Look at previous Tory leadership contests as often the favourites have been beaten by conciliatory candidates who can unite the warring factions within the Conservative party.

I don't think it's possible to unite the two sides a new pm will have to pick a side and run with it.

And so the internecine civil war in the Conservative party will go on and on and on...

Just for balance it applies to the Labour party as well.

Taking a look across the pond at the 23 Democratic candidates makes 11 candidates for PM seem reasonable.

Amusingly, there are now more Conservative leadership candidates (11) than there are Conservative MEPs (9).

Think you can rule Hancock out, he was a shambles on Breakfast tv this morning. Couldn't explain why councils were running out of money and couldn't care for the elderly in future. Maybe it was a bit early for him but Naga Munchetty ripped him apart and left a stuttering mess...

Small flaw in your otherwise reasonable argument - you’re assuming competency will be a deciding factor in the leadership election... ;)

When you watch interviews like this one, it is unthinkable that any sane person would want Boris for PM:

Doubt it

My thoughts are that regardless of what happens the tories will not want a potential leader to be anywhere near this as they attempt to rebuild the party and it's profile. They'll want whiter than white (image, not race)

Boris might self-detonate on the campaign trial again.

Given his aptitude for king size gaffes l would say that is highly likely.
