Please send this letter to Conservative MPs

How does it work if you don’t have a Conservative MP for your area?

My MP has already declared for Kemi. I'm not sure women's rights is top of his priorities but I have written to him in the past and he said he shares my concern.

My MP's already declared for Richie. I suppose it could be worse.

Right. So she'll appeal to MPs. But do those who do well at the dispatch box automatically go down well with voters? Starmer gives a good account of himself at PMQs, but has all the charisma of a wet dishrag when out and about with the public.

But anyway, yes, it seems that Mordaunt has been caught in a blatant lie and there's hay to be made with it. Fingers crossed that does for her. I reckon the Tories as a whole will be suspicious of her wokery in any case.

I used it as the basis for my email but heavily edited it...

She's actually very good at the dispatch box and has had quite a few epic moments - one in particular with Rayner.

I still don't think she'll win though.

She's dropped the ball with her claims about keeping "mother" in the legislation and other candidates know damn well that's not true.

They'll go for the jugular on that one.

I work for an MP

copy & paste emails may get ignored. MUCH BETTER to write in your own words what your concerns are.

Email sent and confirmation received.

How the fuck is Mordaunt apparently out the front like this?

Even leaving aside her terrible zeal for throwing women's rights under the bus, what has she done exactly to warrant so much favour? I mean, I know it's not exactly a stellar field of competitors she's up against, but still. Really??

Excellent- thank you.

Mine hasn't declared for anyone yet.

Will get a letter in.

anyone but Mordaunt. Shit

I've just read that they need 20 supporters to even stand the first round of voting which means only Rishi and Mordaunt (God help us).

Kemi Badenoch and Liz Truss badly need the support of some of the undeclared MPs and some of the support from the MPs who clearly are going nowhere like Suella Braverman and Sajid Javid. I think many of their supporters would go to Liz and Kemi.

So if you have not emailed your MP and can do so, please do it tonight!

And If your MP is Sajid Javid, Suella Braverman or one of their supporters (see here docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ffqemZ-YOi7AvAw8HbxmMd0vIbsOXLZ7KpAmNQPD2r8/htmlview?pru=AAABghIDLx0*BEenXQcPcOs6a31JIXq5bw#gid=0 ) please ask them to consider dropping out and giving Liz or Kemi their support!

Whilst Rishi would not be a disaster it would be better to have woman PM who really gets our predicament.

Thank you for flagging it up - a good idea but a terrible letter. Why oh why that para about Boris going asap. It is beside the point and many of the people who WRN want to send the letter may not agree. Many of the conservative MPs who are recipients will certainly not agree, so why mention it when the important thing is who is the next Prime Minister.

They should have involved Conservatives For Women in the writing of it. They would have got a better letter.

Like a PP I have copied and pasted the letter into my own email system, re-written large bits of it and sent it myself.

I have sent the letter but adapted it as it is currently drafted as if you might be a Conservative Party member and I am not. It also comments on the need for Boris to go quickly which I don't think is actually relevant and in fact I am actually a bit uncomfortable about parties (any party) knifing elected PMs with large majorities.
So if you are not 100% happy with the set wording as I wasn't, you can still do it by cutting and pasting.

I sent my own note to my MP earlier today saying exactly that.

Got a reply back within the hour saying they couldn't agree with me more, the next PM must know what a woman is.
