Craig 6590 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Even the Guido spreasheet has Johnson nowhere near 100 backers: Sunak: 143 Johnson: 75 Mordaunt: 27 At 21:20 on Friday evening, Johnson has 68 backers. So he's gained only 7 in 36 hours. He's going to be pulled up before the final hurdle - no fucking way with that narcissistic cunt allow himself to be defeated, he'll claim he was never planning to run in the first place. And the bonus will be the likes of Rees-Mogg, Dorries, Patel, Wallace and Zahawi all look like fucking morons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16578 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Seeing as most Tory MPs, in a brief moment of clarity, can see Jonson would be a fuckin disaster if only due to the privileges investigation, does Mordaunt stand a chance now, getting votes from those who’d never vote for Sunak?

I wondered that. Her performance on LK this morning though was abysmal, another Truss in waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but then again iirc there will be an indicative vote. If she can't command a majority of MPs she should withdraw (appreciating Johnson won't in that scenario).

Gemmill 42792 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Johnson has asked Mordaunt to drop out and support him. Doesn't sound like a bloke who already has 100 backers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34143 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Steve Baker and the ERG not supporting Johnson surely makes it difficult for him to have the required numbers. His saying he has when he hasn’t absolutely fits with his way of operating too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42792 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 He's gonna gatecrash this on a fraction of the vote share, win with the members, and we'll be back here again in the new year, if not by Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34143 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Daft thing is he won’t give a fuck if it kills the party for good. Which it hopefully will and very well might. Yet the members will still fucking lap it up. I think he’s nailed on to win at this point. And if Sunak had anything about him he’d resign the whip of a party whose members don’t like him purely because of the colour of his skin.

What a lying fucking sad sack he is. Chorley is having the time of his life ripping the piss out of all the dicks who've spent the last 48 hours taken in by this fucking charlatan all over again.

Gemmill 42792 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It'll be absolutely consequence free from a career perspective, I'm sure, but I fucking love that 50-odd of them have once again debased themselves in service of this con artist. Rees Mogg and Zahawi are a couple of decent catches. Simon Clarke too. Just genuinely worthless careerist bellends. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5129 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Austerity 2.0 then and 2 solid years of it. Tories to close the gap by 11 points as soon as it goes through. Argument will be - "Rishi spent money to save the country from the pandemic, he's managing the markets now, but he's telling you that he needs to cut back on spending now. It's like your household budget you see..." And people will eat it the fuck up because a household budget is something they understand, and economics is not. I hope the 'Labour win either way crowd' are right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20485 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Sunak won't unite the party. He is hated by the right. I mean viscerally so. The tories are in a world of shit still, although I'd agree might escape the complete oblivion that Johnson would have entailed. One "advantage" of the tories continuing longer is the cost of living crisis will hit them harder. I don't think everybody realises how bad this is going to be.

Gemmill 42792 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It took this snivelling shit 20 minutes to decide that Sunak is the candidate after all. Imagine being likes man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5129 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I reckon they'll rally around him because they always do. Cost of living crisis plus austerity. Maybe we'll have all starved to death by the time of the next GE, that could be their plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
