His line of 'some people now think Labour is better' showed the kind of leadership his party needs
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 labour.
Interesting spreadsheet of announced policy for each candidate so far
I reckon it’ll end up being Truss who’ll be another disaster and revert to the nonsense culture wars and taking photos on tanks.I know they're not vote winners but this country is facing some massive challenges.
Food security.
Energy costs and energy security.
A massive increase in over 65s and a reduction in the younger demographic
Crumbling waterways.
Getting brexit finished off including sorting NI.
Cost of living crisis.
Climate change.
The list goes on.
We really need politicians with some vision instead we've got a load of hapless tory flag shaggers going on about benefits and tax cuts and an opposition led by the world's wettest lettuce.

Hope you’re not a fan of foreign cheese.I thought Sunak but he's not doing the hot favourite I thought he would be. Truss is 9/2.
She wouldn't be as good at it as Johnson though.I reckon it’ll end up being Truss who’ll be another disaster and revert to the nonsense culture wars and taking photos on tanks.
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.Which one wil expel Mo Farah ?

Maybe I'm naive(!) but I'm fairly sure the party will narrow it down to two 'sane' candidates, and ignore the absolute nutters.

Longest period of continuous growth in UK history, I see your point.Last night Starmer on channel 4 news said he’s taking policy advice off Mr Blair - that’s a vote winner

Can’t see it myself I doubt she will get through
I never understand why members are allowed to select leaders as they generally have no interest in electability
Members would select Starmer ahead of Hunt (they certainly would Reeves she should put her name forward) so it’s pointless getting him through
Mordaunt has second amount of backers.
I suspect he’s too busy thinking about the shower in his Tory version of the jungle programme.You have neatly avoided this so far but who do you want to win?

Im hardly avoiding it
Hunt won’t win so it’s who will stand and defeat Starmer
In thatcher and even major days most of the cabinet would have swiped Stammering Starmer away like the political Pygmy is. Times clearly have changed when the likes of Grant Shapps is in the mix. The only remarkable thing about him is his non moving hair.
Sitting in a Tank and wearing a fur hat in Estonia isn’t very convincing either.
I get the impression Javid isn’t popular - he’s again not a good speaker - nice but bland.
The fringe candidates will be gone by Thursday anyway
Where do you go? Sunak has baggage abs isn’t liked - the rich thing won’t matter - but he has enemies including Mr Johnson
So I guess penny mordaunt

We all know why Javid isn’t popular and it’s not because of how he speaks.
So yes Mordaunt the lady who just put out a few minutes of flag waving and no substance. Sounds right

Labour to table a motion of no confidence in the government today.
MPs to vote on it tomorrow.
Don’t forget the convicted murderer.We all know why Javid isn’t popular and it’s not because of how he speaks.

Not sure that’s right if you’re implying what I think you are BSB. I remember seeing polling where Sunak was most popular amongst the members until NIC increase and his wife’s tax issues
Sounds like just the player we need.Starmer in showboating and wasting time shocker

Edit - Grendel beat me to it
I am basing that on the polling of Conservative members in the last leadership contest.
Two-thirds of Tory party members believe ‘parts of the UK are under sharia law’
Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt urged to combat ‘Islamophobia crisis’ in partywww.independent.co.uk
Starmer in showboating and wasting time shocker
johnson would have beat anyone - Sunak would have beaten hunt - Javid would and in fact how do you explain this?
Mordaunt and Badenoch way out ahead in poll of Tory members
Penny Mordaunt got 19.6 per cent, with Kemi Badenoch close second with 18.7 per centwww.independent.co.uk
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.Im not sure of the actual figure but I’ve heard the average age of Tory members is anywhere between 57-70 years old. Not ideal when someone is being picked to lead the country and address some of the longer term issues we face, like the ones Clint’s highlighted above
I’m still to hear anyone set out their vision for the country and how they plan to address the short and long term issues. Hopefully that will come.
