I see Nadhim Zahawi is backing Johnson. 

Here is Nadhim Zahawi telling Johnson to resign a day after Johnson appointed him Chancellor.

I find it funny that the first candidate to announce she’s running has about half the declared support of Boris Johnson.

ETA I wonder when the Penny will drop (out).

Worth reading the replies to that.

Boris Johnson could never be accused of wanting to be seen as politically engaged since announcing his resignation as prime minister in early July. Yet his apparent eagerness to abandon any pretence of parliamentary involvement would make grim reading for even his most ardent fan.

For about a quarter of the considerable time that has elapsed, Johnson appears to have been abroad, enjoying a series of luxury holidays as the UK lurches through economic tumult and a deepening cost of living crisis.

In addition, during the 108 days since he announced his resignation, Johnson has voted in parliament just once. For the record, that was a confidence vote on 18 July – into his own government.

During Liz Truss’s six-week tenure as PM, her predecessor did not bother to vote once. Neither did he make a single written parliamentary statement throughout her administration.

But back to his holidays: after his final prime minister’s questions on 20 July, Johnson clearly began planning in earnest for some time away. Destination number one was Slovenia in early August, for a week at the five-star Vila Planinka eco-hotel, where rooms in high season cost from about £600 a night. The trip was explained as a “mini-moon” to mark his wedding to Carrie, held days earlier at the sprawling Cotswold estate of a Tory donor.

Slovenia failed to satisfy Johnson’s taste for luxury travel. Within days, he was off to Greece for a family holiday, reportedly also for a week. This time they headed first for the island of Evia, before moving on to the coastal town of Nea Makri on the mainland, a few hours from where Johnson’s father, Stanley, has a villa.

Possibly exhausted after saying some words during a parliamentary debate on Ukraine on 22 September – his only input save for a tribute to the Queen nearly a fortnight earlier – Johnson decided he needed another holiday.

His final getaway, this time a planned fortnight, was to the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean. Accompanied by Carrie and their children, Wilf and Romy, Johnson chose the Casa de Campo luxury golf resort, where a four-bedroom villa for one night this weekend costs more than £2,500 (golf cart included), according to booking.com. The median average monthly salary for UK workers is £2,164.

Proof, if any were needed, that Dorries is a complete fucking idiot.

Second Choice Sunak stacking up the Parliamentary votes.

[Salt n Vinegar]

If Bojo wins, the SNP should hold street parties. 

Within a month or so, the clamour will be "bring back Truss".

Has The Bodger thrown his gut in the ring yet?

[Guest Jedi]

Absolutely unbelievable looking at that Poll, that Johnson would allegedly bounce their support up to 34% as opposed to its current range from 14-19%.

They might well weigh up the fact that with Sunak or Mordaunt, they get wiped out, but with Johnson, still lose, but have a better base to 'recover' from.

Bit off topic but what is the clamour for Ben Wallace apart from being whiter than RS?

I had absolutely no recollection of his time as an MSP and when I looked him up he'd done very little apart from making a few mildly anti LGBT remarks (about them joining the forces) which he now says he regrets. Seems very much a "countries going to the dogs" Golf Club/Rotarians Tory".

Is he just happy with an easy job (for a Tory) as Defence Secretary, rattling his sabre once in a while and saying "we must support our brave Ukranian brothers and sisters"?

Braverman says "it's all immigrants fault" ( probably) but she is backing Rishi

Apparently Penny Mordor is pushing her ‘real life’ experience as a reason for people to vote for her.

She was a magician’s assistant!

Elect Debbie McGee!!

I’d like that, not a lot, but I’d like it.

I was really hoping someone would pick up on that.
