To ask...Truss or Sunak?

It's no surprise that these two are on the final ticket.

I assume Truss will win, which means there'll probably be another leadership election in about a year. She's already announced that she'll 'hit the ground on day one.' The word 'running' would have really helped there.

I think she would be a gift for Labour - Rishi is a far better candidate, despite being an entirely imperfect one.

Whaddyall think?

Truss.

Sunak is worse than Johnson. Plus, his wife takes Russian money and he has ZERO economic sense.

Im not sure who would do better in the next GE I think maybe Sunak so would prefer Truss wins

Truss comes across as awkward but this has improved be interesting to see her in PM questions

I think Sunak can handle public debate better and appears more confident and playing the I shall follow where Thatcher left off card is a winner for many votes but being so closely linked to Johnson and his wife’s status is an issue for him

He’s got more than Truss who wants to make £30 billion tax cuts funded with borrowed money. That doesn’t sound much like economic sense to me.

It was always Sunak, the rest is just theatre

I'm not getting upset. I just find your modus operandi tiresome.

That’s not what polls of the Tory membership show.

@Azizai look at the polls, even though you take them with a pinch of salt. Liz Truss is very likely to win, just hope her uselessness is exposed in tomorrow evening's tv debate.

Too bad - this is a public forum.

And the fact that it is a public forum means that I can make that point every time I see you do it.

Tough if you don't like it.
