So it is going to be Sunak

That is sufficient to cause real problems

The question though is whether those that didn’t support Sunak - a very large minority, - will behave and and follow party discipline.

Do we know it was a large minority? I’m sceptical, I reckon 250 would have voted for Sunak, the hard core of Johnson acolytes is only reckoned to be about 60. I’m sure they will be a constant thorn in his side though.

He is younger than my two by a couple of years, and our youngest, PM at 42. This beats Tony Blair by a year I think.

I don’t vote Tory but am relieved that awful BJ is not in the picture, at least fir now, but like Trump I don’t think this us the last we see of either.

I think this says a great deal about the current state of politics

I wanted Penny personally. I can't understand how a few weeks ago Rishi wasn't good enough. Now all of a sudden he is. I wonder how long he will last? We definitely need a general election.

I am sure that Mr Sunak was the MPs choice, it was the Party Members who voted for Ms. Truss.

I will not judge until we see what his immediate plans are.

I'm pleased by this - at least at the moment. I'm just relieved the vote didn't go to the Conservative members, as they are not to be trusted to make the right decision.

Just seen Graham Brady announce this, and hoped he wouldn't be advising the new PM to resign in the next few months!!

I would have preferred a general election but at least this hasn’t been long and drawn out like the last time.
