330k. No wonder so many are standing. Pay their mate who has a printing firm 25k for some leaflets and put it through as 330k expenses

If true, that would more likely come from party funds, but it does seem a lot per individual given how briefly most will be in the race. Perhaps they’re not expected to repay it all, which might explain why so many have thrown their hats in the ring.

Just listening to the radio and discovered that the parties don’t require prospective candidates to submit a DBS check!

Just waiting for Johnson to throw his hat in the ring :)

The party should publicly declare where this money is coming from

Has it been a week since a tory scandal - time for another one?



In the land of tory you cant do a:-

gender bender fender bender

and expect to carry on. By election in coming.

I would love to see him entering the race and winning it could you image the him getting the the grass roots to vote. I would gladly pay £25 to sabotage the party and see him as PM. Could you image him tottering out of number 10 in a miniskirt and heels to attend PMQ's not that there is anything wrong with that each to there own and all that.

But listening to some tory opinion writer bragging about how diverse the tories are with 6 people from the leadership being from ethnic minorities and them being more representative than the Guardian and BBC. The fact that he had to mention it says a lot from the party that wants to pay another country to take refugees who had the audacity to claim asylum in our country.

I would just love to here them trying to spin that one it would really make me smile.

Joris Bohnson has entered the ring a cross dressing back bencher I believe?

I suspect that a lot of them have seen the standard of candidates and thought "if people that shit are standing, then why not me?"

Alternatively, it could be read as the party just having a phenomenal wealth of high-quality talent from which to choose…

Using a VPN means that the sun is always over the yardarm somewhere: chin chin!

What a pity that the Shangri-La that was the Shapps Premiership is over before it even began. Must be quite heartbreaking to discover that after seventeen years in Parliament, you can’t even muster one friend for every year’s service.

They are in freefall now - I suspect any new leader bounce will be short lived and not enough to recover from this
