    It is even worse and ironic when you think of the carbon emissions involved in taking a fighter jet for a joy ride

    I still dont understand why Sunak would want the job? Has billions to his name and could just swan off and do whatever he wanted for the rest of his life with no stress but chooses to want to be PM. As it seems he is one of those money worshippers where there is no such thing as too much money I can only imagine he is doing it for some kind of financial reward for either him or his friends in business. I very much doubt the Tory party members will vote for an Asian as their leader though so we will get Truss, jesus ******* christ.

    Let's face it reardless of the laughing stock this country is PM is still one of the most powerful postions in the world. Which makes it all the more worrying that the albino gibbon made it.

    I really really want Truss to win. She'll single handedly deprive Starmer of his one USP, which is coming across as a tedious bore and a bit of a weirdo, and may well make him look electable in comparison. Epic times.

    I suppose getting lost leaving your own press conference is akin to getting stuck on a zip wire.

    We now have a choice between the cheese lunatic and the man that wants to put up corporation tax and drive business out of the country.

    Best result for Labour at least we'll only have to put up with either of them for 2 years then they'll be booted after the next GE.

    Is the chap in the final two the same bloke who recently gave away 4 billion pounds of tax payers' hard earned to companies that didn't exist?

    Horrific spectacle of Tory MPs giving a standing ovation to a PM they had to ditch for his lying.

    Those two rags only want Truss to win because she isn't an 'immigrant'*. They'll never admit it of course, but we all know it's true.

    *In their eyes Sunak is still an immigrant whether or not he was born here.

    The guy has turned a massive majority into a deficit. He got rid of anyone who disagreed with him and even his remaining bunch of yes-men hounded him out.

    Round of applause. What the hell. The guy has ruined the country and his party - you can't get any more **** at a job.

    Of course by then it'll be the newly enobled Lady Dorries of Anfield taking her seat in cabinet.

    I would be shocked if JRM, MadNad or the Pritster get roles in a post-Johnson cabinet. (though it would be good for the opposition parties in the run up to the next GE)

    They say ‘keep your enemies closer’. Fact is they would raise merry hell if left out and Truss is dependent upon them.

    It’s a sad state of affairs that such talentless people, with no concept of public service, have manoeuvred themselves into such positions of influence.

    JRM and Dorries are both prominent and early supporters of Truss. They'll have received certain assurances in return for their very public support I'm sure.

    We've got 6 weeks of this Punch and Judy show. Id allow the pair of them half a side of A4 to make their pitch, put a voting form on the back and send it to the blue rinse brigade with a pre-paid envelope to return it in. The whole thing would be over in a fortnight

    To be honest it’s a cruel process. 6 weeks is a very long time for this particular electorate. No wonder it’s said they rush to vote as soon as they get the ballot paper.

    Well, who'd have thought? Research indicates more than half the c.180,000 Tory membership are aged over 60, and they tend to be white male residents of southern England.

    Making it impossible for young people to as much as buy a studio flat isn’t going to help bring down the average age.
