O'Day]

A puppet for the ERG more likely but they are equally stupid

Imagine her at PMQs

 

[shmmeee]

She’ll be a puppet for Boris.

Boris doesn’t care enough to have a puppet. Boris was the puppet.

Surely it'll all fall apart quicker than that?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

But the damage in the meantime could be great. And do you want her in charge of any crises coming up?

it's OK, she'll power dress and get her picture taken on a tank, that'll sort things.

It's a tricky one. But the country is already totally fucked so another year or so is probably worth it if it results in significant change for the better

Call me old fashioned, but I want to vote on competent leaders, and it be about policy and ideology.

Yeah, it’s been said by a couple of presenters on LBC tonight that he’s got his supporters voting for Truss as he’d rather face her than Mordant in final two.

Can understand where he’s coming from, from a personal perspective so would I if I was him (although disagree with tactical voting), but that’s a massive risk for the rest of us !

Surely, *surely* he makes mincemeat of her in any debate?!?

 

[PVA]

Well yes, but doesn't matter whether it's Truss or Johnson - the Tory leader is not competent.

Truss is utterly hopeless, but I don't see things being any worse under her than Johnson (can they get any worse!?).

So I'll happily trade a year of Truss for a significant positive change afterwards.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Sunak appears to be competent.

 

[CCFCSteve]

You’d think so but heard the voting papers are sent out before a lot of the hustings take place so loads could vote on current views…which is not good for Sunak !

Well what's the point of that?!?

They always surprised me - just when I think they can't find a worse leader...

 

[PVA]

Sunak appears to be competent.

Yes so he's more likely to win the next election than Truss!

And the country could really, really, do without another Tory government.

So I'll take a year of Truss in exchange for a Labour victory in the next election.
