Tory Leadership contest 2022

[frogwoman]

You know the Tories always went on about that note left by Alastair Darling after their 2010 victory saying 'Sorry there's no money'? What is their note to the Labour chancellor going to say? 'Fuck you?'

Liam Byrne.

Just a big steaming shit on the desk I expect.

That being said, if it's Rachel Reeves, fair enough tbh.

 

[Raheem]

There will be no note, but the drawer will have vomit in it.

 

[Raheem]

Tugendhat just said something like "We need to enable families to grow their own economies."

 

[DJWrongspeed]

Rishi seems the most convincing in the latest ITV debate. Surely someone who has been chancellor during a pandemic will get most votes. The Economy stupid!

 

[Petcha]

It's fairly clear watching this who the final two will be.

The system is fucked though. 200,000 tories are going to choose between them as to who is going to lead us for the next two years.

And dear god, Liz Truss comes across as a vile human.

 

[Calamity1971]

I've just switched on. Tuggers ' it's all about trust, I was in the army and we had to have trust in our commanders' . Switched off.
According to the twitter these are even on the wrong side?

 

[DotCommunist]

Here's Sunaks austerity pitch

 

[platinumsage]

I’ve served in the salt mines of Mordor!

 

[LDC]

Badenoch is a loon, but she actually comes across pretty well, I can see why many of the Tory party like her.

Poor Tom, all he can say is, "But I was on the frontlines...".

Oh, great trans stuff again, ffs.

 

[Petcha]

Tom's constant references to his military past are pretty embarrassing

 

[LDC]

Watching it on the train in Germany with shit reception, the halting stuttering breaks and spinning wheel on Truss's forehead give it an added air of impending lunacy. What on earth are they going to say next?

Fuck me the host is really annoying.

 

[kebabking]

So how much would a 90 minute Party Election Broadcast cost Labour?

Shit the bed, these people are awful - of the five, Tugendhat is the least grotesque on a human level, but I think Sunak probably takes the 'and in an emergency, who of these people would you leave in charge of an empty packet of crisps?' prize.


Truss is simply astonishing, and not so much in a good way.

 

[nottsgirl]

They’re all just so awful.

 

[Elpenor]

I quite like this round where they get to burn an opponent with a question they clearly don’t want to answer

 

[platinumsage]

Sunak quickly regretting that question.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

They’re all just so awful.

Agreed, I somehow want Truss to win though, it would make Starmer's job easier !

 

[JimW]

Sunak seems light enough on his feet in this mutual backstab round.

 

[Elpenor]

Liz Truss is as blinky as Ben Swain on Newsnight!

 

[Elpenor]

Sunak seems light enough on his feet in this mutual backstab round.

Skills honed in the Wykehamist debating chamber no doubt

 

[rubbershoes]

I'm having a good day.. I'm not watching it.

 

[LDC]

Has Truss had a stroke at some point?

 

[nottsgirl]

I want Rishi Sunak to win on basic competence but any of the others would be good for Labour. I’m kind of over this run of Tory incompetence though and it doesn’t seem to be working too well for Labour anyway.

 

[Petcha]

Sunak's clearly the most qualified to take the top job but I highly doubt the 200,000 tories voting on this will go for him.

The voting public doesn't always make a good choice. We all know that

 

[JimW]

No need to sit down with Putin when his bagman has already dropped the money off at Conservative Central Office.

 

[Elpenor]

I have to say I much preferred Anne Robinson doing the Weakest Link

 

[Petcha]

Tom managed to avoid shoehorning in his military experience into the climate change question there

 

[JimW]

Though the inheritance Sunak leaves his two girls will also be several million quid so maybe he can fuck the environment a bit longer.
