I wonder if the 'established' Tory MPs will now ensure she doesn't make it to the final 2. Truss 'doing a Gove' like he did to Johnson?
Among Con members, Penny Mordaunt wins in head to heads against all other candidates by a wide margin
Mordaunt v Truss: 55% v 37% M v Badenoch: 59 v 30 M v Braverman: 63 v 25 M v Tugendhat: 64 v 26 M v Sunak: 67 v 28 M v Zahawi: 70 v 18 M v Hunt: 77 v 16https://t.co/1D3FokCoytpic.twitter.com/GKIXEioGxU

They come to he conclusion they don't want Rishi. The issues around his wealth and the whole non-dom status might come into play.
Peston was just saying Sunak is so far ahead in pledged votes in Round 1, some of his supporters will lend votes to weaker candidates to ensure they stay in.

Background in the armed services check, a leadership bid based on patriotism check, Brexit nutter check…she’ll do well with the grassroots.
Her pitch this morning is a bit nutty - talking about childcare costs, but saying things like Mum's can stay at home and pass tax on to partners etc.
It's appealing to grandparents, it's not what youngsters want these days - the whole election contest is about going back tot he good old days of the 70s/80s but most of the candidates were barely alive and certainly not adults!
Would be more understandable if likes of John Redwood and Peter Bone taking these lines - but they don't want to be a moderniser and challenge the party at all

Looks like going back on what she said about trans stuff has helped her with her home crowd.
Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa

She actually used the phrase "the good old days" and then talked of a "Citizens Army". She also talked of bringing back Thatcherism.
It was batsh!t, but it will get her the votes at membership level and that's all she cares about. She's just got to get onto that final 2.

There is a thought that it moght not need to be pit to the memebers, of there is a clear leader after a few knockout rounds
One is acclaimed PM, and 2nd place gets the job of their choosing - it is only for a year or so anyway
Otherwise it is a measure of how far things have fallen, that as we are faced with a rising cost of living, chaos at our ports/airports, industrial action right across the board in response to wage&conditions cut, wheelchair users stuck indoors because they cannot afford to charge their chairs, staff shortages everywhere, NHS on full alert and huge delays to ambulance times....
.......the Tories are fixated on the supposed threat to civilisation by trans people, and some imagined 'wokey cokey,' that stalks the land
While I can see good reason to want to distract from the huge failure/fck up the last three years have been, I cannot help but feel many do see such bogey men (?) as the greatest threat to the country

Beware the Jabberwoke, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
It's like picking how you want to die painfully isn't it? There isn't a candidate there who isn't a spectacularly awful bag of meat propped up by incoherent nationalism and nostalgia.

The question is how much is down to the need to pander to the bigots, and how much is their personal views

I thought Gove stabbed Johnson with the Theresa May election? Saying he wasn't fit for leader etc?
Yeas. That was in 2016. He was right as well.
in 2019 Gove looked like making the top 2 alongside Johnson. Johnson was terrified of facing Gove in a two horse race. He knew he had more than enough votes in the bag to make the top two so his whips got a few of his supporters to vote for Hunt in order to keep Gove out of the run off.

At their peril. Do you remember when Labour did that and the joke candidate ended up as leader?
It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.
