What a high class field we are left with

Wasn't batsh*t crazy enough.

Far too centrist, Tory party members didn't like it.

Members haven't voted yet. Fortunately they are batshiit, so my fingers are crossed for Bad Enoch.

 

[Capybara]

And Jimmy Dimly.

He's a massive outsider. Have ruled him out

Yes he’ll be next out the race

He's almost certainly in the last two. Which is where he'll likely fall, unless a bout of relative common sense breaks out in the Tory membership.

I suppose of those remaining he does the best impression of a normal human being (very, very low bar obviously).

Think the Tory members like their swivel eyed lunacy as obvious as possible though. So assume one of the other two will beat him when it comes to their vote.

Off topic but I've just discovered there is a Labour MP called 'Baggy Shanker' would be a good name for a Labour Leader I think

But 'Shaggy Banker' would be ideal for a tory leader.

Was going to say the same

 

[kuepper]

The sensible one's gone then........so good news for Labour I suppose. The membership will be nonplussed if Jenrick goes and there's no white person to vote for

 

[atypical_boro]

I totally forgot this was going on tbh.

I can see Badenoch going next. Cleverly will pick up most of Tom’s centrist vote.

Jenrick will be the next one out and if it goes between Badenoch and Cleverley for the members.. they will go for Badenoch.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Cleverley out! Didn't expect that.

It's win-win from now on :D

 

[dribble]

It’s going to be Jenrick,

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

Cleverley out! Didn't expect that.

It's win-win from now on :D

Just heard.....! OMG.....they are really heading for destruction or another way to put it is they want to become reform and win back the other loons at the expense of any middle of the roaders...

 

[EI_Owen]

Cleverley out! Didn't expect that.

It's win-win from now on :D

He’s been absolutely screwed by some of his colleagues. He’s lost 2 votes since yesterday…I think there has been a bit of vote lending by Badenoch’s lot.

We are going to have a very right wing opposition. I wonder how that’ll work with the Tory moderates.

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

Because of the racism aspect - i expect it is Jenrick all the way.....

But, Yes, very right wing lunatics as the main opposition....they will get torn at by the Lib Dems and anyone who isnt Reform....

I kind of hope it is Bad Enoch because she really is BAT $HIT CRAZY on steroids...
