Using what criteria ? A minimum number of members on the petition or something else ? That thread is a bit light on detail. I would have thought he would have at least drawn our attention to the clause in the constitution that he is referring to.

That doesn't matter!

I suspect it achieves it's goal - the hoards on twitter can gnash their teeth for a few minutes until they find their next fix.

You dread to think it, and yet you must be imagining it to be able to conjure something that's worse than double digit inflation, a serving Prime Minister fined by the police and removed by his own party for basically being a liar who's lost the trust of the British public, war with a country whose Oligarchs we've been welcoming and funding in order to sustain a ridiculous property price bubble in the nation's capital, a recession on the way, more debt than they started with, despite cutting pretty much everything (supposedly), all our casual labour disappearing abroad to be replaced with inflatable loads of families who are then treated like criminals, onto our fourth Prime Minister in twelve years, three of them initially forced upon us, one of whom actually managed to turn a decent majority into a parliament that couldn't function without a couple of religious nutters from Northern Ireland, that same Northern Ireland effectively leaving the Union, real salaries down for frontline key workers, a Health Secretary who was spending lockdown locked in with his mistress, an advisor who needed to drive to Durham in lockdown to check his eye sight, a Home Secretary who has wasted a fortune not sending people to Rwanda because (guess what), it's not workable, impossibly rising taxes and people in their 30s and 40s who still can't afford their homes.

If you've come up with something worse than that in your head then it's no wonder you dread to think.......

Perhaps [MENTION=13923]carlzeiss[/MENTION] can educate us all on what was sooo bad about New Labour.

Britain First will be very upset.

Which is pleasing in itself.

I think I'm now Team Truss. Sure, we'll probably all nearly die in a fiery nuclear inferno and most normal people will need to resort to eating bugs and burning firewood for a whole winter but she should ensure Sir Kier gets in for about the next 20 years or so once she's done.

Truss has to be favourite now, doesn't she? https://www.theguardian.com/politic...sunak-truss-mordaunt-badenoch-mps-vote-latest

Sunak will lose badly to the party membership. Also, what seems odd is that a large number of Tugendhat's supporters must have gone over to Truss, unless some of them lent their votes to Badenoch, while some of hers went to Truss. Still, it isn't relevant to me. Unless something major changes, I won't be voting Conservative in 2024.

In tweet 3/5 Lord Cruddas says under the party's constitution it can add Mr Johnson's name to the ballot.

The author of the tweet is the Associate Editor of the Telegraph, so maybe look it up?

Definitely looks like it will be Sunak vs.Truss in the final two, with the majority of Badenoch's votes going to the puppet.

Not sure I know how. You are the one posting gossip from Twitter so I thought you might care to do so. If not, no worries. I will disregard the post until I see some more detail.

I don't care. That's what she is. Stoking the flames of a culture war that BAME and LGBTQ+ people are the victims of. Dislike it all you want, it's still true.

Just giving an opinion. It sounds like ‘uncle Tom’ to me or the rhetoric against other ‘traitors’ used throughout history. It’s obviously fine for you not to care as well.

Dishy Rishi must be ****ing fuming. He's pissed every MPs vote by miles - but the moment the ballot goes to the demented membership he's gonna get beaten by Mavis from Coronation Street and spend the next 2 years as junior minister at the White Fish Authority.
