Tory Leadership contest 2022

[MrCurry]

Just heard on the radio that JRM & Nadine Dorris are not running and have pledged to support Liz Truss . So we won't see a Nadine campaign #GoNads

2 more reasons to hate Truss, when none were actually needed.

[SpookyFrank]

Shapps is out. God willing Braverman will also be out by close of play today.

 

[two sheds]

i sympathize with shapps on that one.

you weren't in the underwear section were you, with a group of priests?

 

[emanymton]

I'm going to be stupid and make a prediction.

Truss will win it.

 

[killer b]

Braverman is currently polling fourth with the members, I wouldn't be dropping out if I were her

Just had a look and i 1st predicted this (truss to be the next PM) back in November, and haven't wavered since. So with a bit of luck and my track record that means it can't come true.

Only yesterday he was pledging to fight dragons sorry I meant to take on the union barons

 

[Artaxerxes]

None so eager as a convert

 

[bimble]

i don't think any of them actually believe in it anymore, especially not the ridiculous man whose ridiculous job is now to seek for the benefits of it and who hasn't yet found any so he keeps asking people to write to him with suggestions via the daily mail.
The only mystery is why they think the voters still do ( believe in it or care about voting for a "brexiteer" six years later).

 

[Wilf]

Fuck me, don't think I've ever heard tugen-thingy speak before. Makes kieth sound like a coked up party animal.

 

[Wilf]

Incidentally, Labour have missed their moment with this vonc. Was never going to pass, but it's an irrelevance now as the Tories have 'moved on'.

It's just to give them a zinger at the next PMQs or whatever. Oh they all turned on him last week but then this week they vote to keep him haha.

 

[Wilf]

Be interesting if johnson himself has to defend the voice.

Edit: feckin autocorrect, vonc.

[A380]

And Mordaunt is a naval reservist...
…

Apparently her husband is a prominent frogman whilst her child carries a gun but isn’t currently serving in HM forces…

 

[not a trot]

Bookies won't take my bet on the contest. All I wanted was the odds on any cunt winning.

Suella Bravercunt, Tom Tugencunt...

 

[elbows]

Someones predictions that the Guardian took note of earlier today:

They are going to update their predictions as things move along, so I'll probably keep posting them as this happens.

 

[Smangus]

Dream team, Truss, Mogg and GoNads

An amoeba of the deluded.

 

[Pickman's model]

tbh out of those two i wouldn't be in the slightest surprised if mordaunt won.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

So, I’ve just been chatting with a member of the House of Lords (!). He reckons it will come down to Sunak vs Truss, with Truss winning.

Time will tell I guess.

My money's been on her for ages too.

 

[platinumsage]

I don’t see Truss wining amongst MPs, and I don’t think members will leapfrog her over the MP’s favourite. That has only happened once with IDS vs Clarke and in that case the MPs vote was extremely close, which I don’t think it will be this time.

 

[kebabking]

I'm very much of the view that if Mordaunt gets to the final two, she'll win, even against Truss - I don't think the members like Sunak, and will vote for almost anyone but him.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

I can't predict who the m.p.'s will vote for, but I reckon that the Tory rank and file don't like taxes very much. If Sunak were to be standing against anyone else who was white then their innate prejudices will make them vote against him, using his record on taxes as the excuse. If there were two non-white candidates then who knows? Or am I being unfair on members of the Tory party?

 

[belboid]

Patel rules herself out. Such a shame.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Until the story about Sunak's wife's tax arrangements, he was firmly in the lead amongst party members in polling by Conservation Home, which tends to be fairly accurate.

The mp’s vote is 100% irrelevant when it comes to the members’ vote. IDS stood against Clarke and portaloo, splitting the votes almost equally. The members then went 2-1 eurosceptic, as they nearly always had. The exception was Cameron, possibly cos they were sick of losing.
