Next Tory leader

Why can't we have a Muslim PM?
We are a multi-cultural country.

Please can we just have someone, anyone who is truthful, altruistic, hard working and not out for themselves. Any party!

Being PM was an end in itself for Boris, there was no real desire to improve the country in any way.
How seemingly people of integrity are passed over beats me.
In the past, I thought David Steel and Michael Heseltine might have cut it, and Ed rather than his brother mystified me.

I really think this is the crux of the matter, and sums him up completely - and thus the state we are in now.

A very astute observation - it basically says it all.

To support DaisyMae that dreadful woman is MY MP alas and almost the first to pop her name into the hat. She would be a disaster, Penny Mordant would actually get my vote but both Mercer and Tudenhat have integrity and could make viable senior ministers.

No surprise if any of the BBC, ITV, SKY presenters throw their hat into the ring as they have contributed consistently and with extreme bias to Boris's demise. Dominic Cummings even !!!

People of my generation were lucky enough to have real leaders to choose from for the reason that most of them had served in the Second World War. They had learned the hard way what leadership means and it’s not “don’t do as I do do as I say”. No, they probably weren’t angels - who is - but they weren’t serial liars. John Profumo admitted his misdeeds, resigned and spent the rest of his life raising money for the less fortunate with his wife, Valerie Hobson. I could go on…

Johnson will be PM for a while yet while the Tories try to choose someone to win the next GE so he's got plenty of time to mess up the UK, our relationship with the EU and the cost of living crisis as well as persecuting his pet hates like Channel 4 and the BBC. Perhaps they might choose Nadine Dorries - what larks!

Has anyone ever heard of Lord Frost? David Frost was basically the person who did all the negotiations that took us out of Europe. He writes very good, sensible articles for the Telegraph. If only he was an MP and not a Lord he would be perfect as prime minister.

The main things I know about Penny Mordaunt are 1) she appeared in a TV celebrity programme called Splash as a diver and 2) she took on a bet as to how many times she could say the word ‘cock’ in parliament and pretended to be discussing the poultry industry. So please, NO!

As I understand, Lord Frost is another very unpleasant man. Likes power without responsibility.

Well. In some ways I’ll miss him.
He was a bit different, a bit fun, something we’ve never had before.
He’s seen us through a global pandemic and brexit - 2 of the biggest political & social upheavals in decades. Not many would have coped with all that.

Tory leader well God help us if it’s GOVE! And it’s what Sunak has been gunning for all along which makes him as bad as Gove.
What’s going on with the males of these Parties they behave so petulantly!….

Sunak has the credentials but due to his wife's wealth won't understand the pain the general public and pensioners in particular are going through. Rees Mogg is my bet!!

From Twitter - choosing a new Tory leader is like deciding which portaloo to use at Glastonbury

Totally agree with you. But then it would be hard to find one of these MP’s who haven’t lied.

The first thing I said when Boris Johnson was voted in was that we now had our very own Donald Trump but I tried to support him as PM, especially during the pandemic. I have no idea who will be chosen as leader but sincerely hope it is not Jacob Rees-Mogg.

When I was young (oh yes), I suppose I naively thought politicians were honourable decent hard working people ,devoted to the common good.
Then I learned of the machinations,plotting,scandal and
privileges of the MPs etc in the 1960’s.
We only had the newspapers and a bit of TV, but now there is a
plethora of media activities, we are sucked into it ,whether we like it or not.
Sadly all the MPs are just a bunch of people ,a crossection of our lives,some good some not so good.Titles don’t make the man/woman. You can’t polish a turd.

He is sanctimonious and Condescending and rumour has it not whiter than white himself

I meant Rees Mogg !

If its Sunak I’m digging a hole in my garden to hide myself in!

Rees Mogg also has immense wealth and regularly shows himself to be totally out of touch with the realities of ordinary people's lives!

And wasn't it him who said, when resisting voting from home and mask wearing that 'you couldn't catch covid from people you know well'! A complete moron IMHO!

Zahawi or Hunt. Can't abide either of them, but then can't name a Tory I do like or respect at the moment.

all the tories want to run down the NHS and replace it with an American style health system, is that what you really want? I want a country where not only myself and my family but others have free health care

Kandinsky A bit of fun!!

Being PM doesn't mean taking part in a comedy show; it means taking part in real life. Though there seem to be many who live in a different reality these days. I wish I could understand their way of thinking but it boggles the mind.
