Sunak wants no part in rewriting history and demonising Boris Johnson!

You don't need to rewrite history to demonise him!

True.

And the 1922 committee promised BJ (went without fuss) he will be the next UK ambassador to Ukraine.

Hopefully they'll place him on the front line. :D

Elliot Chappell being interviewed live on the BBC called 'Jeremy Hunt' - 'Jeremy C?nt'. And it wasn't bleeped out.

Priceless. :lol: :lol:

No way the Tory membership will go with Sunak.
And nor should they. The leader of our nation should represent the majority of voters that he / she leads. We are still a democracy after all.

Majority meaning?
The greater part.

When I was on jury service one of the barristers made the same mistake. It's just as well I had a face mask on as I was struggling to hold back my laughter. :lol: :lol:

Come on Liz, get in there.
You can have Liz, I'll have Penny. :D

Apologies to all the middle-aged forumites who actually act their age. :lol:
On second thoughts, she sounds like a right bitch, I'd rather have Liz.

A poll suggests if Mordaunt gets to the last two she wins!

Smarkets did some modelling and it predicted a Penny Mordaunt victory if she is in the last 2 based on how the membership will vote using an array of data inputs. No idea how accurate it is.

She keeps talking about Mrs 'T' and some have said she will be more iron willed than her. :o

She said she'll run the economy like Thatcher. The first thing that springs to mind is the Poll Tax, widespread rioting, mass refusal to pay, people not registering where they live, councils not knowing who or how many people live in a property and struggling to collect, and finally the downfall of the iron witch herself. I would have thought many Conservative party members will be old enough to remember that.

YouGov poll suggests in the final two, Mordaunt beats Sunak 67/28%, Truss 55/37% and Badenoch 59/30%.

People are taking note with Mordaunt now 1.93 and Sunak 4.8.

Liz was asked if Johnson's a clown and she said 100% (support him). :lol:

I'm hoping a lesser-known candidate wins so I can start with a clean sheet, no animosity to the new PM, however long it lasts. :lol:

It will be a relief, once Johnson's gone, not to have the urge to insult him. :)
