The extent to which the Tory Party can push the boundaries of kvntish behaviour is simply staggering.

Mixed views on Stewart - seemed reasonable and so would have been a good choice IF i was a tory voter.
Boris is an ERG puppet and they are manipulating everything in the background. So forget the 160k conservative party members who might have a vote, the real power lies with 60 or so MPs and their financial backers.

Incredible that a serial liar now becomes a shoe in for Prime Minister. He was even outed in the House as a racist during PMQ'S today!
Boris is the perfect candidate to unite the country.
By Christmas everybody will agree he's a complete fvcking idiot.

Frankly, it doesn't worry me if we leave the EU on the 31st October, before that or after that or never. The sun will come up the next day whatever happens.
Doesn't mean I don't think Boris is a complete idiot. Do we really need another Bullingdon Boy as PM?

Rory Stewart is a class act and WAY too decent, honest and truthful for that ship of fools. His day will surely come

Well if you tell the truth it won't wash with the Tories, four fantasists remain with no solutions to the way forward.

Typical out of work DJ who doesn’t realise I am one of those workers.
Just 8 people out of the thousands who put themselves forward were selected to put questions to the candidates.
And then today 2 of those selected, Abdullah Patel and Aman Thakar, have been suspended from their jobs because of their questionable views posted on Twitter that have subsequently come to light.
About time these TV debates were scrapped.

Boris supporters vote-lended to the no-hoper, Stewart, so that Raab could be eliminated. Stewart is great - I'd vote for him. But I have never voted tory. . . .

Gives Boris an unarguable rason to refuse to ever do one again.
Unless it is versus Corbyn, obviously
Indeed. First law of politics - win. Unfortunately the toris know only the first rule. Manwhile momentum labour know only 'no compromis with the electrorate' - and have no interest in winning anything other than control of their own party.

Why did Boris want Raab eliminated so badly that he got his own supporters to vote for Stewart? Boris shat his pants in 2016 re Gove and now he's doing the same thing again in 2019 with Raab. In reality he has nothing to fear from either man so why not just play it straight and see what happens?
Boris will have to include Raab in his Cabinet so how is that conversation going to go and how much loyalty can Boris expext from Raab going forward?

He fears Raab and Gove because he knows that they're true Brexiteers (and knows that the electorate knows they're true Brexiteers).
Johnson jumped on the Brexit bandwagon because he thought it was the best way to the top, but he doesn't want to be in a contest against a true believer when a fiercely Brexit-supporting electorate is looking at the two candidates.
