Very few MPs have declared for him, so his chances of making the final two look slim. Sunak has clearly been prepared for a long time.
Cork. Boris’s ratings before he went were off the scale rotten. For all your dislike of media and Westminster bubble, they knew him and they were emphatically proved right
Ben Wallace NR.
Sunak price collapse and now 2.62.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I think (not believe) that Tony Benn used to drink in the same pub as Enoch Powell
Benn was teetotal and Powell strikes me as an unlikely type to inhabit pubs, though they did reportedly have a friendly respect for one another
Another example perhaps of the hard left meeting the far right on the ideological circumference
Someone rather aptly described choosing the next Tory leader as being akin to choosing the least rancid toilet at the Glastonbury Festival. With that proviso my choice would be Sunak, and I would like to see Tom Tugendhat, Tobias Ellwood, Alicia Kearns and Caroline Nokes brought into the cabinet; and it almost goes without saying see Patel, Dorries and Truss given the boot. There should also be many of the more junior positions in government given to the ‘red wall’ intake of 2019
I was up in glorious Perthshire last week when all this tawdry malarkey was unfolding and the general attitude of the locals was one of eye-rolling mirth; and who could blame them
That economic genius Nadhim Zahawi has now thrown his hat into the ring.
“… the former education secretary and vaccines minister, has pledged to lower taxes for individuals, families and business”
I don’t suppose that he’s capable of working out that less income via taxation means either increased government borrowing or the entire dereliction of any government’s fundamental duty, which is to protect all of its citizens.
Shapps, Braverman. Some of these are comedy gold. Who next? Gavin Williamson? Chris Grayling?
Almost a big enough field for extended places each-way – definitely a Class 6 Handicap, though.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Part of me wants Liz Truss to throw her hat into the ring. Does she have a chance of becoming leader? Surely she would never win a GE with her tack record
Downside is we’d have to put up with her as PM for a couple of years.I’m not the most sociable, I don’t like people generally, especially after they’ve had a few drinks, and I tend to keep the world at arm’s length.
But you can multiply that by ten for politicans – all of them, I vote Labour but wouldn’t want to be trapped in a lift for so much as five minutes with any of them – and you can multiply it by a hundred for Tory politicians.
What a God-awful, objectionable, shower they are – Johnson was dreadful but as the others emerge from out of his shambolic shadow it’s clear he was hardly the only one.
Those who crave power are invariably those least fit to wield it.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I forced myself to watch Sunak’s video. “Ready for Rishi.” For goodness sake, who does he think he is? I would rather listen to Rishi Persad!
Yes Rishi, we are all ready for a Goldman Sachs banker who held a green card. And his mega rich, non dom wife.
Taxes at the highest level since the 1950s and generations to come saddled with immense debts and a far worse standard of living than their parents and grandparents had thanks to this rich boy’s idiotic policies – and he has the nerve to think he should take over!
Loyalty is not exactly one of his virtues either. Recording a video pitching for the leadership when publicly defending the Prime Minister is low behaviour, even by the standards of politicians.
I am beginning to think Mordaunt is the least worst option. However, she has made herself unpopular with some of the Conservative Party membership by her vocal support for trans rights.

Indeed: this from ‘The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy’
“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job”Where do people dig this stuff up from?

I am actually mightily relieved to read that one of TRF’s most politically-objective observers thinks this – I was wondering if it was simply my anti-Tory bias.
100% agree – he’s actually loathsome, just awful, awfully awful.
Anyone but Sunak.
I’d even rather have Johnson back – there can be no greater indictment than that.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I might actually cheer on Rishi simply because all the back Boris idiots are now saying “anyone but Rishi”.
To be honest Truss, Braverman and Zahawi shouldn’t be anywhere near no.10. Hunt still backs the Uganda scheme and the NHS definitely wouldn’t be safe in his hands.
Quite simply there isn’t a good candidate. They were all happy to stick by Boris when he was breaking the law and turning the country into a laughing stock. Now they are all trying to distance themselves from him.
