[Politics] Next Conservative Leader - Rishi Sunak

[Bish Bosh]

Just wonderful news tonight. Would only be topped if we won the FA Cup final 3-2 with a last second goal!

 

[nickbrighton]

does anyone anywhere think that If BJ had actually got the votes he would have stood down? Of course he wouldn't, he simply cant admit defeat, so is trying to make out he is doing "the right thing" and being the better person- what a complete tosspot

At least Sunak will retore some resemblance of normality until next election

Sunak's first job needs to be to get this person as far away from central government as possible.



Polite and evil.

And always bloody wrong stating that BJ would 'clearly stand' a few hours ago.

the "bullshitters apprentice"!

He possibly did, but if Mordaunt dropped out dishy rishi could have ended up with twice as Johnson.

Johnson is a lazy coward quite unfit for the fight.

All this winner nonsense, he's a lucky chancer whose only won elections against damaged opposition. Fingers crossed he loses his seat at the general election.

 

[Bodian]

His decision has probably just about saved the Conservative Party. Don't imagine for a moment that The Liar took the decision on that basis - but purely because he didn't have the numbers.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

How embarrassing for Boris. Cut short his holiday only to be thoroughly rejected by all but the oddballs. Oh dear.

Almost like some lead him on….

 

[Hugo Rune]

By backing Mordaunt, this clown has confirmed Rishi’s coronation tomorrow. He is the last person she’d want backing her.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Not sure the red faced middle englanders are gonna take a billionaire person of colour telling them that they have to tighten their purse strings and that we are all in this together very well.

He'll cash in now with lucrative speaker engagements, you won't see him within 20 miles of his constituency office and then he'll bottle it and stand down at the next election with some bullshit excuse rather than the face the ignominy of getting booted out.

Yep, he will be too busy and it’s not fair to neglect the global Boris foundation. Goldsmith I suspect will be the new candidate

 

[Binney on acid]

I'm turning cartwheels ! Boris can focus fully on his breeding programme, and leave running the country to someone with an element of credibility.

 

[A mex eyecan]

best bit of news today.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I rarely bet, but did take a bet this time, as I was certain the corrupt former PM would not be successful. There were far too many people against him within the Tory party but he was so vain he still needed to explore the possibility. Awful, awful man

 

[Eric the meek]

Zahawi jumping ship already

No political interviewer could have done a better job of exposing Zahawi for what he is, than Zahawi's own tweet.

It's already got 15,000 replies. I'm guessing, but not many of them will be complimentary.

 

[Wozza]

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Thank god for that.

He thinks he had 102 MPs backing him. I’m calling BS on that.

If he had the numbers, there's NO WAY he wouldn't run. His ego wouldn't allow it.

He won't last to the General Election.

He'll be kicked out of Parliament when the Privileges Committee finds against him.

 

[Wokeworrier]

Good news. Now all he has to do is unite the Conservative party, try to rebuild/salvage some sintilla of economic credibility, sort out the countries finances, keep the lights on this winter, deal with Putin, alleviate cost of living crisis, take on the unions, stop the NHS collapsing this winter and get the Tories into a position to at least have an outside chance of winning the next General election ...


Good luck Rishi !!

Superb.
