This is the Tories Gordon Brown moment.
Instead of being binned off, I thought Blair had agreed with Brown to step down? I'm probably wrong as back then I had even less of an interest in politics than I do now, but I do recall some kind of pact between them. Johnson was forced to go, but it was of his own doing – as I've said, if he'd have done nothing wrong, he would still be there now – but that's not how he rolls, as everyone knows.
I think he'll be back as opposition leader, which means he *could* be back as Prime Minister at some point, but I think it's unlikely. He's even managed to piss off and/or let down the people who were supporting him, which has, in turn, made them look a bit silly. They won't forget that!
BL, your nightmare is over. You were wrong.
The fact you appear to be confusing GT49er as a Labour fanboy is amusing to me.
I'm not though. I have no idea where he aligns politically, because my visits to the political threads are very few and far between.
In my over active imagination he was given an envelope of photographs and asked if he really wanted to come back. Lol.
I may week be wrong on this but with the exception of Shirley Williams no female has gone for leadership. I also believe that no one of colour has gone for leadership. You can’t vote in someone who isn’t standing. There is of course the question of why no female or person of colour has stood previously.
Very much this. I also like to think that if bumble**** did get the vote, King Charlie would have said ‘Afraid not, he who lied to my mother, let the people decide’ which he is entirely within his mandate to do.
been many female candidates. including Diane Abbott on one (only black candidate i think), last time there was Nandy and Long-Bailey, before that Cooper.
I’m not a labour voter (or Tory for that matter) so was going on an obviously dry poor memory.
I think there's been a fair few - last time Starmer was up against Lisa Nanny and Rebecca Long-Bailey in the final run-off, with Jess Phillips and Emily Thornberry already eliminated.
I think the Tory grandee’s have made the decision to go with Sunak and will do what’s needed to ensure Mourdant doesn’t get the required 100 votes as she is just as much of a basket case as Truss.
Mordaunt’s interview with Kuenssberg yesterday, stressing and stressing how it wasn’t about the person and all about the people, while her unconvincing tone, body language and general egotistical transparency relayed quite the opposite message.
