If the Tories have got any sense they'll elect a leader who has no connection to Johnson or his government. I'm not sure how many that leaves, but there must be one or two backbenchers still untainted. If they do go this route that rules out all those names you mention plus Gove, Braverman Dorries etc. Unlikely they'll show any sense though... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted July 7, 2022 Tom Tugenhadt is mercifully free of Bojo taint Conservative Home website recently tested out the likely voting on leaders and the top three were Ben Wallace, Penny Morduant and Liz Truss in that order Before we free ourselves of this thread a couple of things will be interesting 1 - The amount of shit that hits the fan now Bojo's power and patronage are spaffed up the metaphorical wall and people who know stuff can sell it to journalists 2 - How hard the parliamentary party will try in the next few days to install someone else (actually Raab's job if they play by the book) as the caretaker PM. If they can't find ministers to serve under Bojo as caretaker but the same people say anyone else would do, it'll likely keep us amused for a few more days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the difficult bit: There are going to be so many hats going into the ring but in getting to a victory for each one will require a balancing act to get through the two stages I think Liz Truss must be favourite because she has seemed to come through this shambles unscathed but it is so obvious she wants the job (even though the evidence is that it is beyond her capabilities) Tom Tugendhadt & Tobias Ellwood will slug it out for the One Nation side of the vote but considering the 2019 intake are almost all pro-brexiteers they might struggle to get on the ballot that goes to the Tory Members. They might do better with the MPs who would face a challenge from the LDs at the next election. Jeremy Hunt is a possibility and he came close in 2019 and I would not rule out Michael Gove but he really does come across as a double-crossing coke headed waste of flesh which even his friends (if he had any) would struggle to contradict. Sunak, Patel, Zadhawi or Javid might get on the final ballot but will they appeal to the blue rinse walking corpses that are the Tory Membership? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s like being shown a list of Gacy, Bundy, Dahmer, Chikatilo, Kroll, DeAngelo, Ramirez and Gein, and asking which one you’d rather be raped and murdered by.

TQR 14,385 Posted July 7, 2022 His speech was so utterly devoid of contrition, humanity and consideration of anyone but himself. And he has the gall to fudge together a new cabinet of unskilled no-marks and shamble on for the next couple of months. There are no abusive terms fit for this disgusting monster. And make no mistake, his eventual successor will very much be a Johnson Tory, not a traditional one - they’ve all been ousted. The fish rots from the head down, and by this stage the fish is utterly putrid beyond recognition. Those around him are similar deceitful, crypto-fascist, self-serving, immoral, probity-devoid goons from the same Brexity cult. The Conservative party will take a long time to detoxify and regenerate, and until it has, nobody within it should be anywhere near a position of power. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
