ewerk 29556 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 At least we can all agree how amusing it was for Johnson to cut short his holiday, fly half way across the world to regain the keys to No.10 and then fail miserably. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's roughly 200,000 Tory party members. Some of those would see a leadership election as Brown vs White/Indian vs British. There's probably some overlap in that group with people too old to use a computer to vote, so it may even itself out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42792 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 40 minutes ago Mordaunt posted that. She's going for it. Not sure about the skin stuff cos I don't see colour, but you lot are racists, so tell me: was this intentional? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 29556 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Has anyone heard of a single policy from either candidate? The entire thing seems to be about who has the best chance of winning a GE rather than what might be best for the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Also worth noting they claim they have a mandate even though neither were in government in 2019, because the manifesto is a document, not a person. But I think both would keep Hunt who has ripped up that manifesto. And then with levelling up, we know how Sunak feels about it. He supports ACTIVELY levelling down, reversing Labour's levelling up of previous years. I guess though the only policy from either is to constantly firefight and survive somehow.

Renton 20485 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Sunak has >50% of nominations already. Mordaunt continuing is a big mistake for the tories imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20485 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Richy Sunak. His out-of-touchness is going to be a problem for him, doubtless. Ironically though it could be a good thing, making him less susceptible to corruption for personal gain. I can't see anyway of the tories spinning that though because of what it implies.

I don't see how she continue on when it's clear she doesn't have the back of the majority of her parliamentary party. Unless she has a bloc of votes coming from the likes on the ERG and it's much tighter than we think. Then again Tories gonna Tory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if some Johnson backers have silently given her their vote. Especially the ones that don't want a coronation like Dorries, Rees Mogg etc. There'll be some horror shows from that group siding with her for jobs too. ERG statement at 12. Would be a canny spanner in the works if they sided with her, unless they framed it as in the name of democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Guido site, 14 of Johnson's backers have publicly shifted to Sunak, 2 to Mordaunt. I'm sure Johnson had 76 backers on there when his statement came out. So thats 60 still to declare the direction in which they're going. She's currently got 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 8749 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) It truth, it really should be put to the members tbh (the cunts), what is any party without the members, however despicable they are.
