So sounds like BoJo is finally about to be dragged out and I'm wondering who would be best to replace him in terms of being sympathetic to a GC's point of view?

I was thinking Savid Javid potentially? Any thoughts from anyone else?

On the right Ben Wallace seems most likely to me with Liz Truss a close second.

On the left Penny Mordaunt is probably more popular with the rank and file than Jeremy Hunt but I think the main left winger will lose quickly and need to get behind the centre.

Sajid Javid seems the most likely successful centre candidate to me. If he can beat off the likes of Zahawi quickly while the right are split he may not face Wallace in the members pole, in which case he should win.

Kemi Badenoch is very popular. I think she could be the leader after next.

I think Sunak and Gove have no chance. Sunak is an open goal to labour and Gove's skeletons are peaking out of the closet already.

I'm just worried there'll be a general election and Labour will get in and immediately implement self ID

I don’t find Truss embarrassing. Most of that is misogyny.

Are there in fact any politicians in the UK who actually want to serve the public?

What's is Ben Wallace's stance on biology,if anyone knows?
I wouldn't want Mordant.

Javid or Truss.

Dear God not Liz Truss or Nadine Dorres for that matter. Both would be a world wide embarrassment

For the sake of the country, I want someone competent and reasonably honest. Truss is keeping her head down. Abroad, apparently. Thinking back to when Thatcher resigned, IIRC Major was either Chancellor or Foreign Secretary at the time, and had a very convenient wisdom tooth extraction. He was incommunicado for days while everyone else thrashed about trying to get Thatcher to resign, and then jostling for position as her successor, and lo and behold, up pops Major, with fairly clean hands, and scoops the pool.

Baker’s putting his hat in.

Javid or Truss.

Hoardasurass · 07/07/2022 09:36

I think javid would be best as he has well and truly seen through everything is transphobic line that stonewall etc al push

gingercat02 · 07/07/2022 09:22

Apparently Suella Braverman, the Attorney General is interested

Politics is expediency. I'd not be confident that anyone who has expressed GC attitudes or sympathies would not discard them in a heartbeat if it suited them.
