Apparently Suella Braverman isn’t going to get 20 backers so looks like she’s out.

Rees-Mogg and Dorries think that Truss who campaigned and voted for remain is a true brexiteer. The fantasy continues.

Shapps has pulled out and backs Sunak, Raab backs Sunak.

Dorries and Rees-Mogg expected to back Truss at the same time and around the corner from Sunak launching his campaign. It’s starting to look like I’m not Sunak is going to be the Truss ticket, not exactly setting her apart.

Javid gave it a good stab (I say good stab, I’m obviously judging him by the field) yesterday and at least doesn’t seemed to have abandoned levelling up. He’s the only one I can see giving Labour something to worry about on current form but I doubt he’ll make the final 2. This should be a make...

Don’t forget the convicted murderer.

Longest period of continuous growth in UK history, I see your point.

He says he’s outed himself as an illegal immigrant to challenge perceptions, I can’t help but feel he’s specifically talking about the government. So apart from the NHS doctor of the year and an Olympic champion what have illegal immigrants ever done for us?

Got a feeling that all these candidates are quite capable of losing the red wall back to Labour and losing blue seats to the Lib Dems. I’ll give Javid some credit for telling it how it is, I don’t think he was scaremongering earlier and I think he’ll actually be the Tories best chance against...

Nothing on levelling up, aside from Javid, who isn’t going to win. Or get to the final 2.

They put coverage of Jonnie Peacock winning gold at the para Olympics on her promotion video and he said take it down so they had to. It also had an image of Oscar Pistorius congratulating Jonnie.

More than Jonnie Peacock now. And Oscar Pistorius. Only one of them didn’t want to be associated with the Tories. I’ll give you a clue. It wasn’t the murderer.

Voting on Wednesday and Thursday, they need 20 backers to get to the first vote and hope to have it down to 2 by Monday.

What a sorry bunch. Difficult to see what improvements are going to be made from Johnson, you can’t even put honesty and integrity back on the table with most of them. If any.

There is off course a western country that banned private education almost 50 years ago and very quickly ended up having the best education standards in the world. Not least because the people who could afford to educate their children privately all of a sudden had an interest in seeing state...

It’s like they’re all actively avoiding using the phrase. Even Truss who seems to be trying to sell herself as the continuity Boris option.

It’s not big enough, hence we keep delaying checks at the border, end of next year I think is the latest date for implementing brexit. As the minister for brexit opportunities confirmed, implementing brexit with out enough civil servants in place is an exercise in self harm.

Levelling up doesn’t seem to be on anyones agenda either. Zahawi now trying to backtrack saying he was talking about 20% of personnel not budget. Not sure how that’s going to go down in places like Middlesbrough where the biggest employer is the civil service. All I’m hearing is a return to...

There’s no magic money tree.

Suddenly remembering what Hunt rhymes with
