      I know very little about those being talked about as the next Prime Minister but going on the basis that nobody could be worse than BJ I am relaxed about who gets the job, as long as it’s not Liz Truss.

      So I’m sure there are members who have a deeper knowledge of those being touted so it would be good to hear your views and comments.

          Maybe

          Jeremy Hunt

          Penny Mordaunt

          Tom Tugendhat

          Liz Truss

          Not really

          Nadine Dorries (Didn’t know as culture secretary ch4 was owned by the government)

          Grant Shapps (handed millions to Govia Thameslink Railways (GTR) after a few days earlier fining them)

          Definitely not

          Sajid Javid

          Nadhim Zahawi

          Suella Braverman

          Kemi Badenoch

          Priti Patel

          Rehman Chishti

          Rishi Sunak

            Kezo Sunak is one of the favourites to win and I think he would be a “safe pair of hands”. The Tories must go for someone like him after the BJ debacle. Liz Truss is the opposite to this she is very similar to BJ in that she is easily swayed and doesn’t appear very intelligent or to have a grasp of the facts .

            She has the initial 20 votes but I can’t see her as a serious contender, I have been wrong before ?.

            Truss now joins Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt and Tom Tugendhat as the contenders who have so far reached the support of 20 MPs ahead of tonight’s 18:00 BST deadline.

              I don’t think a “safe pair of hands” is what the country needs, Brydo. It needs someone dynamic to tackle the issues.

              Starmer wants to waste everyone’s time tomorrow calling a vote of no confidence which he will obviously lose.

                I’m sure I read Sunak recently spent a week in the USA speaking with big health insurance firms. Will this lead to privatisation of the NHS? Is getting private firms involved with the NHS a bad thing? My GP already sends us to a private hospital for scans.

                  He has a lot of stuff hanging over his head we know of  does our iffy fishy rishi.

                  As @Jojoe pointed out he wants to privatise the NHS.

                  What the Tory’s want/need is someone who will win elections and fishy rishi isn’t the one to do that.

                    I think Mordaunt is a dark horse.

                      She has definitely been called worse.

                              Kezo as they say “I’ve no skin in the game” but I think he would be pretty stupid to openly go to America to discuss privatising the NHS. I think it’s clear the BJ groupies are working hard to ensure he doesn’t get the job which is fine, it’s a dirty game, but to offer liz Truss up as a sort of mini me BJ is the wrong horse to bet.

                                They tried that wigwam remember Brexit etc what you suggest is the opposite of what we need.

                                    Eight candidates make it onto the ballot for the Conservative Party leadership contest
                                    The chair of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady, has announced which candidates had received the support of at least 20 MPs needed
                                    Sajid Javid and Rehman Chishti withdraw from the contest just minutes before the deadline
                                    The eight candidates that have made it onto the ballot are, in alphabetical order: Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, Jeremy Hunt, Penny Mordaunt, Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Tom Tugendhat and Nadhim Zahawi
                                    Successful contenders will go through to a vote on Wednesday, with the final two candidates selected before the end of next week
                                    Transport Secretary Grant Shapps earlier pulled out and endorsed former chancellor Sunak, along with Deputy PM Dominic Raab
                                    Meanwhile, Johnson loyalists Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nadine Dorries have backed Liz Truss
                                    The winner will be announced on 5 September

                                      Brydo. Brexit is still work in progress!

                                      Looks like it’s Sunak versus either Mordaunt or Truss.   Not very inspiring…

                                            Hopefully Rees-Mogg and Dorries backing Truss should sabotage her bid.

                                              I would of liked to have seen Ben Wallace enter, but he has prioritised his family over constant ridicule.

                                              Personally the remaining candidates don’t float by boat as becoming PM, nor are they election winners. So if they don’t call one when they come into office, we only have untill May 24 to vote them out.
