[Frutos]

Mordaunt has dropped out.

Sunak wins.

Four quick positives for the country:

1. First British Asian PM
2. It’s not Johnson
3. It’s not Truss
4. The markets seem to have confidence in him.

That’s about it for good news.

Well well, the dimwit party finally reached the right result in the end. What a tortuous roundabout route to get there tho eh?

Southampton 1 Portsmouth 0.

The correct result - first grown up in charge since May, settle things down a bit for the next 2 years and then vote the fuckers out into oblivion.

First British PM born in the 80s.

How many weeks do we think this one will last?

How many bags of taxpayer’s money are going to go on redecorating the place this time? Maybe the billionaire father-in-law could stump up for it. I doubt the chinless wonder even had time to steam off Johnson’s old wallpaper in her 44 days in the hot seat.

Nigel Adams: Bob Blackman MP, Joint Secretary of the 1922 Committee…has independently verified the nomination paperwork and confirmed to me that Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP was above the threshold required to stand for the Conservative Party leadership in this leadership election.”

Don’t think flock wallpaper is that expensive

Braverman needs to get absolutely nothing in Sunak cabinet imho. Her completely engineered resignation t'other day should put paid to that. Let her cool her heels on the back benches for a while

Fair enough, I just find it interesting that you assert that the Tory members essentially will not "vote for a darkie", but the best man for the job of Labour leader has always literally been a man. And white. Is it just a freak happening that someone with dark skin and/or female has never been the best person to lead the Labour Party?

Strictly speaking, Liz Truss was the first woman to be elected by the Conservative membership.
The election for Theresa May didn't go past the MPs, and the election for Margaret Thatcher was only between MPs.
As far as Labour's concerned, it's absurd that a woman's never been elected and I'm not going to try and defend it.

Wow, well if true, I am surprised.
