Who should be the next leader of the Tory party?

Elwood has the whip removed.

A big supporter of Mourdant.

Could go either way for her.
 
Just had a look at who's publicly supporting who.
Of those who have made their opinion known Truss seems to have gathered the support of most of the ERG leaning elements of the party, Badenoch seems to have got the red wall Brexit ultras, Sunak has most of the front bench along with the most recognisable names and Mordaunt has mostly back benchers that few have heard of along with the nutcase that is Fabricant.
Graphic in the following article with the detail.

All of them are clueless and self-serving. Of a bad bunch, Truss is the worst of them, she would be utterly disastrous for international relations and environmental change. None of them give me any confidence whatsoever.

Truss will have us at war within the year Sunak is best of a bad bunch but tainted with partygate. Serious question if there was a coalition government and you could pick any mp from any party including devolved governments to lead it who would you choose? being honest not a single one stands out to me.

Agreed.
She is supposedly the Johnson continuity candidate and she appears to have no compunction about repeating the same delusional lies and boasts about her own pathetic accomplishments.
Badenoch seems to be basing her campaign on being the "anti-woke" candidate focussing on culture war issues that few really give a shit about until the media make a big deal of them.
Sunak seems to be the only one vaguely in touch with reality but he can't get away from the fact that the economic mess this country is in was under his chancellorship, plus the scandals about his US green card and his wife's non-dom tax status were a total piss take.
This leaves Mordaunt as possibly the best of an appalling choice even though her track record as a minister suggests she is nowhere near up to the job.

Probably because the vast majority of MPs do not feature regularly in the media.
MPs like Chris Bryant come across very well whether as chair of the standards / privileges committees or in parliament, and there are many more who are a lot more impressive than the every single person in the cabinet, and that includes quite a few Tory backbenchers as well as MPs from other parties.
