They’ve said down to two candidates within 2 weeks. They’ll then have a party members vote which will complete, probably in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible for it to be two weeks. They haven't opened nominations yet and that takes 3 or 4 days, then they have to whittle them down in elections. 1 election per day until they get to the final 2, the final 2 then go to the entire membership which took a whole month last time. The only way they get it done in 2 weeks is if like with May the second placed candidate is so far behind they pull out and it doesn't go to membership. I really can't see that happening here but maybe I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to make up for the lost years, get Brexit done properly and put water on the fires of recession ready for re-election It's not hard to get it right from their perspective. They will be evil (that's a given) but as long as they are competently evil then the media will back them to the hilt and they'll win the next GE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I hope whoever takes over immediately sacks Dorries. That’s the first thing I’d do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever there is a new leader Boris is gone. He will stay PM until they elect a new leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a bloodbath (hopefully) If Sunak stands for example, how long before it's leaked that he didn't want to do furlough etc and that happened against his advice, same with all the tax cuts. The knives will be out for everyone who stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well people talked about the lengths Putin would go to to cling onto power. A major development in Ukraine in the next few weeks could Boris claim extraordinary circumstances ? - or even create such a crisis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
