Tory Leadership contest 2022

Eh? You think he rigged the polls to do whatever ‘angle’ but decided also whilst he was at it to give himself a laughable 1% of the vote?
Sorry. Don't understand. His score's been immaterial since Monday. It's the top of the chart that matters, not the bottom.
 
god I wish that 7 of the 8 could get fewer than 30 votes today just so this fucking interminable drama could end and not drag on another 6 fucking weeks

Yes, I have to agree.

In the past I might have said let them tear strips off each other for as long as possible, let Rees-Mogg makes increasingly badly disguised racist comments about Sunak - the more of it we get, the more damage it does them. The main drawback to that, I now think, is that you need an opposition leader capable of seizing the moment and kicking Labour a few places up the poll ratings while the Tories are busy, otherwise all it is is a month of 24-hour news coverage of every time Jeremy Hunt takes his dog on a run with him. And unfortunately Starmer couldn't seize a moment if you sedated it and strapped it to his chest in a baby carrier.
 
If Tugenhat can hang on till the pugelsticks round he might still have a chance.
Tugenhat can't even look after his own constituency let alone the country and regularly votes according to the party line wants and not what we here have voted for (he's my mp)

🍆🍆🍆
 
Tuggrnhat won’t win because he has a funny name. I have a funny name so I know, people don’t like things they can’t spell. When I did telesales they made me lie and pretend to have a normal name.
It sounded Huguenot to me. Because of the Gs and Ns and Ts. But I’ve just done a web search and it isn’t. Tugendhat - Wikipedia

So now we know. So we can forget him all over again when he loses.

This is a better test than Michael Howard was of whether anti-semitism in the Tory party will put them off a candidate. With Howard, anyone trained to hear dog whistles knew where the 'something of the night' comment came from, of course, but he was more objectively evil than TT seems to be and that variable may have confounded the results.
 
i almost feel for my MP, the absolute useless wanker.
Just went to see if he's said anything and he's been silent since this. That means he's supposed to go for Truss i think.

eta there's a survey up on his website asking constituents to tick boxes for which of the 8 they most dearly want.
 
You try reading fabricant's handwriting.
Why would they need to read even his scribble, surely with the resource of the Tory Party let alone Westminster someone could design a single A4 with a list of names and checkboxes on it and then print off 360 copies of it?
 
hmm - looks like its going to be penny morbid for our next pm then. If polls are believed, teh Tory members aint too keen on socialist sunak by all accounts - certainly bourne out by comments on gammon-chat (the spectator Facebook page) .
 
What do people make of Penny Mordaunt's apparent popularity? It seems disproportionate to her profile.
Halo effect. She’s good looking and has a name with a classy ring to it, all of which is tick tick tick to brainless Daily Mail reading types who don’t bother themselves about complexities such as policies or voting record, etc.
