Penny Mordaunt has surged into a prime position in the Tory leadership race, just hours after formally launching her bid.

They all 'launched their bids' (well, maybe not all, but most) months ago. Penny Mordaunt had loads of declared supporters before she had even said a word publicly.
I see, I don’t know much about her really.
but just seen she’s had a bit of a roasting over gender issues or something ..

They’re on the list.
Who shot Suella? The Tories have! Ewing love to see it.
The thing is the blue rinse party faithful who will have the final say, with an average age in their 70s, hate dishy Rishi. More Pishy Rishy from their perspective.
Yeah.... it's slim pickings but she's thick as pig shit.
Indeed they are !
The great thing about this race is that they're all cunts and none of them will get a grip of what's going on in the real world which lead to more resignations, votes of non confidence more infighting, they're literally gonna turn on each other and tear each other apart. It'll be glorious. Strap yourselves in, grab the popcorn because they're gonna implode and we are gonna have the best seats to watch it.
I don't want them to implode or rip each other apart. I want a competent government who is bothered about the numerous issues we have facing the country at the moment.
This isn't even a haha point and laugh while the world burn, cos we'll end up burning also.
We've had too much greed and focus on non issues while reality is causing people real issues in life and people have not been supported through those issues.

You won’t get it from any of these fuckers.
All you’ll get is more Brexit Balls - because they can never admit what a colossal fuck up it was - and even the hint of softening the stance on Europe will send fuckwits like Baker & Francois into a rage.
They’ll have to deliver tax cuts - which will inevitably lead to Austerity 2.0 as essential services get curbed - with the easy win being freezing public service wages in the midst of a cost of living crisis.
The rabid right will start wanging on about privatising whatever’s left - health, Police, whatever - while also filling their own personal coffers in the process.
Somewhere in the middle of all that, while Boris is on overseas speaking tours telling everyone how fucking great he was at getting all the big calls right, it’ll finally dawn on everyone how empty & meaningless the phrases “get Brexit done”, “levelling up” and whatever the next slogan actually is.
I’m not saying Starmer is necessarily any better.
It's become all about ideological purity, unfortunately. I know it's tories talking to tories, but no-one is capable of moving beyond positions, because positions are the thing that matter. Same thing happened under Corbyn. You no longer had to make the case as to why your positions would result in things being better. That's why none of the candidates can explain how they'd pay for tax cuts. It's why they can't make the case for a smaller state. The members demand purity of ideology, otherwise you're not a proper tory. Had the same thing with RINOs in the US. Had the same thing within Momentum and their demand to deselect MPs and their hatred of centrist Labour MPs. You have to align to a particular ideology; that's now become pretty much the only thing that matters.
EDIT: I don't how that ends. I sort of assume that it's one of those phases whereby someone non-ideological, more pragmatic and responsive will come into power, sweep up in the process and then everyone else will try to be like that. I dunno if that's Starmer; probably not, because he doesn't seem to have any idea other than trying not to upset people who might not vote for him.

If the people could barely grasp basic stuff to do with infection rates, I don't know what they think will happen now that they're suddenly worried about their finances? It won't end well, but hey ho follow the financial advice. Trust the financial advice, it is safe and effective, they're experts after all, or something.
I agree - I don’t know how your opinion can ever recover from those bad suggestions.
Ok… maybe the No War thing was a good idea - but you forget to mention it to Vlad the Mad.
Why?
Why what?
