BBC News - Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt: Who are MPs backing?
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63343308

Mine hasn't declared however I sent her an email saying basically unless she wants to completely wipe out the CP she should support Sunak. None of my friends want to see BJ return and we are the ones that turn up to vote.

Our MP never acknowledges my emails. In fact he enjoys his safe seat so much that he appears to sleep in it most of the time. I suspect it was Boris Johnson.

My Tory MP is backing Sunak.

Mine is backing Sunak.

Mine is backing BJ; dreadful woman!

She'll have to have a rethink now! ?

I don't know how my Tory MP will vote. He has blocked me on Facebook and refuses to read my emails. He was very rude to me when I said I was donating money to the Nowzad escape from Kabul so I told him what I thought of him and that was it.

Mine is backing BJ; dreadful woman! I emailed her twice telling her to get rid of him after party gate. She wrote back saying she did not wish to be contacted about this any more. I was livid. I should be able to express my opinion to her as much as I want. I shan't be voting for her again. Just so the rest of the village knows I put the letters in the post office for everyone to see. If only I could find out who the chairman of the local Conservatives is I would be writing to him/her to try and get a better candidate.

Thank goodness!!!!!!!

Boris. The current situation is what happens when the lunatics run the asylum. Tories are dead ducks in the water.

Curlywhirly Sun 23-Oct-22 21:21:30

Johnson has quit!

Alygran Sun 23-Oct-22 21:10:37

Mine is Sunak

Mine is backing Boris!

Mine is backing Johnson. MP.s backing Johnson are thinking of saving themselves. Those backing Sunak are thinking of the ' 'Country'

He is a keen Boris fan.

Mine has been under investigation since April for multiple allegations of sexual harassment, taking class A drugs and corruption and nepotism involving a very dodgy Russian.

Although he has had the whip removed he could still get a say in who be omes our next PM as he is still a member of the Conservative Party.

You could not make it up.

Mine is remaining impartial . Whatever that means.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 23-Oct-22 17:48:39

Mine is not saying ?

Ailidh Sun 23-Oct-22 17:45:56

Mine is supporting Sunak. Huzzah.

Oldnproud Sun 23-Oct-22 17:33:39

Mine (Leadsom) is supporting Maudant. Not my first choice, but infinitely better than Johnson - if she had been supporting him, I think I might have exploded.

Oldbat1 Sun 23-Oct-22 17:14:30

We unfortunately have a Tory in post. She is backing Johnson. She is in the current cabinet.

Maya1 Sun 23-Oct-22 17:01:45

Mine, whom l don't vote for, is backing Sunak. Hopefully he will get in, surely Boris couldn't get in again.

Bill Cash is supporting Boris…..two for a pair as they say……

Ladyleftfieldlover Sun 23-Oct-22 16:49:15

I should add that after I emailed my MP, the automatic response said that I should allow 2 weeks for a reply… we’ll be well on our way to hell in a hand basket by then!

Ladyleftfieldlover Sun 23-Oct-22 16:47:15

I’ve just checked and he’s backing Sunak.

flump Sun 23-Oct-22 16:20:18

suep1953 We have the same MP it seems. I've never seen him either. At election time there used to be, at least, a pamphlet put through the letterbox but at the last election there wasn't even that!

I’ve just emailed my MP and asked who he is supporting.

My MP is not contactable by email, the only one in the House of Commons apparently. I moved a year ago and not once have I seen him mentioned on the local news, in the local papers or anywhere. He’s literally invisible.
