Getting very Trumpian vibes. Bear in mind Wyatt is BloJos ex so might have some insight. Might explain why Andrea Jenkyns was shouting 'He who laughs last, laughs longest' while flipping the crowd the bird the other day.

He can’t, it’s against Tory rules.

Looks like we are in for a fun few months. Let’s have a general election and end this madness.

No. There will be massive vote in favour of the Tories. People are very fickle

Absolutely no evidence of this so far. However, 2 years is a long time in politics, so who knows?

Could go either way tbf. But given the sheer amount of shit awaiting the next leader, this is certainly a higher stakes group of things to navigate.

I’m gonna say we are heading for a Labour government, this leadership contest will be awful for the Tory party.

Hung parliament I reckon, with some pretty difficult negotiations to be made.

Johnson resigned yet?

Unless things improve dramatically in this country I think tories will lose. Not sure labour will get a majority though.

Yeah I think it’ll be a Labour minority government.

I'd seen that the Paralympic athlete Jonnie Peacock had voiced a request to remove a clip with him in it. Why exactly the clip she used that featured him also featured Oscar Pistorius is another matter.

There's certainly been better leadership launches in this farce, put it that way.
