Anyone believe he really had the nominations? Anyone?

I think the opposite.Chortle.
Unfortunately it may make the Tories more electable, but I'll take the risk.
"I have been attracted because I led our party into a massive election victory less than three years ago - and I believe I am therefore uniquely placed to avert a general election now.
When we keep having to change PMs due to serial incompetence, diversity is bound to be prevalent.Honestly, who'd thunk we'd get the first non white PM in the same year as the third female PM.
Men in grey suits won't allow itI think everyone is jumping the gun saying Sunak is nailed on favourite. The majority of Boris' votes likely to go to Penny who is regarded more in favour with members than Rishi.

So what does it pay forNI does not pay for the NHS.
Indeed- so same irreconcilable 'result' as last time. MP's preference is for X; members vote for Y; 'result' here today, gone tomorrow- no 'leader' 'commanding the confidence of the House'.If I understand it right, if there are three candidates the MPs vote will eliminate one: they then have another vote to indicate their preference. If there are only two candidates, then the MPs only have one vote, which is to indicate their preference. However, in both cases, the vote between two candidates is indicative only: the members then choose who will be leader and they are not bound by the MPs preference.
Strange, everyone i know (which tend to be women who work in offices not men in streets) think Boris is vile.I think the opposite.
A hell of a lot of the "Man in the Street" that the pollsters and establishment have crucially underestimated for the last few years have, as far as I can tell, been clamouring to Bring Back Boris to sort things out for the last few days. My Facebook has been full of it.
I think Sunak however will be delivering a lot of pain and will not have the same vibe with the broader electorate.
The question is: has he done some sort of deal? I would at least have expected him to keep going a bit longer, but if Sunak has promised him something, he might have decided to throw in the towel early, whether or not he felt he had the 100 nominations. And if he has done a deal, when will we, the voters, be told...if ever?
New chancellor of the exchequer?There are rumours that since the late night meeting yesterday, Boris has been promised a good position somewhere. It won't take long to find out!
Whoever wins really needs to keep Jeremy Hunt in that role.New chancellor of the exchequer?
It just goes into the general pot of government revenuesSo what does it pay for

Mostly benefits such as the state pension.So what does it pay for
Boris Johnson: Standing in the leadership race not the right thing to do
The former PM says he had the support of enough MPs but there needs to be "a united party in Parliament".www.bbc.com
"There is a very good chance that I would be successful in the election with Conservative Party members - and that I could indeed be back in Downing Street on Friday.
"But in the course of the last days I have sadly come to the conclusion that this would simply not be the right thing to do.
"You can't govern effectively unless you have a united party in Parliament."
To say Zahawi's Telegraph opinion piece didn't age well is a colossal understatement (get ready for Boris 2.0).
Will Anne Marie Trevalyn remain as Transport Minister though given her support for Boris?Sunak will be PM. No doubt.
50/50 I'd say if Sunak doesn't fancies reshuffling the cabinet too much, I'd say JRM and James Cleverly will get the boot though.Will Anne Marie Trevalyn remain as Transport Minister though given her support for Boris?
he needs a role for Javid maybe back in health50/50 I'd say if Sunak doesn't fancies reshuffling the cabinet too much, I'd say JRM and James Cleverly will get the boot though.
I think he'll keep Hunt and Shapps intact as Chancellor and Home Secretary
