but could a rogue state make a worse choice than the party membership?

I for one , welcome our new rogue state overlords

'Stepping down for the sake of unity'. Wtf?

Boris deserves to be reinstated becuase he got the big calls right: like resigning when 60 MP's made his ridiculous position untenable.

He's also learned from his mistakes....by going on holiday afterward and ignoring his responsibilities to parliament and constituency.

Like I said: genius

 

[teqniq]

Fucking deluded:

 

[quiet guy]

I'm not sure why anyone would think that BJ wouldn't get 100+

So many self serving cunts all wanting to ride in on the back of his triumphant return. Doesn't matter that most of them also voted to push him out the last time around.

 

[Indeliblelink]

Sunak confirms he's standing. No surprise really.

 

[frogwoman]

Return of Boris Johnson as PM would be ‘nailed-on disaster’, says former minister

Leading Eurosceptic Steve Baker backs Rishi Sunak for Tory leadership, saying Johnson was ‘bound to implode’

Tory MP proves how thick he is:

 

[TopCat]

What about Ian Duncan Smith? He had a look about him.

Desperately seeking Penny is out of the running now big log has arrived on British shores

Sunak confirms he's standing. No surprise really.

Is it now mandatory to sit in front of at least 1 Union Jack flag in every photo at all times ?

 

[TopCat]

Is the big vote on urban for maudant a reflection of what is preferred rather than a perception of who will win?

If Sunak gets 25 more nominations, she won’t be one of the candidates tomorrow.

It was early voters forgetting who the who the electorate in this contest were.

What? How did you arrive at that conclusion? I prefer none of them.

If you believe Johnson has the votes. I'm not sure he does and it he "decides" not to stand then Mordaunt may get enough anyone but Sunak votes

EDIT: Though Sunak is developing such a lead I'm skeptical either Johnson or Mordaunt will be able to stop him

 

[TopCat]

Todays betting.

No conclusion reached at all. Just remarking on the big vote for maudant here that is not reflected elsewhere. Is it urbanites just getting it wrong or was she perceived as being more acceptable? The least obnoxious candidate?

Lol. What big vote? You have an overactive imagination.

 

[killer b]

My assumption was that Mordaunt and Sunak would get through, and the members would vote for Mordaunt - I reckon that's probably the calculation most people who ticked her were going with.

Yes, I’m basing my calculations on Tory backbenchers being fucking morons.

 

[TopCat]

Currently 30 percent on urban.

Fair do’s.

Anyone guessing Tory party leadership votes is a mug punter. Thatcher wasn't favourite, pretty sure Major wasn't either. The spiteful party is spiteful to itself too. That's why this is so much fun.

(I thought Sunak early on. Mind you, I thought Sunak early on for the first vote too. The party is so split it's not inconceivable to see an ABU, in this case ABS, vote and Mourdant sneaking in. But I'm still going for Sunak.)

Maybe Johnson's pretending to bluff about how many nominations he has so that he can make a few grand betting on himself.

 

[TopCat]

It really will be interesting to see it go a members vote now. I can’t see the party members voting for a brown bloke.

 

[bimble]

It's not going to go to a members vote. i am willing to bet one bag of monster much, pickled onion flavour only.

Nah. The libs on here like sensible Sunak.

It does seem as if they'll choose anything but that, even up to and including a woman. But who knows.
