Tom Tugendhat
Another round of voting on Monday and I expect Tom to be given the boot, it doesn't matter what the hell he spouts on TV tonight as the one's who matter in the voting are not your ordinary people of the country but the Paid Up Tory Member Elite. That's enough to send shivers down your spine by the way, most of them will be extremely wealthy and it's these ****rs who will be selecting the next Prime Minister and not those useful idiots in Westminster.

Kemi Badenoch
She, just like Tom will face the firing squad on Tuesday, her loudmouthed Activist backers will almost certainly be her undoing and she needs to disassociate herself from them and fast. There's nothing much wrong with this lady but, and that's a big But, will the Tory Member Elite select this woman as the next leader of the Tory Party?, I'm going to say No and Tuesday's vote should confirm that. If those useful idiots in Westminster do put her through to the next round on Wednesday the Paid Up Members of the Tory party will be ready to put the knife in.

Penny Mordaunt
I wondered what all the nonsense about Trannies was all about so I looked on the truthful pulpit of the interweb, apparently she has a brother who is Gay and also supports Gay and Trans rights. Hmmmmm, if she can be so easily manipulated by someone from her own family then those sharks of the establishment will have her for breakfast. There's no point in Penny trying to backtrack now as her previous views are out in the wild, will this be a major setback for her?, I believe it could be, she has come across as a two faced bitch and that's not a good thing after all that bollocks with Boris Johnson. I still think it will be a Face Off between her and Rishi but HMS Penelope is in stormy waters.

Rishi and Liz
They were sat at the top table making decisions and backing and supporting all of Boris Johnsons screw ups, they knew what was going on in 10 Downing Street and didn't say anything about it. These two shouldn't even be in the running for the top job as they were already in the cabinet and shouldn't have been allowed to put their names forward for the job, the worst pair of Untrustworthy scumbags from all Five contestants.

Penny Mordaunt and Tom Tugendhat have been on Sunday Morning with Sophie Raworth.

Both were quizzed on how they would pay for their plans for tax cuts - Mordaunt says she'd borrow to deal with "day to day costs"

Tugendhat emphasised his lack of attachment to Boris Johnson and said the prime minister's Partygate account was "more fictional than reality"

Mordaunt slams media "smears" about her record on gender self-identification for trans people.

She defends comments she made during the Brexit referendum, when she said Turkey was set to join the EU

Meanwhile, the government's climate tsar has warned about "lukewarm" attitudes to the net zero target during the contest so far.

This evening all five candidates will take part in a TV debate - the second in the contest - at 19:00 on ITV

The next live TV Tory leadership debate has been cancelled, after host Sky News said Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss declined to take part.

The two contenders clashed repeatedly during a debate on Sunday over each other's economic plans and record in office.

It comes amid concerns in the Tory party about infighting in the contest.

The five remaining candidates face another round of voting among Tory MPs later to stay in the race.

It is understood that Foreign Secretary Liz Truss wants to focus on hustings sessions between fellow Conservative MPs.

A source close to frontrunner and ex-chancellor Mr Sunak said: "We are very happy to do more debates if we are lucky enough to get to the next stage."

I suspect that Mr Johnson may remain in office...even after September...

Jimbuna · 07-18-22, 12:31 PM

I can assure you that isn't going to happen.
