Tory Leadership contest 2022

Rich "bastard" Sunak

 

[Sue]

That's terrible. I can't work out if it says Rishi or Rish! His name's Rishi but that definitely looks like an exclamation mark.

Ooh, is it like Angela Eagle's which was so shit I can't even remember what it was..?

Likened to a perfume ad IIRC

 

[Sue]

"someone has to grip this moment?"

eta the logo though, that's amazing, really does looks like it was created yesterday.

It's like the Covid work experience infographics all over again!

Angela Eagle's

Angela Aaargh because it descended into squiggle halfway through.

 

[stavros]

Any word yet from the name on everyone's lips?

 

[platinumsage]

Prepare yourselves

Interesting to hear he plans to abolish private schools

Arrhhhh or something wasn't it, was just thinking that myself.

Edit- but you could at least remember her name, I couldn't.

 

[emanymton]

Here it is.

I think for Tories running for leader is an efficient way of getting offered a plum ministerial job. Get a few supporters and then make a deal with one of the frontrunners to stand aside.

[MrCurry]

How does someone that stupid become an MP? Oh wait, don’t answer that. It all makes sense I suppose.

Complete with gormless surprised look too. Priceless.

 

[Bingoman]

Bill Wiggins has enter the race too

Who he, I have no clue

 

[Supine]

Reports that Nads might run are being well received in this house

O fucking christ - I fucking loathe the sneaky cunt.

apols for lack of even a smidgeon of erudite analysis. I just hate the shit. Smirking, greedy knobhead. Prolly summat to do with losing the teeny tiny bit of UC covid uplift (ha) and knowing it was dishifuckingrishi behind the move.

Was wondering which one but starting from 'all of them' probably works.

One thing sunak has over shammer is his not representing a London seat

This analysis was perfectly erudite as far as I'm concerned.

Yep Sue...but I am holding a special hatred in my heart for the callous Sunak and his short-sighted and ultimately vicious economic positioning. Plus, he is a greedy, hypocritical, tax-dodging liar so yah know - total Tory

 

[platinumsage]

I think Sunak might do a Portillo in this leadership race, definitely his to lose. My eyes are on Wallace at the moment, it’s his to win if he plays his cards right, which he might not.

 

[RedRedRose]

The Guardian features this rather odd picture of the presumed) contenders:

Why is Sunak, second shortest at 5'7", shown towering over the apparently six-foot tall Braverman, not to mention five-foot-ten Zahalwi and five-foot-eight Javid? Is the Guardian getting behind Dishi?

I don't know enough about Zahawi or Javid, but Liz Truss has proven a defence liability, Suella is an oddball, and Sunak is unbearable.

Amongst the Tories, I would have thought Sunak would be popular for fiscal reasons, and Mordaunt for trying to undo the reputational damage of Johnson.

Mark Jenkinson, Tory MP for Workington.

 

[rubbershoes]

Interesting to hear he plans to abolish private schools

I think he was headboy at Winchester

 

[kebabking]

Twitter tells me that Steve - not-a-nutter - Baker has thrown his vast political weight behind Suella - not-thick-at-all - Braverman and her foretold in the stars leadership bid.

 

[brogdale]

I think he was headboy at Winchester

Have related this anecdote in other places, but I'm reminded of it now.
Long story short, I was being shown around Winchester by a old-hand "Master" who breezily told our group that he was proud of the variety of social backgrounds that pupils came from. He expanded on the theme and said "we actually have children from middle class backgrounds and even some from trade".

Man Of The People

It also been reported that Kemi Badenoch is enter the race too
