[IanDavies]

£1,786 trying to back Mordaunt at 4.2.

Wolf has gone, as expected.

Rishi still not at 120; Penny hanging on in second place but Truss will be looking to attract the Wolf votes tomorrow.

[IanDavies]

Sunak: 101>115->118
Mordaunt: 83>82>92
Truss: 64>71>86
—-
Badenoch: 49>58>59

Concur with Gladders and have said this previously – Mordaunt needed all the Tungendhat votes really and hard to see how she fends off Truss when the Badenoch votes are up for grabs tomorrow.

Surely only tactical manoeuvres from the Sunak team – if they’d rather face Mordaunt than Truss in the postal vote – can save Mordaunt now.

Truss now odds on to be leader.

Value Is Everything

[IanDavies]

2.1 Truss, 2.42 Sunak, 8.6 Mordaunt.

An alternative view, Chezza: the Conservatives exist to win elections; even the most deranged far right Tory must know that Truss would make an abysmal leader and that Mordaunt would stand a far better chance against Labour. Sunak will be forever associated with Bozo’s government and dodgy tax issues, as well as labelled as out of touch with the common man.

So maybe the party gets behind Penny, purely to give them the best chance of winning the next GE.

[IanDavies]

That, Gladders, will take a significant number of Tory MPs getting behind Mordaunt tomorrow, at a time when Truss has the momentum, having picked up far more Tungendhat votes than commentators predicted.

I wouldn’t rule it out entirely, but I can see why Mordaunt is now the outsider of three.

It would be hilarious, though, not least because of The Mail’s hate campaign against her.

There’s enough time once the final two is decided for enough of the membership to come to their senses (i.e. look at polling results) and see that Sunak is by far the most palatable option to the wider electorate.

[IanDavies]

If Mordaunt loses out by one vote tomorrow all Hell will break loose over Tobias Elwood losing the Whip.

Mind you, it would mean a dead-heat – what happens then?

Simples

A man with a stick and a detachable carrot that creates growth.

Best line ..

“Back me I’m the smart one the principled one, and the realist who resigned, and I know you don’t like the continuing pain and there are few Peloton masochists out there like me, but I can at least make you feel good as I make you pedal harder and your pennies drop out ”

( A chant starts – We love the pain – MORE MORE )

A past actress with a convincing remake of the Taming of the Shrew.

Best Line

” Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more “!

( Cheering in the aisles – WE LOVE LIZ )

A magician’s assistant that has cast a strange spell on the populace at large

Best Line(s) ”

“Now I’m no longer doubtful
Of what I’m livin’ for
It’s just to PM you
And if I make you happy
I don’t need to do more
‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman) ”

Hankies come out
THEY’RE ALL CRYING
SHE’S LIKE JOAN OF ARC !
JOAN JOAN !!!

The odds are all wrong

They’re all JOLLIES

[IanDavies]

I almost, but not quite, feel sorry for Mordaunt and if she won the deserved embarrassment for The Daily Mail would be highly entertaining.

Sunak would be the sensible choice, though I don’t much fancy the anti-inflationary economic policy he’d impose.

Truss is the “Whoops, Apocalyse!” outcome.

I’d call her Poundland Thatcher, but I always thought Thatcher was Poundland Human Being, so God only knows what someone no else right wing but definitely less intelligent (and Thatcher was no genius) would be like.

If Starmer couldn’t at least get more seats than Truss in a hung Parliament, he might as well give up the game.

Liz Truss as PM would be a penalty kick for Labour.

She’s not everyone cup of Earl Grey, but I rather like Beth Rigby, she serves it up to all of them and she’s always thinking the worst (usually correctly) of everyone: https://t.co/R3hXHXftqE

In the studio tonight
we have the minister for climate change Mr Skeleton.

Might I ask you first Mr Skeleton why the government’s policy has failed.

” Yes I’ll stand up – take a look at me ”

” Well certainly there’s not much to see – but could you clarify in words what exactly went wrong ?”

” We simply left it far too late 💀 ”

Could you expand on that somewhat ?

In the year 2022
that was the year we
first really knew
It was in the year 2025
that was the year
we Englanders fried !

“Well that’s history but the question many are now asking is – is it too late ?”

“My wife has told me so !”

[He Didnt Like Ground]

You really to point at the Tories and laugh , it’s akin to me going into my work and I thinking up new ways to annoy and allinate our customers just to make sure I lose my job …. new leader , yeah let’s go with Truss she,s unelectable , saying that I’m looking forward to see Sunaks face when he loses in the party vote

Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

[He Didnt Like Ground]

Anyone remember the episode in The young ones were Ric asks ” hands up who likes me ” and the guys thrust there hands down ….. That’s the Tories with Sunak shortly , that’s one of my fav episodes Inc Mayall’s ” people poet” speech while he tries to overdose … on laxatives , so sad he’s gone , can only imagine a series of The New Statesman about this last few years …

“In the year 2022

first really knew”

Try 1856.

That was when the first scientific paper showing that carbon dioxide heats the climate was published.
