Who will be the next Tory leader?

Bad for the nation, but hopefully good for an election....

On balance, yes. Now all we need is a better opposition.

So, today then. I predict a riot he will limp on.

My hopes aren't high, I have to admit.

Or just better politicians.

According to Brady, a number of letters specified that their letters were only effective after the Jubilee. Given the boos Johnson received, the delay hasn't helped the mood. (Norman's letter is excoriating.)

Probably. But it’s a secret ballot so there could be quite a few that say one thing but vote another way.

The curse of Naughtie strikes again.

I know it’s a word that understandably upsets some people, so spoilers.

We don’t know that all of the payroll vote remained loyal. There are quite a few with ambition. Truss? Javid? Even Sunak might think he can recover before the next GE.

Would Rory Stewart stand for leader do you think?

He’s not an MP, maybe not even a party member.

True enough but we also know that all on the government payroll have a financial incentive - keep the job, plus the perks and status - for backing the status quo. I'd expect the ''eligible'' contenders to have secretly voted against Johnson.

Frankly I wouldn’t trust any of them to tell the truth. Not one.

This is very interesting. Is it possible to analyse what the breakdown of a confidential ballot was?
