Only a week long - there is no way that includes the membership vote.

I don't think the Conservatives will recover from this. They'll be pulled apart.

Just give labour the bloody keys now: and will be a one party state for at least five years,and that's dangerous too!!

Wonder if Johnson will stand?

I'm blaming the thread title if he does!

I hate to use the B word, but this whole mess is the natural conclusion of Brexit. It was always going to end like this. The Tories have ripped themselves (and the country) apart for the cause.

Hunt won't stand in the contest.

Jeremy Hunt will NOT stand for leader according to the BBC

Well we will see

Fladdermus will be going in hiding

Do we think Johnson is booking his flight back?

(I dont really think he is a contender)

Just been told that that election should form the shape of a Papal conclave . Two days limit before white smoke. Sunak. Mordaunt. Hunt. Wallace. Threshold has to reach 75 - the the third place will be ballotted.

Charles Walker tells me “this is what has to happen now and it could all be done by Monday - the grown ups have to dip their hands in blood and produce a result “

Thank puff. Truss is gone.

44 days !
Dear old dear , it's not good is it ?

I loath the conservatives for not doing the right thing here
I'm so angry
Holding us all to ransom
We may as well live in North Korea

Govey has ruled himself out. Shame.

Mordaunt has launcged her bid

The twitter handle Penny Mordaunt for PM is back

I feel like we are all locked in to the Conservative party nervous breakdown.

Nothing democratic about what is happening.

They are now the yellow party
Won't call a GE , they are scared of the people
They are a bunch of reprobates and spivs

Conservative Board meeting later. Query whether they'll put a spanner in the works and insist members are given a vote.

If the members get a vote then it'll drag on again :(

Graham Brady says Conservative leadership contest will conclude on Friday 28th, with a new leader in place before the fiscal statement on the 31st.
^^
"Expectation" is members will be given a vote.

At least it's not 12 weeks to find a new PM

More madness. I hope they remember the wanted Sunak yesterday.

Yes - as predicted on the Westminstenders threads pretty much since the referendum. The contradictions of Brexit were too much for any political and economic system to bear.

I’d love to see her as PM just to see the consternation among the “At least they know what a woman is” crew.
