Considering Steven Swinford was of the opinion the “anyone but Liz” group was noticeably bigger than the “anyone but Penny” group, that’s a very good turnout for Truss. She was in “survival mode” earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted July 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2022 Not sure this got the attention it warranted but this is the perfect summary of the last few years of Tory reign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Sunak is treading water, I expected to be miles ahead by now. Could he get eliminated if the Badenoch vote got spilt to Truss and Mordor? The final 3 have been the same since the first ballot. It would have been a lot easier if they cut a few of the rounds out.

Editor of the Times playing games just like the MPs I concur with @ml1dch Truss vs Sunak is pretty much guaranteed my 5/1 on Truss I got on Sunday afternoon is looking good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truss will get the vast bulk of Badenoch's votes The way Tugendhats votes split was the crucial factor, I'm genuinely surprised that Truss got the largest number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) We're gonna have Liz f'n Truss as PM. She'll start a trade war with the EU over the NI protocol. Massively ramp up the national debt by cutting taxes and just being a reprehensible human being. The silver lining is it's an open goal for Labour and hopefully the Tories fracture over her leadership that we get an election soon Edited July 19, 2022 by CVByrne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that puts her head to head with the conservative members who will take her tax cutting and Brexit is never over, it's war with EU till we die approach over Rishi This is why Truss is the new fav for PM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted July 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2022 With Badenoch’s elimination I saw somewhere a reference to “Kingmaker Gove” (no, really). IF he did have that power, would he sway some of Badenoch’s support towards, or away from, any candidate? Is there an particular one of the three he’d like to be sacked by in the near future?
