Who should be the next leader of the Tory party?

[Alan Harper's Tash]

There is no chance. Thought he might go as an independent or Lib Dem though

independent in Johnson’s constituency?

Although he might split the Binface vote.

Could have put this in a few of the threads in this forum but thought this was a really good read -

Britain is not experiencing an economic rerun of the 1970s. Long-run economic growth is lower, inequality far higher...

None of their members have holiday homes in Bejing or go on boozy stag and hen nights in Wuhan it may be the chosen "enemy" because they are far away and their racists won't understand......... or am I thinking of the Greeks?

I get the feeling that if Mrs Carberry there ran for Tory leadership she’d blow those other two stiffs out of the water!

Oh dear oh dear oh dear - BBC Sophie Rayworth just said Stoke-on-Trent in the West Midlands..... I suspect the citizens of the Potteries and Staffordshire may have something to say about that - my guess is its about 50 miles North of Brum so hardly the West Midlands

There’s two “West Midlands”. The larger region does include Stoke-on-Trent, the smaller Metropolitan County doesn’t.

Yeah and Richmond is about 30 miles North of Leeds - its Yorkshire as a larger region but its not West Yorkshire where Leeds is its North Yorkshire - I'd never put Stoke in the West Midlands myself

Any back to the action - lots of blue on blue action tearing each other to shit in the name of unifying the Party lol. Sunak accuses Truss of not answering a question then gets asked one by Faisal Islam and dodges answering - 10 minutes in and its already a car crash

 

[bluethrunthru]

Wow - Sunak is a pushy **** who comes across as a bit thin skinned at the same time - Truss being shown up as economically inept

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Truss seems awkward as fuck on here tonight. Faisal Islam walloped her on what she would do with the long term borrowing costs of paying back the covid debt.
