Are MPs allowed to switch their nomination from one to another ? 

Boris never formally stood so his provisional nominations are free to switch to Mordaunt. I imagine some will to stuff it to Rishi out of spite as he and Boris loathe one another.

Rishi v Penny. Penny will get votes from Boris followers as they won't vote brown.

If it goes to members, she could well win

 

 

Much though it pains me to say it, the MPs casting their vote do not have as bad a record for acting out their racist urges as the fee paying members.

I wondered the same. I guess they've got that 2pm deadline and up till then, anything goes. Still time for Boris to un-withdraw!

Rishi has possibly the most beautiful constituency in the UK (Richmond, Yorks). I have many fond memories holidaying there.

 

Congratulations to the new Prime Minister.

 

Just reminding you that 'Rishi' hates folk like you.

Honestly? I think he was trying to get some concession maybe on the Privileges Committee, free access to Chequers, Peerage, Some cushy job somewhere in return for pulling out and giving a nod and a wink to his acolytes to support them.
I reckon both Sunak and Mordaunt saw through the bullshit and sent him on his way empty handed. Maybe just paying for his flight back to his holiday 😂

Could be.   Its the 2nd time he's pulled out at the last minute (politically speaking I mean, not  umm..... you know  ).     He came up with a similar excuse when Teresa May ended up being the only candidate to succeed Cameron.

 

Maybe Carrie's had a quiet word to remind him that he should be spending time with their 2 young children !!

It has to be Rishi. He has over 100 Mps while Fat ******* has not. You chose which fat ******* I'm talking about. BJ or PM. A couple of smelly fat disgusting scum. 

 

 

How will the Brexiters, Loyalists, Unionists cope with a non white PM.  😨 Riots everywhere. BNP, UKip, NF , Brexit Party, ENP and The Tory membership will take to the street. And Hoose Jock Uncle Tamson will ask if he can get a game .

 

You are permanently raging. Absolutely everything makes you angry. Each and every post you make spews bile. 

 

You are the very definition of gammon. 😂

I don't see Rishi getting it now. They will put Mordaunt up against him, which will lead to her winning their members vote.

 

As I said on the Boris thread. I must've been deluded to think they'd allow him to win.

For a thread you started entitled Rishi Wins! In which subsequently only things that strengthen Rishi's likelihood of winning have occurred, that is quite the u-turn from yourself. 😄

I didn't particularly mind Sunak and think he at the very least looks like a leader in stature (I know, how very dated, but I do think it helps get buy in).

 

I hope he wins.

I did mean the membership of the Tory party. The actual MP's will put up with him as he's the best, in fact only, chance they have in next GE. 

Won't work though as Truss destroyed credibility in a way that even Boris couldn't manage.

He just quite clearly should have taken over from Boris and it probably would have been relatively okay.

 

He does suffer from having critics on both sides though:

 

For the Tories (some):

 

- wrong colour 

- tax increases and social spending 

 

For others (some): 

 

- sang happy birthday or sowt 

- forced people at gun point to 'eat out to help out' 

- rich and no commoner friends

- wife's tax arrangements

I hope I’m wrong but If he gets the gig, he will do a decent job, relative to the absolute basket case of our finances and the economy. Let’s be honest here, there is absolutely nobody in that Cabinet of nobodies that has his financial background and previous experience.
 

Still gonna be a sh**show though and things are gonna get bad - real bad.

He's responsible for the financial mess - you're surely not trying to pin it all on Truss and Kwasi?

I agree it just a case of how bad things get and think he is the right man to make it least bad. Surely you want to be right though ? Labour won’t be any better imo and independence is sone way off.

Yeah definitely should have replaced Boris. Who doesn’t have critics though ? We are in the unfortunate position of the current Tory party being in complete turmoil and constant infighting.

Very true, I just feel for those critics they're quite emotive things and in today's world everyone sees their opinion as right so it can be even harder to succeed with detractors on both sides.

The fact that Kwaisi and Truss were following a fiscal path spouted by the Tufton Street puppeteers made them extremely dangerous which is why the markets reacted the way they did. They take the full blame for that debacle and Rishi warned Truss that her policy would end in tears.

 

Sunak, Truss and Kwasi were part of the Cabinet that contributed to the financial mess of the U.K. prior to the mini-budget. Albeit that one has to recognise the very negative impacts inflicted by Brexit, COVID and Ukraine. I am by no means a cheerleader for Sunak or the Tories but recognise that if we have to endure another year of this Junta (that’s how long they’ll last IMHO), then Sunak is the least worst option.

Well get rid of them at the same time either way imo. 2024 at a General Election. Of course, there's a risk he does a great job and puts them on a path to win again...but then he'd have done a great job so not really an issue I guess.

[manaliveits105]

Rishi will be good for steadying the ship along with Jeremy Hunt - some stability and sail on to the next GE which they will win 

- will do wonders for relationships with India as well - making Britain Great again - the racist smurfs will hate it .

They will hang on till the next GE regardless. Can’t see anything changing that so no matter how much you don’t like them we would all benefit from them doing a good job.

The recent turmoil is not his fault - but everything else is - his job as chancellor is to steer the ship through the troubles you mentioned, he always made it worse - "eat out to help out" debacle a prime example.

He’s never spent anytime with his 7-10 other kids so why would he do it now? Depends on what the nanny looks like I suppose.
