Sunak might bung her a few votes if he thinks he's got a better chance against her. I can't imagine too many MPs will relish going into an election with Truss as leader.

I can't imagine many of those 59 Banedoch votes going to Mourdant, so not sure Sunak has enough votes to give away to prop her up.

I would have thought that he'd prefer to be up against Truss - she was polling badly with party members unlike Mordaunt.

Labour will want Truss. She's a wooden, robotic performer at best. Starmer will look positively rock and roll next to her.

Sunak or Truss,  both indelibly stained with the shit from Johnson's government, the perfect scenario for everyone else.

The hilarity of PM Truss would be off the charts. And PM Sunak would have to cope with being another PM who broke the law.

Don't disagree, but it's not all about ideology, personal dislike and electoral chances come into it.

Truss definitely has May vibes.

Truss would be the mostly likely of the 3 to start a shooting war with Russia. She thought it would be a good idea for Brit volunteers to go out to Ukraine to take them on.

Sure, and of course there is a reason they weren't breaking to Truss before this, but still, I imagine a fair chunk will elope to Sunak's camp out of pure default if nothing else.

Sunak is a thin skinned c**t who would routinely battered, even by a wet fish like Starmer.

Labour may well want Truss for obvious reasons, but whither Scotland in all of this ?  If Sunak faces off against the wooden, robotic Starmer the Tories could well be returned to power with a working majority.  Surely in such a contest any optimistic pre-election claptrap from Scottish Labourites like Sarwar, Baillie et all can be thrown back at them as having as much credence as Brown's infamous vow.  If I was an SNP strategist I'd be hoping Sunak emerges the Tory leadership victor come September.

You'd have to expect most of KBs vote will switch to Truss so a Sunak/Truss vote for the party faithful - my prediction!

Hope Liz remembers Paisley fondly!

If Truss wins the other party's (sp) should forego PPBs to show re-runs of her cheese speech (thanks Caledonian1).

You support these two women because they are extreme right wing and utterly vile individuals. Like yourself.

Truss - extreme right wing?

Complete nonsense.

She was a remainer and a Libdem at one time.

Very much a centrist.

There won't be a non-white leader.

We all know how the tories operate.

She claims to have evolved to a point where she's Steve Baker, Rees Mogg and the ERG's favourite. She's as right wing as they come. A centrist wouldn't be fully behind trafficking unwilling asylum seekers to sub Saharan Africa. I think that's the most extreme right wing project attempted by a UK Government since before WW2.

The past is another country.

It's 2022 and Cheesy is pandering to the right wing these days - the nastiest of the nasty.

Looks like the P&B poll could be right with 55.56%

Bloody foreigners! We must take back control from the past and its sandal-wearing socialists - our sovereignty is key!*

*Not Scotland’s of course - Scotland should definitely not take back control. That would be a disgrace.

Utterly delusional. A Libdem? At one time? Centrist? Is that why brexiteers and the far right wing of your party are piling in behind her? She is just a female Johnson.
