Tory Leadership contest 2022

[JimW]

as opposed to now, with our stale uncooked meatball rolled on the floor of a Swedish barbers of a leader?

We need a real looker like Erdogan.

I'd not heard that. Surprised they needed to - his remainingness was surely enough to put the members off at that point?

picking up only 5 votes from the other remainer, (Stewart - who had been lent votes to get rid of Raab) was highly suspicious, followed by getting more than half of Javid's. Didnt want a Johnson v Gove run off.

I've just flicked on GB News for about 2 mins, they were reading out e-mails hating on Mordaunt for being woke, then went to Calvin Robinson moaning about her wokeness.

Therefore, I hope she wins.

I hate* people who say 'hate on'. Are we American? No, no we're not.

*Bit strong but it is a bit .

I've no idea how you can remember this. I mean I did pay attention at the time but I've completely wiped all the detail from my brain.

I love a phrasal verb and welcome new ones, definitely changes the sense and meaning to describe more accurately, and all with the addition of such a small complement.

There's always one...

 

[ruffneck23]

So it's looking like a white woman then, can't say I'm surprised, the Conservative members can just about get behind that...

 

[steveo87]

But when I'm prime minister, which is more likely to happen, I won't give Boris Johnson a job.

Except maybe the job Edward Woodward gets given at the end of the Wicker Man.

I've not watched the Wicker Man, so I can only assume its one of those jobs.

Get out. You’re finished here.

 

[billy_bob]

Is that what statuesque means? Height? I thought it was an elegant bearing, or suchlike.

Yes.

Not entirely. Height is indeed one of the usual elements of it, but along with gracefulness, stiff posture, etc., so it doesn't, I don't think, preclude using it about a woman who is handsome rather than pretty, athletic build, but not particularly tall.

But this is now discussing her looks in rather more detail than I had intended to. I meant only to point out that her attractiveness is of a type that seems tailormade for Telegraph Man.

 

[danny la rouge]

Rishi isn’t tall.

 

[teqniq]

He's a little bit small

 

[Voley]

Isn't Sunak basically campaigning on an Austerity Pt 2 ticket? Gawd help us ...

 

[danny la rouge]

He's a little bit small

How tall is Starmer? It used to be said the shorter of two Prime Ministerial candidates usually loses.

 

[JimW]

Rishi isn’t tall.

Garden gnomesque, also a thing.

 

[bimble]

i don't think men can be statuesque can they? Like women can't be suave.

 

[planetgeli]

What is this discussion of height? I always go for the one in the sheepskin noseband.

 

[Calamity1971]

Seeing her in a swimming cossie on Splash must have short-circuited them a bit.

That belly flop was a thing of beauty

 

[agricola]

Rishi isn’t tall.

He's a little bit small

alarmingly small - images of him look like they've been using the same convention in ancient Egyptian art whereby children were drawn as miniature adults

 

[brogdale]

Note to self; if I ever find myself contesting for the leadership of the Tory party.... don't select Ester Mcvey as a "dream ticket" running partner

 

[teqniq]

dunno i was going for a wordplay on this:

 

[existentialist]

He's a little bit small

Gnomuesque

Pretty fly for a Winchester guy

We’ve done this before, it didn’t go brilliantly last time I tried but, he’s average height for a man of Indian descent.

Yeah, good point, and I didn’t feel great talking about appearance anyway. So I knew I was on dodgy ground.

 

[philosophical]

Mordaunt went to a comp.
That ought to work in her favour when she is PM battling Labour in the next General Election.
On the other hand she voted leave, reckons it has happened, and yet has no suggestion as to how to deal with the present democratic deficit following the referendum, nor what to do about the land border in Ireland.
So that makes her yet another Tory princess of darkness moron.
Starmer has made a pitch for that moron territory, but at least he voted remain.
