Tory Leadership contest 2022

[bimble]

Being a new face not much seen standing around next to BJ probably helps a bit, when the government you’re in implodes as embarrassingly as it just did.

 

[bluescreen]

So what was Johnson on about today in PMQ's when he said his successor might be elected by acclamation, so this could be his last PMQs? And then made a sort of farewell speech after which another PMQs would make him look like the man who left and then had to come back for his hat.

Until he mentioned acclamation I thought it the least likely outcome this time round. And the only person I can think of being acclaimed is Sunak who is loathed by Johnson and his chums.

They're all fucking jokers.

I’m only familiar with Sunak’s partner, tbf.

I didn’t hear that, and don’t know. But Mordaunt?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

This is like a bunch of flies vying to be first to the turd. There's not a single person on the list that my 9 year old daughter couldn't outwit.

he could quit, tell HM that Raab could form a government and then flounce off. Raab could then form a government until Sept 5th and only a VONC or finance bill could then kick him out, until he resigns for Sept 5th.

Hunt has failed, Zahawi has failed, Braverman only got 32 so looks dodgy for next round. Sunak won.

Isn't the line of all candidates that the current government has great achievements - just a shame about the liar in charge. Though they don't ever say the second bit

 

[cupid_stunt]

The following are out -

Hunt 18, Zahawi 25

 

[belboid]

Hunt and Zahawi out then

First round results


Conservative party leadership election, first round result (MPs):

88 | Sunak
67 | Mordaunt
50 | Truss
40 | Badenoch
37 | Tugendhat
32 | Braverman
25 | Zahawi
18 | Hunt

Hunt and Zahawi eliminated.

 

[danny la rouge]

Zahawi and Hunt out.

 

[danny la rouge]

I hear Zahawi and Hunt are out.

 

[planetgeli]

In your excitement you've all missed the fact Zahawi and Hunt are out.

 

[belboid]

Looks as if Badenoch could catch Truss up, Sunak and Mordaunt will be top through till the final round

 

[Sue]

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)

He's an MP. That's how it works.

(I'm obviously not saying it's good but it's not exactly a revelation that he behaves...like an MP.)

 

[cupid_stunt]

I hear Zahawi and Hunt are out.

Where did you hear that?

 

[danny la rouge]

I’d have got there quicker if it wasn’t for my fight with autocorrect. (Hunt, actually. No, I’ve no idea what that says about me).

 

[andysays]

No surprise that Sunak has come first, but Mordaunt will be pleased to have beaten Truss.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Sunak and Mordaunt are the last two standing, and Mordaunt goes on to win the members' vote.

And worth mentioning that Zahawi and Hunt are both out.

 

[Elpenor]

Presumably Braverman will pull out and back Badenoch, Tugendhat supporters would coalesce around Mourdant ?

 

[stavros]

Tuggrnhat won’t win because he has a funny name.

That's true of a number of them though. I've heard different pronunciations of Badenoch, Braverman, Tugendhat and Hunt.

 

[existentialist]

My wife says your a twat by the way…

TBF, she does appear to have a thing for twats...

...especially Hunt.

 

[billy_bob]

Particularly glad to see Zahawi out - horrible arrogant careerist prick. And to see Braverman likely to be for the chop next. The only downside is all the cunts who are still left. Is there no way they can all be eliminated?

Embarrassing for Hunt to do so disastrously after being the runner-up last time.

 

[andysays]

That answers my question of how many votes Zahawi and Hunt got between them - 43 - so we can see tomorrow where those votes go.

ETA and it appears that two of those who originally nominated Hunt didn't vote for him today

 

[JimW]

Zahawi will be curled up under the hay refusing to come out if his stables have aircon too.

 

[cupid_stunt]

I wonder how many will drop out before tomorrow's vote.

Braverman, Tugendhat, and Badenoch would seem likely, leaving it to Sunak, Mordaunt, and Truss.

 

[billy_bob]

If I have my sums right, that means Braverman had the highest proportion of shy voters, followed by Mordaunt, followed by Truss.

 

[marty21]

So , Zahawi's tactic of taking a promotion from Boris & then telling him to fuck off has led to Zahawi having to fuck off . He'll get 8 weeks as Chancellor as compo though.

 

[andysays]

Braverman, Tugendhat, and Badenoch would seem likely, leaving it to Sunak, Mordaunt, and Truss.

I would be really surprised if all three of those drop out so soon, TBH.
