Does it get signed just by Grant or do the other 3 have to sign it as well?
I was only aware of another 2 names ?If there is a third then it just goes to show that the very best people want to join the tories.
On the other hand it's been a great week for Grant Shapps he hasn't put a reported foot wrong. He may not have stepped outside his house all week but that's not the point.
In the event that Rishi is forced out of office by other spineless MP's who want to get rid of their leader a replacement must be able to take over.
There is a wealth of talent within the Tory party (just as there is in the Labour and Lib Dem parties). This pool of potential leaders will need to be narrowed down and Grant may well be the best replacement leader.
By staying out of trouble he may be best placed to be the man who saved the Tories.

52 no-confidence letters could be reached after the local elections in May. Or rather should be reached. The ego on this guy to think he can win?! beggars belief.
You always seem to know what’s right. What would you suggest the PM does? Seems to me he doesn’t particularly bring PM, but the position has its advantages. If you were him why would you throw in the towel - he clearly doesn’t care much for the prospects of his party.abzmike said:

Besides, the only change any new leader would make would make would be a swing to the right which would alienate even more of the electorate even if it might please the Party members.

Looks like Rishi's stance on the war on the motorist isn't going to be as popular as he'd hoped. Love the fact that they set out to prove something and tried to bury the report when it proved the opposite.

I think the key wording there is that is was a sample of people inside the LTN’s, and a majority liked them, which I’d say is entirely unsurprising https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/08/lo...

Sandals and a beard, that would be the second coming of Corbyn.carlo996 said:
Not sure why it’s a question? What’s up for debate is how badly Labour* will fk things up?
