Lol!😁
Fill your boots G2K, I can defend this shower no longer. 🤷‍♂️
Perhaps Sunak was the better choice out of the two candidates?

That's how "your" party got so effectively hijacked.
I don't think it was so much of a hijacking, as Farage resigned didn't he? ;)

So you don't think they wouldn't be fighting like rats in a sack if he did become PM?

He was never the answer. I do ponder on the question of Penny...she may have been a better bridge. Good presentation too.

From an electoral perspective, Mordaunt was the clearly superior choice. You'd have hated her.

Didn't say that, I said "Perhaps" Sunak was the better choice, What he said during the hustings has turned out to be 100% true. Ms Mourdant was the memberships favourite but the MP's thought otherwise, This whole leadership contest and their mechinisims on how to run it surely must be looked at by the 1922 Commitee?

Badenoch (and Gove pulling the strings) remains my dream team. The country wouldn’t wear another leadership election so it would have to be a parliamentary party stitch-up were it to happen. What a mess.

A big mess indeed. Sadly, we all suffer from the egos on show.

Eh? Where does old Fartage come into it? As far as I know he FLOUNCED from the party as far back as 1993.

I'm referring to those "brave" guys and (a few gals) of the ERG - the ones who were always quick to talk the talk but never to actually put up. Plus those shady stink-tanks in Tufton (or is it Bufton) Street who slink Inthe shadows, pulling the strings.

Which party is that then?
The moribund Brexit Party or the erstwhile UKIP?

Personally I'd welcome either or both back again to split the right wing vote!
