Tory Leadership contest 2022

I've not watched, and won't, but I'm guessing that the establishment is run by Cultural Marxists.
I have watched it and can assure you that you're spot on.
TBF though with this sort of thing we don't know how many people he interviewed. There is a tendency to select the nuttiest on the grounds they're more entertaining.
Bit like Britain's Got No Talent where they let through some no-hopers knowing Cowell is going to belittle them.
 
They're probably positioning themselves to act surprised by the mess left behind by the previous government due to problems they couldn't possibly have known about in their lowly role as chancellor/foreign secretary.

Not sure that's going to wash, given how hyperaware of all this stuff the average punter is right now.
 
I know there's a lot to be said for knowing thine enemy but I could only stand that for a few seconds. Fuck them all.
I toughed it out for a bit longer but didnt make it all the way. They do contradict each other, which is fun to see
 
There’s a hint in those interviews of why Starmer’s approach is doomed. If you’re deluded enough to buy into the idea that left liberals run the establishment and that conservatism represents stability and sensibleness, you’re always going to vote Tory, regardless of Kieth’s attempts to suck up to you.
 
Why is Sunak still pretending he can win? To what end?
No hopers are expected the maintain the illusion of hope and competition until the bitter end. Especially in this particular leadership contest where the candidates were supposed to give assurances that they wouldnt drop out prematurely before the membership had their say.

They can also hang on with hope just in case momentum shifts as a result of some huge clangers being dropped by their opponent. Truss has plenty of clanger potential, although it will be hard for even her level of incompetence to compensate for Sunaks unpopularity.
 
Is Sunak hoping his furlough/cost of living package bona fides will help him? That puts him directly at odds with the ideology of the cranks now in charge of the Tory party.

might also be angling for a cabinet post in her government, and the better he does in the poll the more weight any claim he might have would be.
 
The front page/headline of the Daily Express today is quite something. It actually made me laugh out loud in the supermarket just now. Amazing.

to be next but one leader?

Truss is going to be tempted to call an election at the end of September on the assumption that it´s all about the economy, and even stupid people must see that the economy will be looking pretty grim for a 2024 election. Rishi will be waiting for her to crash and burn. Who else do they have with even half a brain?
