I am thinking Gove as he seems to be the hit man of PMs, what's your thoughts?
My money's on Starmer.
Conservatives will eat themselves over the next week.
Probably mordaunt, but whoever it is this chaos will continue
How is that lettuce doing at the moment?
Boris! Johnson!
Mad Nads is already wanting Bozo back.
It's worrying when Boris looks like a good choice for stability!
David Attenborough is our only hope.
But I fear st66 answer is a more likely reality.
Hunt has apparently ruled himself out
No idea but they can't be worse than Truss......
I'm wrong aren't I.
Mordaunt, then Starmer.
Hunt has apparently ruled himself out
As has Gove apparently.
Rishi I reckon.
Larry the cat !
They al p155 in the same pot - until the whole political system is completely reformed we'll continue with this circus regardless of who is 'in charge'.
Dig up an old one?
Not *that old one I hope
They want their rabid racist voters back , so it will be Braverman.
Sunak would make sense as the highest polling amongst MPs last time.
Braverman and badenoch (sp) have both said they will stand. Probably get about 10 mp's to vote for them between them
I think Mordaunt. With Sunak in a top job (maybe Chancellor and shove Hunt back to Health for a laugh).
Rishi, according to members of his campaign team
Surprised to see Sunak narrowly ahead in the odds, the Tories usually like more of a change from previous regimes...

We need a boring competent option like John Major. But do the Tories do boring and competent?

That would be fantastic, but alas will never happen. Even though they say there will be a members vote, there won't be. Sunak and Mordaunt will be the choice of MPs, and the one with least votes will step down in favour of the other denying the members a choice. Sunak probably a shoe-in given he had so much support before from MPs and can claim the high ground by saying he was right in the campaign against Truss.

Well Gove is competent, but he's not interested in this particular poisoned chalice.
Should be Mordaunt - but it will be Rishi.
May

Apparently BJ will ensure that will never happen. Hasn't forgiven him for the "stab in the back."
Apparently BJ will ensure that will never happen.
Lets hope so. The more trouble Johnson et al cause the more likely it is that we'll have an election. It won't happen but the best scenario would be an irreconcilable split between the two wings of the party resulting in them losing a no confidence vote. The other option is if voters hit the streets and force their hand. That's even less likely.
I don't think Johnson has the power or the friends to ensure anything in parliament anymore.
Boris Johnson is expected to stand in the Tory leadership contest, the Times is reporting.
Looks like Boris had officially put his hat in the ring.
Bozo thinks he should be back in the national interest apparently
Who would actually want it? who ever it is is on a hiding to nothing
So, no quiet succession if Johnson is really going to insist on a run off?
Boris Johnson is expected to stand in the Tory leadership contest
This just gets better and better.
Betting odds on Sunak are 1:1
I reckon it'll be a close one - Truss is ahead in the polls but Sunak still has strong support in some quarters.
Wait. There's another leadership race?
Bozo thinks he should be back in the national interest apparently
Did he mention which nation?
I reckon ‘billionaire’ Rishi…..
@binners Thay are crap odds what a crazy world I would have thought 100/1 for that bet only Winston has done it before?
I still think the Tory membership will do it
I think he had pulled the biggest grift of modern time.
Surely Armando Iannucci as he's been the mastermind behind this 'reality' show all along?
Is there a way to register total disbelief and resign any hope for my future or those around me at the hands of this or any 'government'. We are post-politics now anyway right?
Miriam Margolyes would be my first choice by the way.
