Tory Leadership contest 2022

Just found out Tugendtwat had a plan to deport all Russian nationals from the UK. In retaliation for Putin launching an illegal invasion of a sovereign state. Just like Tugendhat and his army chums did. Twice.

Even the ones who seem a bit less crazy are crazy. What a time to be alive.

The army ones always have that veneer of competence that the other's lack but you have to remember that they're basically okay with running around killing people all the fucking time. It would be like putting Harold Shipman in charge of the country.

also they do such a great job of it - so many success stories

Sunak meeting and greeting on Teesside today - at least I hope he knows it's Teesside and not Tyneside.



He clearly said to his people 'find me the most gammony person under 40 you can to stand in front of' - enter Tory mayor Ben Houchen.

 

[frogwoman]

Has he got any chance tugendhat ? seems like he would if the people who get to choose now were thinking about the next GE.

He comes across as vaguely sensible so he's definitely going to lose

 

[ouirdeaux]

Look what happened to Rory Stewart.

Did the exorcism finally take?

Well, he's said he doesn't know any working class people.

Anyway, fucking hell, if only I'd known the cunt was visiting up here, I'd have nipped out and shouted Cunt. Even in this heat.

Can’t wait for them to campaign in Liverpool

I’m torn between wanting the most most insane one because it will fuck up their popularity, and wanting the least most insane one because, well, who wants at least two years of being governed by the most insane one?

Especially in this heat - imagine how much more upsetting it is to have 'Cunt!' shouted at you when you're already all hot and thirsty and irritable.

Thing is the most insane could get chosen and then they still win the next election anyway so the least insane (or slightly less evil than the others) might be best?

No idea which one that is though as i know fuck all about the candidates.

Truss - valiantly combining insanity with incompetence, so she could continue to make them look like bad while also being the least capable of implementing any of their stupid, nasty ideas.

I suppose the hope is that voters will be less likely to want another 'character' after voting for one last time turned out the way it did. And Starmer probably has more of an edge against a mad one than he does against someone who's competent but pointless like him.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Not sure why a military background adds to someones capabilities but suppose it plays well to the blue faithful

 

[frogwoman]

Suppose we then have to hope Truss or Mordaunt gets it? Insane but shit

 

[bimble]

i've got a bad feeling about the next bit, like the bit where people can't eat and keep warm because everything costs twice what it did last year, so the least hilarious nutter would be better just now, i think, not really sure which that is though.

At least they will have met and worked with people who aren’t entirely upper middle class or upper class. More so for regulars than reservists.

nothing seems as far away as the winter at the minute but it will be crippling for many. i dont expect the administration doing much about it

 

[DotCommunist]

I've just seen tugintohat's military experience described as 'doing politics for the green slime* in afghanistan' and 'wouldn't know an AK from a PK' lol
*military intelligence

its all fiddling while we burn, and later freeze. Bleakest tory leadership election I've ever seen, literal thatcher cosplay being the least of it

Mordaunt clearly feeling the need to take hardline positions.

He will go far, jack will. Seems to have misspelled his own name as well (looked him up just to check if he’s 12 years old or just looks it). People really will vote for any fucking thing

 

[quiet guy]

To be fair there are certain areas of Stoke where that would be an improvement.

 

[killer b]

I liked Stoke when I visited - nothing wrong with it except decade after decade of barely managed economic decline.
