Next Prime Minister / Tory Party Leader

[Derek27]

Several have thrown their hat into the ring with Sajid to follow on Monday, and Archery's girlfriend is expected to do so too. So I'm quite baffled that there haven't been any other moves and Sunak's shortened to 2.7 - 2.76.

I would have thought his lower-tax phobia won't make him popular amongst party members and his patronising "do you want a fairytale" video will go down as well as May's equally patronising lack of a magic money tree explanation of why the country was in a shit hole.

Come on Liz, get in there.

You can have Liz, I'll have Penny.

Apologies to all the middle-aged forumites who actually act their age.

Ben Wallace decided not to throw his hat but concentrate on his job as Defence Minister, but how does he know he'll still have a job after a cabinet is selected?

If he does, he could be the minister for cleaning toilets.

Sunak looks a little short considering he's going to not reduce taxes like the others which will likely reduce his support among the MP's during the elimination process
Plus Boris has more or less decided to take his anger out on him so he could then struggle to get votes from the die hard tory members if he gets to the last two

More to the point, The guys that stick the knife into the sitting leader NEVER get the job.

I started off chuckling at your comparison. By the end of that vid I was in despair. Is this really the best a prospective PM, a seasoned politician can come up with. We're all screwed!

Staunch Johnson ally Rees-Mogg tells Sky: "I believe in the principle that somebody is innocent until proven guilty, and though the reports of what Mr Pincher has done sound very serious, they have gone from sounding as if somebody was too drunk and behaved badly, to a sexual assault, that is a different category."

What planet is this guy on? Pincher admitted being drunk and resigned. Being drunk is below par but not a resgnation issue. He resigned because he's guilty of inappropriate behaviour and he knows it. The days of groping men, women, children and hoping to get away with it are gone.
Come to the 21st century Jacob.

No way Rishi will become PM, there are around 86 MP's still loyal to BJ and he will of made it clear to them not to vote Rishi's way in a 2 horse race.

They all went to Eaton where fiddling was not talked about but allowed.

It seems MP's are not the only ones disgracing themselves while in office.

Between its introduction on 15 December 2017 and 31 March 2021, a total of 812 officers have been added to the Police barred list.

Replace the narrator with Tom Baker and you've got a Little Britain intro.

Money for Penny and Liz. I'm surprised Penny has been backed into second favourite.

I don't know how long that vid is but the first time I got bored after 30 seconds. Waiting for a match to start, I had another go and lasted about 60 seconds!
