Is he also pledging to bringing back being a c**t?

I wonder if Liam Fox or Laurence Fox have anything to say about this.

[SlipperyP]

YES - The person I voted for, has made the her move.

Just notice she is not even on the list. Who did I vote for?

I had literally never heard of Rehman Chishti until this morning.

And he has f**k all chance of getting the vote even if he did get down to the last two.

I take it all the Unionists are up in arms about all the candidates offering jam tomorrow and a greater economy sometime in the future? Rishi not offering tax cuts as yet so he'll probably offer half price meals again.

It gets better, or worse, depending on your viewpoint. Tory ministers have been talking for weeks in the Commons about delays in passports, driving licences, processing asylum claims, the courts system etc, but candidate Zahawi says if he becomes PM, he'll cut every department budget by 20%. Huh! There was me thinking that public services were important. 

(I'll leave the Unionists to work out the impact on Barnett consequentials.) 

If Sturgeon said she'd do that in Scotland, certain posters here would be incandescent with rage to the point of spontaneous combustion.

This suella braverman woman is just a caricature joke candidate, right?

You really have to applaud the Torys for getting on with the day job [emoji849]

"we lied through our teeth about brexit" is a refreshingly honest approach. 

Shame about having the Daily Express's worldview though. 

[Lurkst]

What a list of runners! I haven't seen such an embarrassment of mediocrity since I last watched A Song For Europe.

 

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

Zahawi seems to be the one getting his prior indiscretions dredged up at the moment, so he must have pissed off an influential donor at some point.

Chishti might end up winning by default once all the big hitters have torn themselves apart.

Keep laughing right up to the firing squad.

You always have to assume these fuckers are up to no good so the proper oddballs and outsiders like Badenoch, Braverman etc may simply be trying to split the vote to knock out one or other of the bigger beasts in the early rounds. 

[Dan Steele]

As another day of carnage hits the Con Artists, who do the Mail and the BritNat Roast Beef Morris Dancers* want to win?

* That is the equivalent of "Tartan Gonks", isn't it?

Don't you know that the public sector is bloated and inefficient? Simply stopping spending money on woke nonsense will save 10%. The remaining 8% will come from efficiency savings generated by private sector investment. 

Torynomics.

Some of them are just trying to increase their public profile in hopes of landing a cabinet position.

I remember IDS being  the fringe loony with no chance, shortly before sneaking in while Portillo and Clarke beat the shit out of each other. 

[scottsdad]

Some of these folk have joined the race simply to raise their profile. They know they have no chance but here is a chance to get in the papers, get a bit of name recognition and hopefully get a cabinet post when the next nutjob takes over. 

[Granny Danger]

I think this general consensus of increasing public spending whilst cutting taxes is a great idea.

Can’t see any flaws with it myself.

[ICTJohnboy]

Nadhim Zahawi must be the most inconvincing canditate yet, to put his name forward.

What a fucking shower of two faced c***s.

Lotsa talk about bloodletting but as you say all the policy declarations so far have been fairly similar - on IndyRef2 both Hunt & Javid said "at least 10 years" yesterday morning within minutes of each other.

I don't see any significant policy differences emerging so I'm hoping for PP, her being a credible candidate (whodathunkit?) but still clearly bonkers.
