Doubtless his words about leaving the EU in 31/10 will come back to haunt him too. Never mind, at least he'll have Larry the cat for company....

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
There are suggestions that the candidates should drop out to allow a quicker process and get the new PM in. Hard to justify staying in this situation without a functioning government when it's clear Johnson is going to win so might as well give him the extra month....

Perhaps they should, but the rationale for staying in for the time being is to demonstrate their support within the party and increase their chances of a plum ministerial job in BoJo’s first cabinet.
The remaining rounds of voting will all take place fairly quickly next week and the members ballot is postal, so there’s not really much scope for speeding things up now anyway, unless everyone bar Boris drops out (and I don’t think that’s a good idea for the country or the party).

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
If you thought May's social care policy was risky then Hunt is really going a step further:

Savings in state pension. Fiscally responsible, electorally questionable to euthanise your own voters though.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
Last nights TV debacle was quite painful to watch, i think Boris was right not to attend it was just a slanging match,the award for loathsome maggot of the night must go to Rory Stewart the arrogant prat,it was typical of the political rubbish produced by C4.

I quite like Rory, the only half honest one there. Which is why he'll never win ! A party still living in cuckoo land...
The one MP really backing Boris, will be a certain J Corbyn ...

Corbyn may hope for Boris, but Corbyn’s a fantasist. The more intelligent strategists in the Labour Party know that Boris is the candidate most likely to improve the Tories’ electoral prospects enough win an election.

The problem the strategists have is that by the time the next election comes, they won't have been able to hide Bozza away any longer or stop him opening his gob. The electorate will have seen Bozza 'not in action', we'll have maybe had a hard Brexit and the ensuing fall out. The Govt. of the day will carry the can. That's why Corbyn is all for Boris and secretly for a hard Brexit.
