“Robert Jenrick has stolen all of Priti Patel’s people, hasn’t he, and Suella Braverman’s people as well?”

The Tory leadership election will be “a long slog” as the right side of the party have not pushed forward a clear frontrunner, says The Sunday Times columnist Charlotte Ivers.

    Rats in a sack. 😂🍿🥳🍷😂
  • Given the party membership's last choice was Liz Truss, it may not be unfair to say that hopes are not high.....
  • I don't think the nation is as transfixed with the leadership contest as Times Radio is.
  • @Pigblossom
    The funny thing is how quickly the Tory leadership contest seems utterly irrelevant
  • @davidhall7744
    Mel Stride channelling Francis Urquhart 😂 Does anybody apart from the Tories actually care whatever old nag is shackled to lead the Tory cart? 😂
  • @Geoff31818
    It’s astounding how friendly the times are still being towards the tories
  • Hopefully the continued decline of the incompetent Tories 🤞
  • 'I saw how grotesquely unqualified so many of us were.' - Rory Stewart, 2020 (!)
  • None of the suggested Tory leadership contenders that have emerged so far have any understanding either of how angry voters are with the Tories or how divorced from the real world interests and concerns of voters they are. If the Tories are ever to be a major force in British politics again, they have to reconnect with the centre ground of public opinion.
  • Wow. We could have the power to chose who loses at the next General Election. What an honour. 😂😂😂
  • What about a policy on social services local government housing, tax ,brixit,?
  • @smarcier2719
    Closing the hatch after the good ship incompetence has sunk 🚢 ?
  • @DC.409
    Interesting, clearly Jeremy Corbyn is still living for free in the collective consciousness of the Conservative Party mind, for them to adopt the Corbyn clause for membership. What possibly could go wrong.
  • @garyholyhead
    Tories are like a bunch of duds from the Apprentice, That show has a lot to answer for
  • @musicman5075
    Joining the tory party now will not give you a say in who the next PM will be because their next leader will not become PM. It will, however, mean you only have an 83% chance of living till 2029
  • @BurningTNT
    Why not join the tory party to get a say in their leader? Maybe because I don’t want to give them money to campaign with, and would rather they continue to struggle with funding Also madness to suggest EU countries will adopt Rwanda schemes, being in the EU gives them tools to deal with the migrant crisis collectively and we lost it when we left, that’s why the number of refugees keeps going up
  • @alanthe2
    We should just have compulsory migration for everyone. Every ten years staggered, every single person has to move to a different country. Problem solved.
  • Gotta love when you describe a Tory doing precisely nothing impressive as "quietly competent" in the same sentence
  • The MPs will pick one from the right and one from the left. Note that it only takes one-third plus one, or 41 out of 121 Tory MPs, to get onto the vote by members. The members will then pick the one on the right. So it looks like a safe bet that Tom Tugendhat will lose to some right-wing lunatic.
