Smarkets have this market on whether the Tories will do a 2016 and choose their new leader without the swivel eyed loonies Tory party members having the final say.

I'd say the members are more sensible than them.
The ‘Leadsome clause’ added to the 1922 ctte rules.
The mystery with the Tories is how any safe seat selection committee ever manages to decide that the likes of Bone or Swayne or Chope or Fabricant are the best people to represent their local area for decades to come…?
Seriously - you’ve got a safe seat - so should have a veritable panoply of talent wanting to be your MP - how does such a place ever end up being represented by the likes of a brain-dead bigot like Chope?
EDIT. my Dad ain’t no swivel eyed loony 😍
Edit - Can't believe I have been beaten to it!

The heat is creeping upwards in the forecast, right? And why are there two seperate amber warnings - they appear to be the same, and over the same time period?
Or top-heavy factions

They reckon with the speed restrictions in place a 2hr 9 minute from Sheffield to St Pancras will be closer to 4 hrs.
LNER are not operating a trains between King's Cross and Leeds/York.
The difference with 2016 is that May was clear favourite in the members polling as well as being overwhelming winner with MPs.
This time Sunak may be ahead with MPs, but Truss or Mourdant may be ahead in members polls.
I expect Sunak would also believe he can outperform those two in a campaign and at debates, so has a chance of turning things around even if he's initially behind with members.
Raab attacks Truss’s record as Tory leadership race enters critical 72 hours

Truss and Badenoch and Mordaunt take it to the membership even if Rishi wins MPs as they likely win and the ERG would demand it with Truss and Badenoch against Sunak or Mordaunt. Rishi also takes it to the membership if Truss and Badenoch win the MPs vote as they are more hardline than Mordaunt and ideologically further from him and his supporters.
I need someone to laugh at my jokes.....
Remember to wear a bra and take a brolly
Her successor as equalities minister, Kemi Badenoch, also running for the leadership, has said Mordaunt’s stance in the past was to push for self-identification. That contradicts Mordaunt’s insistence in Friday’s Channel 4 debate that she was “never in favour of self-ID”.
Badenoch told the Sunday Times: “I’m not going to call her a liar, I think it’s very possible she genuinely did not understand what she was signing off. It’s a very complex area.”
Despite what HY is about to tell you about Boris having no choice, the fact is Boris didn’t need to - once he won 80 seat majority for oven ready Brexit his deal sailed through the house.
Some people, like Hammond, thrown out a party had been in entire life having rebelled a whip just once.
Anyone want to argue the Conservative party not struggling this week because of that vandalism by Boris. Come on. I am happy to put you in your place in that argument 😠
"I'll get Brexit re-done and put more pounds in people's pockets if made Prime Minister."
I genuinely think Penny might be a moron.
I can think of four Tory members on here who don't, for example.
Liz Truss, like Boris Johnson has failed her way upwards. Even she is looking around and saying "can anyone else believe this?"
Limerick 2/5
Kilkenny 15/8
Limerick highly fancied to win their third in a row, but it's 28C in Dublin this afternoon and Kilkenny have a younger team, so that may be to their advantage.
Anyway, the latter is currently backing probably the most centrist candidate left in, so I think you may be barking up the wrong tree. It's the nutters with the Liz Truss complex you really need to worry about.
'What Tory leadership candidate would you be most worried about fighting in a general election?' - #Ridge
Labour's @bphillipsonMP: "I'm not worried about any of them."
He is on stronger ground on inflation.
I like TT, but it maybe because I once knew his uncle, and he seems decent.
If you think none of this lot are no good, is there any conservative that you rate?

I was trying to be complimentary to @HYUFD. It obviously didn’t work.
Meanwhile 25.3degC in our living room with the curtains drawn.
Ben Wallace is the only vaguely sensible one I've seen a bit from.
The Nazi emphasis on the healthy body, even on bodily perfection, was a good thing imo, which they completely ruined, and effectively abolished from polite discourse, by misidentifying the cause of it as racial, when it was environmental, and within that, primarily nutritional. And when the Nazis got something wrong, boy did they get it wrong.
Do you have a perfect body, LuckyGuy?
And if not, why not?
7 degrees in less than 3 hours.
Sunak is vaguely competent, the rest are pretty hopeless.
I'd have been wheeled into the gas chamber - no doubt.
