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

Can we nominate urbs to enter?

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

They're called dons , not masters, but carry on

 

[nottsgirl]

I beg you, not Patel. That’s all I want from this.

 

[Kaka Tim]

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.

not good. Baker is leader of the tory cunt ultra cunt group - or whatever the ERG are called now - so very much helps braverman get on the final ballot - and the tory membership do like their hard right loons.

Shes been very quiet atm?

Calm before the storm?

 

[nottsgirl]

I console myself with the thought she’s been widely thought to be a disaster at the home office but I am terrified she can do it.

 

[Bingoman]

Calm before the storm?

Maybe?

Don't curse it ffs

Yeah, either forgot that or never knew, but that's it; that's the anecdote. I do remember we were given sherry by the headmaster or whatever he might have styled himself!

God he really is an extremely smarmy fucker - I think a difficult sell when voters inspect the goods close up. I also wonder if it's ever crossed his mind when recounting the heartwarming story of his parents' arrival in the UK how different things may have been if they had been bundled off to Rwanda...

Also chillingly clear from the 'confronting the moment vs. fairytales' narrative that he is explicitly touting himself as the intellectual heir to George Osborne. Anyone remember 'hard choices' from the post-GFC years? Making a comeback should Rishi get in and win a GE...

Mark Jenkinson, Tory MP for Workington.

Bit early for him to be on the light ales

Occupies the same space as Patel I think politically but with less baggage

Steve Baker had tossed his hat in the ring with this intriguing portrayal of himself as the survivor of a terrible propellor accident.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Wow, he's kept his old school wrestling promotion to himself, but he's got my support.

 

[AverageJoe]

Loved Keith Lemon when he was a wrestler (bottom right)

 

[RedRedRose]

Bookies odds, according to the Guardian.

It'll be fucking funny if he doesn't stand.

As Attorney General. Braverman has just done whatever Johnson wanted. I can't think of her making her mark in a good way at all. Maybe Baker wants her to his puppet

"He who wields the knife doesn't get the crown," is the usual rule of thumb.

Bloody hell - did he just apply the first design suggestion in PowerPoint when he put that together?

It's the little squiggly thing to the bottom left of the picture that really gets me just why?

You can tell it's the guardian as anywhere else would have mordaunt on 13/2 and Wallace on 9/2. Don't know why they seem to think this makes the pair rank outsiders

Putting his passion for the withdrawal method into effect

Just heard of this cunt Steve Baker - apparently his hat is in the ring. He thinks science is political correctness gone mad and looks like a get-rich-quick spiv.

Baker has been on my radar for quite a while as a really unpleasant individual. Amongst his attributes he is anti-green, anti-abortion and a member of the ERG, but thankfully he has withdrawn from the leadership contest (not that I think he had an enormous chance of winning). He is now backing Braverman lol:
