Depends how you view it I think. Badenoch is a right wing nutter on principal Braveman is just a lunatic with no brains Truss is the continuity Johnson candidate I think (and watch her rise in the grassroots standings when this becomes apparent) Mordaunt is just a Union Jack Sunak appears to be a very Marmite character in the party and the grassroots Zahawi, Tugendhat and Hunt are also rans I think (as is Braverman fwiw)
-
Thats my take on it. I don't get the need for this second stage Personally I'd but them all in the Colloseum and make them fight to the death
-
So 8 through to the next (absolutely pointless) stage of getting to 30 signatures Sunak, Truss, Tugendhat, Braverman, Zahawi, Mordaunt, Hunt and Badenoch
-
Oh no Dem, it's quite the opposite, it really is a female-led thing the anti-trans topic. And it's in Labour as well as the Tory Party
-
Javid has withdrawn (because he couldn't get the signatures obviously)
-
Hard to say and we don't know if the lists are accurate because really only the proposer and seconder's names are made public. Plus last time the initial bar was only 8 MPs. Its all guesswork at this stage but there'll be a degree of knowing how right they are later on I guess when we get the list of those that move on to the next stage

Truss appears to be over the 20 line now Guido Fawkes has it as Sunak (46), Mordaunt (27) Truss (22), Tugendhat (20), Badenoch (18), Zahawi and Hunt (14), Javid and Braverman (both 12) and that other bloke (0) The Telegraph has Tugendhat on 21 fwiw Thats 185 MPs out of a total of 358, so there's lots of hand sitting still going on Anyone know when the deadline is?
-
There a bar I go in every now and again in town that has 6 individual cubicles. 3 have a man sign 3 have a woman sign. No one takes a blind bit of notice of the sign
-
Truss appears to have hit the 20 threshold (Paul Bristow changing allegiance from the now not standing Shapps)
-
Patel has decided not to stand
-
With David Davis and Michael Fabricant now backing Mordor, she really is attracting attention from the Tory Brains Trust
-
There's no such thing as an elected Prime Minister either.
-
The country doesn't get a say in this.
-
It is doing the job amongst the membership
-
I'm not sure Penny Mordor has said anything about cutting taxes, I'm not sure she's said anything about anything much
-
As I suspected, Truss is becoming the Johnson continuity candidate
-
Oh well if it's Tim Gane's Birthday, I'm listening to this as it is definitely one of my favourite albums of the year so far
-
Grant Shapps is out and backing Sunak
-
I remember that from having Gas and Air at the dentist as a kid
-
Cummings is probably right, just wait until the field of Tory Leader candidates is down to two and one of them declares that they intend to make Johnson Minister of State to Lead the Free World.
-
No, he's resigned as leader of the Tory Party, he can't unresign. And the VONC has no bearing on the leadership of a party. The VONC is no confidence in the Government. Johnson is still the Prime Minister. I was pointing this out only the other day and... well look upthread and see for yourself
-
And I presume that this was a state school. The vast majority of religious schools in this country are already part of the state system Come to Liverpool, its extremely hard to find a school that isn't religious. -
Most of those are in state ownership

I also feel compelled to say that there are no illegal immigrants crossing the channel. Nothing becomes illegal until they reach the UK
