What's the point? My opinion carries no weight. Along with another 99.5% of the electorate. Astonishing that so much expense is being put to this for the benefit of 200000 Tory party members.

No but maybe you’ll learn a little about our next PM 🤷🏼‍♀️

OneFrenchEgg · 25/07/2022 21:31

I almost need to watch this through my fingers.

Elevenerifebruv · 25/07/2022 21:31

Liz truss is going to be the next PM shit

Shut up Rishi you rude condescending arrogant prick. Wont let truss or the presenter talk. Keeps talking over. Omg he's awful

SpindleInTheWind · 25/07/2022 21:31

Truss is so bloody vague. No detail, just general statements like 'good schools should flourish' blah blah

Blossomtoes · 25/07/2022 21:32

They’re both just so bloody awful 😱

Elevenerifebruv · 25/07/2022 21:33

Truly shocking one of them is going to be out next leader

Out of the frying pan and into the fire we go

SierraSapphire · 25/07/2022 21:34

Many of those of us excluded from Government support though Covid have thought that Rishi is a smug, self-satisfied, arrogant twat for quite some time, glad other people are seeing it now.

Queenoftheashes · 25/07/2022 21:35

Sunak really is awful. His creepy grin at the beginning, his obvious contempt for and constant shouting over his opponent. He’s making Truss seem reasonable.

GreenLunchBox · 25/07/2022 21:35

Truss is dangerous. I don't think it's a good idea telegraphing our thoughts on China like this. Truss is still Foreign Secretary after all

stillherenow · 25/07/2022 21:35

IMO Sunak is wiping the floor with Truss

ThickCutSteakChips · 25/07/2022 21:35

I feel like Rishi is shitting himself that he might lose this - to a woman! He probably has never lost anything in his life.

Liz's 'power stance' is making me chuckle, just stand normally! I do feel like if she didn't keep getting interrupted by him she would be a bit better and not as flustered.

Neither of them are a great choice though are they?

Wynona · 25/07/2022 21:35

I am so angry. There were better candidates. Why on earth did the conservative MPs vote for these two?

Blossomtoes · 25/07/2022 21:35

He really isn’t 😂

carefullycourageous · 25/07/2022 21:36

Liz's eyebrows are just wrong.

I think Sunak is exasperated that Truss is just talking absolute mad shit.

Elevenerifebruv · 25/07/2022 21:37

A bully and an idiot

It’s a shame he’s panicking over it

Just losing it more

Because Tory MPs are bonkers. The more pressing question is why do regular members of the public vote Tory??!

GreenLunchBox · 25/07/2022 21:38

Sunak's environment answer was so cringe 😬

Mischance · 25/07/2022 21:39

Can't bear either of them; Truss is pathetic and as for Rishi - he is the descendant of people who were welcomed into Britain after escaping an African dictatorship and now he endorses the plan that people fleeing similar conditions should be shipped out to Rwanda! Un-bloody-believable!

Mischance · 25/07/2022 21:39

I have had to switch off - it is too too depressing.

cakeorwine · 25/07/2022 21:39

Wonder what Truss will say about that tweet?

He's not a bully, I've a family member who works directly for him and they are a big fan . I agree he's interrupting too much. It she is just so thick!

I was a waiter as a teenager, when do I get my 4K shoes!?

SpindleInTheWind · 25/07/2022 21:40

Was Sunak's mum a chemist in Southampton? He should have mentioned it a few more times
