She'll banging on that door, slurring the whole street awake, before it dawns on her she's accidentally been trying to get into the Elizabeth Arden Red Door spa rather than the Labour Party.Maybe she'll defect to Labour?

All over bar the shouting.
No way Mordaunt can reach 100. I wouldn’t be surprised if her already low numbers decrease as her party colleagues pretend to rally around Sunak “for the sake of unity”.
This is a total win for the opposition.
Sunak is too conservative (small c) to win over the Johnson-ites, and too Conservative (big C) to overturn the opinion polls.
He’ll get a short honeymoon in the media, then the country will get fucked off with his austerity measures, the Johnson-ites will start undermining him for “sabotaging the Tory’s chances in the next election” and the whole charade will start again.

Streeting is basically a tory, just with a red rossette.

Boris had 100 backers ? 
chinny reckon
If he had, he wouldn't have bottled it , he would have won via the membership vote.
Even though he bottled it , Blue on Blue fighting continues , Boris fans blaming a remainer cabal
tweeting #neverSunak #neverRishi , and suddenly threatening to leave the party & demanding a General Election
Tbf , Boris might walk it to the leadership of the post landslide rump of a party , definitely won't need 100 MPs then

The funniest part might be how badly the Tory faithful are getting fucked over - they wanted to keep Johnson but nope, they had to choose between Truss and Sunak. They chose Truss, six weeks later she's out and there's a tantalizing chance they could get to vote on bringing Johnson back, but nope, tough shit, you're getting Sunak.
Maybe they're learning that you can never trust a Tory.

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
Part of me thinks that he did it deliberately. Back me you snivelling fuckers ( the ones that resigned) and I'm off again and making you look like a bunch of pricks.

I am so pissed off about this, I had a shit weekend, what with mother being rushed into hospital again on Saturday morning, I spent about 8 hours in A&E, had very little sleep that night, I started to watch Dr Who last night, found myself drifting off, so went to bed at just after 8pm.
My last thought as I drifted off to sleep was, 'that cunt had better wait until the morning before pulling out', because I wanted to witness the breaking news, and the selfish cunt didn't.

Should be, from a credibility point of view. But from the point of view that they have hours of TV to fill, column inches to write and Twitter posts to tweet, one could say that they got exactly what they wanted.

Robbie Moore, a Tory MP who is supporting Penny Mordaunt, says he is "absolutely confident we have the numbers" required to force a run-off with Rishi Sunak.
Mordaunt currently has just 25 MPs who've publicly backed her campaign - she must reach 100 by 14:00 today.
In contrast, 155 have already announced their support for Sunak.
But Moore says he's confident Mordaunt will be on the ballot.

I had you down as a sunak supporter as he'll fuck off the membership, has loads of questions to answer round his former non-dom status etc, loads of conflicts of interest with his wife's wealth, his name goes down like a pint of vomit in houses claiming universal credit over the last couple of years, and much of the parliamentary Conservative party doesn't like him

Having a Hindu PM is going to piss-off loads of fucknuts too. Almost worth it for that.

This is very likely why so many "we have a mandate to govern" Tories are now wetting themselves at the prospect of having a person of colour as PM. Watch as they bend their rules and regulations to suddenly become true democrats , if only to watch a Hindu lose the election and then they can get back to Boris.

Exasperated, not angry.
What, so he went out of his way to get Johnson Humiliated / Bottle Job headlines? Don’t be daft.

It will certainly piss off some, not sure about 'loads' TBH, because plenty of local parties have selected candidates that are other than white, including of course his own.
I guess he thought he could build up enough of a head of steam from the media frenzy etc - he was wrong, but right at least that the frenzy would be obligingly provided.
