I think it’s fair to say Sunak doesn’t have the backing of the membership.

I can’t think of a better endorsement.

Indeed.

I'm cautiously optimistic that he could be our best PM since Cameron. Not a high bar but a step in the right direction.

PS in due course I may decide I'm completely wrong about this.

No one cares what they think anymore as they made a right pigs breakfast of the last election, they need to change the rules so just the MPs vote when the party is in government, can't have that shambles again.

We should have a GE, but I think if he gets the gig we will at least have a PM with some sense of right and wrong, he’d also hopefully choose a team based more on ability than blind loyalty, which might help. They’re scrambling around now though, desperate to steady the ship and come together, I think Sunak could do the former but not the latter.

They are an embarrassment now, you’d think Truss was about as low as it could go, but the second coming of Trolley lays bare how stupid, self obsessed and irresponsible the current Tory party has become. They all need to go, starting with Rees Mogg, the man whose mother wasn’t fully dilated.

Precisely. Racist, blue-rinse cretins who have done enough damage.

Agreed - I think he is quite capable and probably likely to put much more emphasis on putting talented people in key roles. No more Nadines. I can see him relegating Mogg types to the sidelines on the basis of, well, what planks like him say. It just has no place in a competent government.

He knows how to make money, isn't that someone who you want working for you?

I’d know how to make money if my family were billionaires.
He’s just a totally out of touch with reality geek, with very little real life or in fact political experience.
I guess we will find out soon the extent of his (family, not him of course) tax ‘arrangements’ in more detail too, whilst ramping up tax for everyone else to try to claw back all the money he gave away to fraudsters he can’t be ars*d to get back. Plus, making buisness taxes so high here companies will ship out as many jobs as possible overseas. Never mind. It’s got WEF puppet written all over it.

I’m not a bojo supporter by the way. But I can’t abide Sunak.

It isn't about your personal feelings.
As you aren't billionaires, that particular comedy won't ever be borne out. As a country we already have money to work with, we aren't totally skint.
Who in the Conservative party is going to do a better job and why?

I agree, but lets be honest, Rishi Sunak was the best of a bad lot. All he'll be able to do is damage control before the next GE.

So, promise something thinking you will never have to actually do it, be forced to enact it, campaign badly for one side, lose and resign.

I honestly really don’t know. I’d guess the best ones would not want to touch the job with a barge pole in the current climate.
Not Rishi though, as he’s totally oblivious, and is another one who just wants to be PM for the sake of it. Remember, he had already had a glossy media style ‘ready for Rishi’ cheesy video produced months and months before he resigned over things bojo had apparently only just done.

Done deal, Rishi will be announced tomorrow I am sure.

I wonder if he can stay in control until the next general election?

Yeah it was always going to be a set up, no chance of members being allowed to vote again.

If it goes to a vote I'd think he's not going to get it. Section on the news tonight encapsulated the problem with him....even his constituents think he's out of touch & not actually interested in anyone else's view...and he has all the empathy of a cardboard box.

Starmer will have a field day reminding all & sundry about the out of touch, millionaire, ex banker PM on a weekly basis.

Thank goodness, the members has shown that they are utterly out of touch at the best of times.

Starmer is also a millionaire; it would be a bit hypocritical.

If he gets to be PM, I hope his Mum will buy him some trousers that reach his shoes.

[nigelpugh7]

So do we reckon it’s a done deal today then?

If so who’s going to hold a book on the number of days he will last as PM?

I will start with he won’t make it to Christmas so about 62 days then!

He will be in today, and take us into the General Election, whenever that will be.

[PositronicRay]

I think bravo that he's taken the job on.

A truly philanthropic act.
