Some Tory donors being told Boris will not run.

No need to drag it out any longer than necessary
Wrong type of darkie/superficially brown.
Bollocks.
He is already yesterday’s fish and chip wrapper - a failure to get the nominations shows that - and the country will be all the better for it.
So I wouldn’t be shocked . I’m confident though that Starmer will beat Sunak at the next GE.
Wouldn't that make him also the first PM to avow a religion other than Christianity?
The concern of a Corbynite for the sinister racist secret at the heart of another party is fucking touching, it really is.
It would be astonishing if there wasn't a substantial step forward for the Conservatives but going from 15% to 25% isn't exactly an election-winning position, is it?
As it seems I have to repeat to you and some of the others on here, the one thing you won't be seeing from Labour, the LDs or any other non-Conservative party is complacency. They know every vote has to be won and nothing can be assumed.
35 point poll leads are nice to look at but totally meaningless.
I suspect Labour are well prepared for a Sunak administration and have their attack lines ready. I also think they'll be much happier facing Sunak than Johnson - let's face it, in Sunak and Starmer there's not much charisma. It would be ideal for a Farage or Johnson to be leading a breakaway conservative movement.
I reckon the 235 to 120 could be very close to the final tally. Under those circumstances it's inconceivable that Johnson could lead his party in parliament. The real trouble would come if he still wanted the members to decide ... and won. Then we're in chaos-multiplied.
Paul Staines is a nasty piece of work, frankly.
'Enoch Powell was right, the darkies do now have the whip hand over white British people.'
I loathe him, I'll admit, and it will amuse me if his mad dash across the Atlantic, followed by mega-ramp, is all to show that he is no longer the big fish he thought he was. Except when wrapped in newspaper.
The fear of absolute carnage if the members vote for him pushes some of his support to jump ship in the next vote .
The point was badly stated, and it was right that she was reprimanded by her Party for saying what she did.
Voting intentions conducted by @JLPartnersPolls for Labour against every possible Tory leader…
Current:
🌹LAB: 51%
🌳CON: 25%
Johnson:
🌹LAB: 46%
🌳CON: 36%
Sunak:
🌹LAB: 46%
🌳CON: 35%
Mordaunt:
🌹LAB: 50%
🌳CON: 28%
(Caveat in that she’s widely unknown)
Not like Truss btw. Mps didnt have a chance to show loyalty before she torched the economy.
Rishi won't get much of a bounce. But he might slowly claw back some credibility and so limit losses at the next GE.
Labour can only get the first openly LGBT PM now, maybe Streeting
Long term strategy really isn’t his thing.
Team twat, i mean Truss, being a woman, a black guy etc, the issue was their policies not their gender or race.
Until I saw TSE's comment I hadn't even considered the matter.
Who was forced from office (under at least one interpretation) on June 28, 1926. And was back as PM (after constitutional crisis between WLMK and Gov. Gen Byng) on September 25, 1926.
By way of contrast, when incumbent Liberal PM Pierre Trudeau left office on June 4, 1979 it took him until March 3, 1980 to get back in.
Unless he can get to the 100 without them then the anonymous are worth zip at this stage .
All the bile raised towards Sunak is all to do with the betrayal of Boris Johnson, not his skin colour.
We had four non white people in a row as Chancellor, skin colour hardly mentioned, all the focus was on policies.
RIP Tories!

If you haven't practiced law you won't have heard the alienating language of the cultural elites - of clubs and school ties, of Classics and Greats, of Opera and Rugby. It is used, sometimes quite deliberately, by some judges to alienate those from the 'wrong' side of the tracks.

I openly admit to condemning Truss and the conservative party for the mess they have made over the last 6 weeks and before but not in the way you describe
On the subject of grammar, it has been bugging me for hours. Shouldn't Guido's spreadsheet be 'Who's backing whom?'

Dorchester Dorset or Dorchester Oxon?
I support Sunak because he's by far the best candidate.
We need to get beyond this.
I'm worried that the Daily Star will try and measure his premiership live against some sumac.
pure coincidence I know.
For the avoidance of doubt i am not accusing you of being a racist
You equivocated during the last contest, quite rightly, because Rishi is significantly flawed.
Nevertheless we must wish him well, and to come to power for Diwali is surely auspicious.
