Ellwood is a Mordaunt supporter, so she's just lost a vote.

Not a Conservative supporter, but you have to credit them on diversity, final four and not a white male amongst them.
 

Shows that Race or Gender are no barrier to being an arse.

yeah, they've always been way ahead than labour on this...why is that? Something to do with macho, white, male union working class thing?

Although are labour backbenches more diverse than tory backbenches? that's how it looks in parliament on tv.

So Tory politicians are the exact opposite of Tory members based on support of the final 4?

Sunak is in trouble but it’s a safer bet for him to be up against Truss, she’s beatable.

Probably Penny but then having both main parties back safely in the arms of centrists I guess has its own issues.

If labour get in and introduce PR it maybe a way of solving them.

according to Rishi at the last debate she's somewhere to the left of Corbyn regarding borrowing for day to day spending.

oh right...and he should know because he's a socialist.

The forde report is absolutely damning for the Labour right.

The thrust of the EHRC report was basically - labour’s complaints process inadequate, ergo Labour institutionally racist, Corbyn as leader was responsible and therefore was essentially also racist.

The Forde report shows that unnamed organisations flooded the Labour complaints dept with complaints after 2015 and then general sec. and vigorous anti left (now Lord, obviously) Ian McNichol deliberately did not implement recommendations to improve the process. The improvements only came in when Corbyn’s choice of gen sec Jennie Formby came in, two years after which, the backlog had been cleared.

Not only that but Forde also noted efforts to undermine the election campaigns by staffers from the Labour right.

Its a fucking disgrace.

Corbyn should have the whip restored immediately. He won’t. Never Labour.

oh. what a shame. Thought she was awesome.

[steviewevie]

So...where does Badenoch's support go...? What does that Gove bloke do?

[Punksnotdead]

Truss v Sunak looks a certainty now.
