I thought Shapps was reported yesterday as a Johnson supporter?
We need someone who can provide stability and proven economic competence in these challenging times, and @RishiSunak is that person. That's why I'm backing him in the Conservative leadership contest
Grant Shapps was part of Team Big Dog in 2019, as official Keeper of the Spreadsheets during Boris's successful leadership campaign. It is possible someone, somewhere on the interwebs, extrapolated from that fact to presume wrongly Shapps's current allegiance.
"A Russian military plane crashed into a residential building in the Siberian city of Irkutsk on Sunday, the region's governor said, the second such crash in less than a week."
Russian aircraft maintenance (civil and military) was a special feature of the USSR. The civil stuff improved after 89, due to requirement from foreign manufacturers of aircraft and needing permission to enter operate abroad.
I rather think that sanctions will have caused things to go backwards.

Wasn't he spreadsheet guy on Liz too? Is he the only Tory who can use Excel? (I wouldn't be overly shocked).

you also wonder a bit if all their best mechanics and pilots are in Ukraine and Crimea rather than places like Irkutsk.
Plus how good are the planes that are not at the front are.
Also, how many spares they have for anything that goes wrong.
This was Nadhim Zahawi’s letter of resignation July 7th. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Stratford MP - has today backed his old boss for the leadership. Again. @bbcmtd will have reaction from the former Chancellor’s constituency at 4:35pm BBC1 #PoliticsMidlands https://twitter.com/ElizabethGlinka/status/1584160524475867136/photo/1

I think there was a joke doing the rounds that 3 of Boris's unnamed backers were him because of his previous alter egos. I presumed that meant he had backed him but now I guess the joke was just the second bit.

However. Russia's a bloody big place. With relatively few people. Seems strange they keep malfunctioning in populated areas. A spooky coincidence.
Or they could do what Liz Truss said, but did not have a convincing plan for, which is grow the economy. We do not need to fill the gap this week or this year; we do need to look as if we do have that aspiration. In any case, unless my calendar is badly wrong, those are decisions for future governments.

Mr Hunt could seek to reform generous capital gains rules and bring them more into line with general taxation, bringing in around £3.5 billion a year.
The Chancellor could also revisit the plan to increase stamp duty thresholds, the only other measure to survive from the mini-Budget - finding £2 billion.
One move, as called for by Labour, would be to abolish non-dom status. That would bring in an extra £3 billion a year to the Exchequer.
There are also a raft of wealth taxes Mr Hunt may look at, such as a council tax surcharge on properties worth over £2 million that would raise £1.4 billion.
We might as well have a Labour government, as we getting Labour policies.
Presumably keeping the corporation tax rise will bring in an extra £16bn? Extra council tax bands at the top end seems obvious. Windfall tax on energy companies?* Letting the tax thresholds rise below inflation will help too. £25bn. £30bn?
*Obviously this will be a one year only amount but would help with the overall debt burden and interest.

perhaps that's where the air fields are?
It’s not hard to conceive that crashes in more remote areas are not being reported.
It’s worth considering that aircraft safety is a hard win prize. In the 1950s the U.K. lost *hundreds* of Gloucester Meteor fighters in crashes. It took Winston Churchill asking why RAF pilots were dying at a rate that sounded like a war, for something to be done.

Problem for Labour is the Tories are outflanking SKS on the left.
I suspect she has been seduced by the backing she got in this year's contest to think that at some point in the future she might actually stand a chance, and wants to stick with the mainstream so as not to sour her record.
Delusional, of course - but then a lot of them might be thinking, if even Truss can make it to the top, why can't I?
And some of them will already be thinking about the LOTO election coming before too long; what state the party might be in by then and whether they might be in with a chance,
The Scottish Nationalists like to make a lot of the voting intention differences between England and Scotland to argue that Scotland is politically distinct from England, that therefore there isn't a unified political demos, and so Scotland needs to be independent.
The issue with the age-divide in voting intention is that this divide is so large, that those aged 65+ are clearly inhabiting a different political world to the rest of the country. Even after all that has happened over the last year, they would still vote for a Tory government over a Labour one. It suggests that Britain (or England & Wales if you prefer), is deeply divided among itself, arguably we no longer have a unified political demos, and this internal division will make tackling our problems much more difficult. Most likely the country is not even united over what the problems are.
A certain amount of division and dissent is healthy, and too much consensus is a bad thing, but there has to be some common ground to make progress. Until this divide is reduced I think it is going to act as a barrier to reform, whether from the left or the right.
So the weirdly capitalised 'Scottish Nationalists' are right then?
I make no judgement in that comment whether the ScotNats are right (the capitalisation seems fairly standard to me), but I'm playing with the idea of it being a framework with which to think about the political divisions in Britain today.
Arguably the age division is the source of the divide in Scotland too, just that it has expressed itself slightly differently to England. The latest YouGov had the SNP lead Labour 45-31 overall, but behind 34-36 among over-65s.
Resolving the age divide across Britain might resolve the question of Scottish independence, one way or another, much more clearly than the current stalemate.
Nationalist is not a proper noun therefore you are wrong to capitalise it.
It is part of their party
name, so it is as correct to capitalise it as it is to capitalise Labour or Conservative, or Labourite,
etc.
Nope, it’s the Scottish National Party and you were talking about people who supported independence for Scotland, not the party - at least that was the clear implication from your post
You wouldn't say "Scottish Nationals" though would you? You say "Scottish Nationalists".
I don't see why this is such a bone of contention.
Because it has F all to do with the political party and you made a right tit of yourself by not even knowing the party name , getting it totally wrong and then conflating it with Independence supporters.
I know perfectly well what the name of the SNP is.
To be fair, I didn't. I thought it was 'Scottish Nationalist' because that's what everyone calls them, even though it's apparently not their official name.
I think it's irrelevant though. People call Plaid Cymru 'Nationalists' and that isn't even remotely part of their name (or for the matter of that their policy offering)!
Stop digging Australia beckons
You'll roo the day you said that.
Edit - incidentally, on a point of punctuation, there should be a comma between 'digging' and 'Australia.'
One move, as called for by Labour, would be to abolish non-dom status. That would bring in an extra £3 billion a year to the Exchequer.
Does that rather assume that non-Doms say “fair enough, I’ll stay and pay” rather than “Foxtrot Oscar, I’m off”?
It isn't as if they pay anything of consequence, so good riddance. They can dodge taxes somewhere else.
They probably spend a lot via indirect taxation (property, services) which will be lost and the £3bn won’t be realised. But apart from that, great plan.

Wow that has to be a nail in the BBB coffin. Would never have expected to see her endorse Rishi
There's loads of random capitalisation on the thread this morning. Why so touchy about mine?
The SNP could have called themselves simply the Scotland Pary, or the Scotland Independence Party, or a myriad of other possible names if they didn't want the word "National" to be in their party name and didn't want to be associated with the concept of Nationalism.
a hundred years ago they wanted to be the Scottish party for the nation, hence "National". The fact that unionists try to always misname them and imply they are some nasty "Nationalist" organisation with its connotations is a recent thing since the resurgence of the right wing Imperialism in England.
If they didn't want to be portrayed as a nasty nationalist organisation they could try not being a nasty nationalist organisation.
Very witty , well half at least, back under your rock now.
I'm doubtful Mordaunt could pass her support to Johnson even if she wanted to. Both Sunak and Mordaunt are "moving on" candidates, and indeed Johnson removed her from the cabinet (albeit she was relatively interim at the fag end of May).
All her supporters could've gone for Johnson in the last few days if they had an interest in going backwards and, whilst Mordaunt might persuade a handful over, it's unlikely to be the numbers Johnson requires. Plus a hell of a gamble to take against an odds on favourite.
Going to be fascinating what BS Team Boris comes out with why he isn't actually running.
Boris has been in the Caribbean as he felt that was the best way to ensure his successor had a free run and wouldn't have to be concerned about big dog watching over her in parliament. When it became clear Truss would resign he cut short his holiday, rushing back to the UK to endorse Rishi Sunak in person. He felt this was the best way ensure that the party would unite around a new leader and that his supporters wouldn't then cause trouble for Sunak who is now in a position to lead a united party and therefore give Britain the leadership it needs.

'The Scottish Nationalist Party' for which it is short *is* a proper noun though.
Shocking ignorance on a politics site
Well, we all know your view that they're not nationalists...
Trying to hide schoolboy errors , not surprising the knowledge on Scotland is still totally lacking on here despite all the Scotch experts.
I've always thought of you and one or two other Scottish posters (Stuart Dickson) as more whine experts.
your spelling is shocking as well as your political nous, you added a stray "h" in wine there.
More of a wisky fan, I'd wager?
I do like a nice glass of wine , as well as a nice malt even cognac but in moderation mostly nowadays. Have wine with dinner and only occasional spirits so more wine drinker.

A proper question then. How did Alba respond to Sturgeons big announcement on what Independence actually looks like, and the transition. It was quite a big declaration of things unfortunately lost beneath all these other shenanigans.
Did Alba pretty much agree with it all, or do they actually have a different vision and path to achieving it?
Well it was utter bollocks , wishy washy rubbish as she has no intention of upsetting the apple cart. A mismash rubbished by anyone who knows about finances.

See new Tweets Conversation Nadhim Zahawi @nadhimzahawi · 6m I’m backing Boris. He got the big calls right, whether it was ordering more vaccines ahead of more waves of covid, arming 🇺🇦 early against the advice of some, or stepping down for the sake of unity. But now, Britain needs him back. We need to unite to deliver on our manifesto 1/2 Nadhim Zahawi @nadhimzahawi When I was Chancellor, I saw a preview of what Boris 2.0 would look like. He was contrite & honest about his mistakes. He’d learned from those mistakes how he could run No10 & the country better. With a unified team behind him, he is the one to lead us to victory & prosperity 2/2
If Johnson, Sunak and Mordaunt all reach 100 then there is a vote of Tory MPs to establish the final two AIUI.
How is that vote conducted? Is it secret? Do they just vote for their choice or do they give a second choice?
If Boris just crawls over the 100 line, then as I have said repeatedly, if he has enough to lend to Penny, Rishi should indeed lend enough to put Penny over the line. Easier to manipulate that vote to exclude Boris from the final 2 than to risk a straight Rishi v Boris members vote that Rishi may well lose.
Obs, the deal is then that Penny drops out for a immediate Rishi coronation.
Why the fuck should she do that? Hardly her problem if Sunak wants to game the system (again) because he's about as popular as a bucket of cold sick.

His outriders keep claiming he's running and definitely has the numbers, sound increasingly shrill, rather than confident.

Edit: shot that is
Mordaunt will pull out after Johnson does. She's in there as a contingency against him scraping the 100 and announcing he's in.
Should this occur the "anti Johnsons" will reshuffle and get her on the ballot too. Then they'll calibrate to eliminate Johnson on the MP vote.
Then she'll pull out (as agreed).
Point being, the end outcome - Sunak and no Members - is baked in. Plan A is with Johnson not standing. Plan B contingency for if he does.
What has she been offered?
Let the members pick him, and destroy his party
All her supporters could've gone for Johnson in the last few days if they had an interest in going backwards and, whilst Mordaunt might persuade a handful over, it's unlikely to be the numbers Johnson requires. Plus a hell of a gamble to take against an odds on favourite.
