Very ironic considering Mordaunt’s the only one who’s publicly declared, isn’t she?

Sky are reporting Boris will definitely run, but nothing from him.

I thought Rishi had but you appear to be right, I haven’t seen Rishi declaring yet. Perhaps he will now he has enough to be on the ballet on Monday and is expected to have a significant total of MPs behind him

He is expected to get around 55-60% of the members vote so you would think he would stay in the race but there is so much still unclear about his motivations that it is hard to gauge right now

Cruella didn’t run.

I was hoping for a staring contest

Which is a bit suspicious. There was a lot of talk over the last week or so she was positioning for a leadership challenge. Unless Johnson’s sudden run of backers has scared her off and a fear amongst the most right wing of the party that an additional runner would split the vote, I can’t see why else she hasn’t announced she was running.

Who is next??

Trump…nuff said.

Australia…ScoMo secretly gave himself every portfolio.

UK…Jesus fucking Christ.

Italy…neo-facists who let Silvio in the back door.

What’s the name of that witch down in Devon? Does she have a spare room in her cave?

Wookie Hole innit?

I’m moving to Costa Rica, fuck this shit.

We got Scholz. Most of the time we wonder if he’s still in office, might take weeks for people to notice if he ever quits

I’m getting rather sick of hearing about the 1922 comittee.

The country is facing crisis on mulitple fronts, and here we are yet again hanging on the word of Graham Brady and his cohort of crusty old bastards whilst the tories play musical chairs.

Their best candidate lost a vote only 2 months ago to the most incompetent Prime Minister the country has ever had.

The conservatives have caused incalculable damage to the country, they deserve electoral armagedden.

Many won’t declare till they see which way the wind is blowing.

They know Sunak will win the MP vote, but will ultimately lose if Johnson reaches 100.

Just been reading some posts by Stephen Bush (FT) question whether the members vote is so strongly in favour of Johnson. I guess we may see further analysis of that over the next couple of days.

What is this fucking weird thrall he has over the Tory members. Everything he touches either turns to shit or gets pregnant.
