This has got surprisingly complex. I was sure I was team Liz for her work as women's officer in rolling back Mordaunt's anti woman nonsense. Now Mordaunt and even Sue Pascoe ( Tory transwoman who transitioned in Sue's 50s after being married with kids) are positive about Liz and I wonder what sort of nonsense she has agreed to to attract them.

I hadn't seen the SP news. And I agree it's got complex. Sunak is (supposedly?) very far behind now, perhaps even such that he is saying all the right things re women's rights and dignity, and keeping children safe. Truss seemed to decline to back up Kemi on the self-ID business when Mordaunt was on the ropes in a hustings too. I don't think Kemi is going to say who she's backing.

It's got interesting anyway.

I wouldn’t worry about it, so many are backing now

Look at Tugendhat who said he was new etc and he’s backed her

She doesn’t have to offer any of them anything, they are probably just looking at the polls

I can’t imagine she’s going to backpedal on the important stuff. Why would she, when she was already firmly on record on all of it, and it’s not like it lost her any ground in the leadership contest? She beat Mordaunt, so why compromise?
