Yours is the same kind of thinking that said because Boris Johnson prevailed in the no confidence vote, that his future was looking bright. Even though, whenever in the past this had happened, it ultimately turned out badly for the PM. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomper Higgot Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Kemi Badenoch has data me an about turn on ‘Net Zero’. Well obviously her previously expressed views were deeply held.

Bluespunk Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 “Tom Tugendhat has been knocked out of the Tory leadership race after only receiving 31 votes in the third round of the vote. Graham Brady said 357 votes were cast in the third round of the vote. The results for the other candidates are as follows: Kemi Badenoch received 58, Penny Mordaunt got 82, Rishi Sunak got 115 and Liz Truss received 71.” https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2022/jul/18/tory-leadership-third-ballot-rishi-sunak-liz-truss-penny-mordaunt-kemi-badenoch-tom-tugendhat-live?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 So, Truss and Sunak remaining. Truss was always my second choice behind Kemi so obviously I'm hoping she wins ahead of Sunak. Politically I like Truss' views on things like her economic libertarian views, anti woke stance, smaller state, less regulations etc. She also did a good job securing trade deals post Brexit. Her ability to do so despite being a Remainer shows a mature stance and a willingness to accept the will of the people, a lesson that many on this forum could learn from. Like me, she also flirted with Labour and the Lib dems in her youth before waking up to smell the coffee and moving to the Conservatives. This shows a level of intelligence and a willingness to change and admit your mistakes. Sunak's tax and spend stance on the other hand is not what I'm looking for. I don't think he'd be a great election winner either so we'd have to rely on Starmer staying at the top of Labour to secure yet another victory. If Starmer left and they got someone likeable, someone with a personality who knew what a woman is, we could have a battle on our hands at the next General Election. Unfortunately, I predict Sunak will win. If he does, I can only hope he makes Truss or Kemi his deputy PM and that Starmer retains his position (and keeps Abbott, Rayner, Nandy, Lammy et.al alongside him to complete the image of incompetence). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the opposition, they still have Starmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay zero attention to cummings but when a quote from him that helps expose or even better cause divisions in the tory party I am happy to use it. The opposition is more than one party you know and I would imagine they are relishing the prospect of a truss win. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 Johnson’s fans will take heart from the news that BBC R4 is this morning reporting 4000 Conservative Party Members are asking why Boris Johnson isn’t on the ballot. But it’s hardly good news for the Tories, 4000 of their membership doesn’t seem to know what’s been going on these past weeks and are yet another faction in the fractured Tory Party. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opposition is more than one party you know and I would imagine they are relishing the prospect of a truss win. I agree and Labour are no doubt rubbing their hands at a gifted opportunity as the conservatives recklessly go into freefall. The problem is, if Truss gets the vote, how much damage will she do to the country before they lose the next election ? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
