He said something vague about not uniting the party and not being the right time. Who cares though, shit for us he's out. We're going to get a slick, competent, and millionaire PM who will slowly erase the last disastrous months for them in the eyes of many, might even get them a GE win next time.

A second coming of Boris would just continue to validate and promote racism. Fuck him.

It wasnt all that vague. He couldnt lead the parliamentary party with that sort of split and so thats the backbone of his explanation now. And he wants to be able to claim he did the right thing this time, in the party and national interest.
Taking a step back the entire thing might have been a show to make it look like a democratic contest but with the actual reality involving forces that could not actually allow the members to make a Truss-like bad choice, so making sure it was a rigged game.
Setting the bar at 100 and dangling Johnson there for a few days helped distract the headbangers. Unless they have time to whip up a headbanger candidate tomorrow, which would be quite an ask.

A tiny violin, then, for those "102" nominators, who must all be so disappointed - to say nothing of all the headbangers in the shires.
It's not going to be fun for Rish! either, because he's not going to have a united party behind him, and he's going to do some very very nasty things to their constituents.

Guardian says Boris isn't standing.
I'd like to add that, for the record, neither am I.

Yep, he knew he'd have had a chance with the members (personally, in the cold light of day, I'm not sure they would have actually voted for him, but hey), clearly nowhere near 100. Is this his final lie in front line politics? No, the fucking shite will be at it again after the 2024 election defeat.

I think if there's a hell, it will feature a permanent Tory leadership contest in which no one ever actually wins.

Does this mean that all Sunak backing MP's get to line up in the aye lobby in front of Rees-Mogg and get to file past slapping him upside the head?
