Yep. the one thing Johnson had going for him was his ineptitude and laziness.

most every other university has a week in the autumn and spring terms in which students fall to their knees and give thanks that they don't share an alma mater with la mordaunt - they're known as reading weeks.
I hope Trus wins TBH. I can't see her enthusing the temporary tory voters or winning new ones. Also more of the current regeme stick around, the less chance of a clean break revitalised sensible conservative policies at a difficult time shtick can be played next GE

Well I think it depends who wins. Some of the candidates are so right wing they won't commit us to our climate change targets.The next Tory government is going to be even worse than Johnson's clown show, isn't it?
I know they're only playing to their own right now, but presumably they're going to at least try to follow through on at least some of their promises.
They're all going to keep going with the Brexit FUBAR situation.
Mordaunt apparently wants to reform early years childcare which would be amazing to be honest, but I don't expect her to follow through with any actual new funding.
Badenoch seems the scariest so far, she wants to take the biggest hatchet to public services.

Connections I guess. At least she didn't go to Eton or Winchester.

Yeah, after an initial phase of thinking it would be bad if all the candidates were obviously lunatics, I think this is the best hope.
But it's galling that, as much as I (always) want to see the Tories out on their arses, Starmer's clearly unable and unwilling to take advantage of any swing in Labour's direction to do anything that's actually worthwhile...

So she has the gift of being able to talk a lot without saying anything meaningful. What a lot of hot air.

Quite possibly, In between Mrs Q giving me todays set of instructions, my daughter bounding around like a demented lycra clad djinn, all while I was trying to get some breakfast and that critical first cuppa of the day. it is not impossible that I didn't pick up the full story and may have filled in the blanks with a bit of wishful thinking.

Weight is meaningless
Just watching Sky News interviews of candidates, on housing Tugendhat gave the most waffly nothing answer I've ever heard, Penny Mordaunt slightly more focused on the subject but got confused halfway through and ended with "let a thousand flowers bloom," which was an interesting choice of quote ... Badenoch more on the ball (probably because she's been holding the local government brief), Truss suggesting (rather laughably given the trends under successive Tory goverments in which she's been very influential) that housing policy be more locally targeted and er, "build upwards," which I suppose is better than drilling into the earth. Rishi starts with the bleedin' obvious "we're all conservatives" and is clearly well briefed with a blue skies idea of flat pack housing to throw in, the zany bastard.

Lol "what is your greatest weakness"
Badenoch: Great question! I tend to laugh at starving poors, which is something I'm working on.
Rishi: I'm too much of a perfectionist which is something I'm working on
Truss: I'm too enthusiastic about stuff!
Mordaunt: I have four Burmese cats, haha. But seriously my only weakness is learning to delegate, which I've learned to do.
Tugendhat: I talk too much about my time in the Army, which by the way taught me loads of skills. So yeah. I've been in the Army. Did I mention the Army?

This is from a week ago, a survey asking people if they were familiar with the candidates.
But the only reason its interesting really is that the pollster (on twitter) adds that the fake totally made up candidate at the bottom, who 12% of people said they know lots or a fair bit about, if you break that down it was 5% of women claiming they know exactly who it is but a whopping 19% of men. lovely stuff.

You don't know that. Could be a nice guy. Stop being lead by your preconceptions.
