Agree. Most seem to be controlled by 55 Tufton Street, not a traditional Tory amongst them.

Penny was very strong at PMQs. Will be interesting to see if she's a politics remainer.

Just to clarify, should be or will be? I suspect this will be two different people.

I don't think it is very interesting.
Who will take over from Southgate is much more important than this irrelevant rabble.

Should - personal preference

Exactly Maggy, I'm with you. Why is that option not available?

In five years you'll fed up with Starmer as well and begging to have the Torys back.:D

I've voted once in a General Election in 50 yrs of being able to do so. I have never ever cared about any of them. So, I truly don't care.

If you find yourself begging for the Tories to come back, look around you and see if there is anyone in the room wearing a white coat :)

MPs defecting is nothing new but it's usually some time after the election when there has been a notable shift in the party.

It would look so poor to defect this quickly after being elected.

Interesting survey results of what a new Conservative leader faces

Quote:

Brexit and Partygate are the key legacies of the Tories’ 14 years in power, according to a new poll.

Research by Savanta found voters are mostly likely to remember the Conservatives for their most disastrous and divisive acts, rather than any positive record in Government. Brexit (43%) and the scandal of lockdown-breaking gatherings in Downing Street (41%) top the list, followed by Boris Johnson's bungling response to the pandemic (33%).

Voters also said they would remember Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-Budget (31%) and the Rwanda deportation scheme (27%), which has now been ditched by Keir Starmer. Only 8% of people said the party would be remembered for more positive things such as London 2012 Olympics and legalising same-sex marriage.

It comes as the Tories battle to rebuild the party from the wreckage after suffering the worst General Election defeat in history. A bitter leadership contest looms, with eight top Tories tipped to throw their hats in the ring, including ex-Home Secretary James Cleverly and former Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch.

Tees Valley Mayor Lord Ben Houchen called on ex-Home Secretary Suella Braverman to act "with civility" after she warned the party risks becoming "centrist cranks".

Chris Hopkins, Political Research Director at Savanta, said: “The next leader of the Conservative Party - and likely several after - will have to contend with the public's perception of the Conservatives' time in office for the last 14 years.
