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Javid has withdrawn (because he couldn't get the signatures obviously)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
-
Well the 12th July is here. I will have to endure the whoppers next door to work marching around banging their drums and playing their flutes this morning There were a small number of flying ants around yesterday, please let today be flying ant day So I wonder if flying ant day can be predicted?

2024, there’s very little chance that this parliament will go full term just because of the dates involved. Last date an election can be called is Dec 17th 2025, The election must be within 25 days of that date. The electorate really will not thank the Tories for an election campaign over Xmas. If it goes past May 2024 it’s a sign of the desperation of the Tory Party. And it really is Boris' fault
