Kemi would be useful in the cabinet, the rest I don't even want to see as MPs let alone PM.

who's going to watch the first of the tv debates...on a friday evening??

I would rather have shat in my hands and clapped.

I would say Sunak probably came out of that ok...he was obviously getting targeted a lot as he's the front runner...although Badenoch was quite nice to him...

Mordaunt just seemed a bit dull, can't actually remember anything she said. 

Truss is awful, although what she was saying on NI cuts and spreading the covid debt sets out a big dividing line between her and Sunak.

Tugenhadt did ok, he is good at the nice guy, emotional stuff...but he lost votes the other day and is just in it for a job.

Badenoch was doing the we need to be honest about tax and spend without actually really committing to anything, but we know from her press thing the other day she wants lower taxes and a smaller state...cutting all that waste at school...you know these over staffed schools with all these unnecessary extra curricular activities. Also, she didn't do much of the culture war thing apart from her little self id spat with Mordaunt. She was weak on her final speech thing.

Before tonight I thought anyone who was up against Sunak in the final two would win as he'd be much more popular with MP's than members. Not so sure now, his plan of turning to all the others offering freebies and effectively saying  "Look I've actually seen the books, if you think we can have anything apart from high taxes and shit public services for a generation your living in cloud cookoo land" might actually work.

Cheers for this and everyone for watching because I sure as hell wasn't going to!

It’s going to be ‘woke’ to stay hydrated this week, isn’t it?

Idiots like him obviously trying to copy the republican model in US, which admittedly does work over there. Grim.

I guess. A lot of money though. 

From Winchester college website:

For 2021/2022, the boarding fees are £43,335 per annum (£14,445 per term)

For 2022/23, the fees are as follows:

• The fee for Boarding pupils will be £45,936 per annum (£15,312 per term).
• The fee for Day pupils will be £33,990 per annum (£11,330 per term).

he was prolly a day pupil as he lived down the road in southampton.

Mordaunt still my preferred choice out of main 3. She was only one saying we should invest as we decarbonise and transition to a green economy. That is exactly what we should do. Larger state because we need it, aging population. And borrow to invest and grow the economy. Sunak doesn't want to invest in anything. Truss wants to cut taxes and delay and/or water down net zero commitments. She would be a disaster.

[steviewevie]

...and if Sunak became PM I wouldn't be that surprised if she made that Badenoch chancellor...her and her honest decisions...we just can't afford it folks.

I wonder how Sunak and Truss will try to stop Mordaunt getting to the final round.

Best thing Truss could do is pull out. If its a choice from the "right" of the party between Truss and Badenoch I haven't a clue why anyone would go for Truss. She finished bottom of the Opinium post survey, the stuff about increasing our debt to Japan/U.S levels was idiotic. Japan is net exporter with an older population who buy their own countries debt, The US is the world reserve currency and so countries have to hold dollars for trade. The whole reason this commodity bull market is hurting more than the last is because the pound is down under $1.20 and she's wanting to devalue it further.

Sunak is only about 20 mps from a guaranteed final. I suspect he may have votes to lend. May not be an issue if Badenoch votes go to Truss.

Don't give her ideas! I think Truss would be the labour handpicked opponent.

If mordaunt keeps being as wooden as last night they might not have to do anything...but then again Truss was pretty crap too. I think it will be Sunak Vs Mordaunt.

Minister in the climate change department giving terrible advice about what to do in extreme weather. Great.

So this article for a news satire website I saw earlier this week is redundant already as Truss is already doing the tribute act? ‘I will dress up as Thatcher if I win,’ says Liz Truss (newsthump.com)
