Personally, I like Mordaunt the most of the candidates anyway. Seems to be normal and more focused on actual issues rather than guff.
Zahawi I dislike the most due to the number of scandals he has already and his bizarre promise to do 20% cuts on every department to fund massive tax cuts. There is no way he'll do that so why so brazenly lie to the membership? They're not that stupid.

How can the party select someone (Badenoch) whom 90% of the country have never heard of, to run the country when they (the country) elected someone totally different. This is banana republic territory.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
Tugendhat has vowed to cut 10p off fuel duty for a litre of petrol, I mean gee, thanks, it’s double what Sunak gave, but it will be swallowed by the greedy refineries.

labour didn't call for a VONC in the government only they cynically tried to include a VONC in the prime minister.
This breaks constitutional precedent by calling for the PM to step down before a leadership election’s concluded.
The last thing they can do is cry about it not being allowed in it's current form.
They have been told that they can have their pointless vote but just as a VONC in the government.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
It's weird they've blocked it as it was doomed to fail. It's probably the better outcome for Labour to have headlines it's been blocked.

You say that but they did elect Johnson as leader despite knowing his weaknesses.

Just increase the tax threshold; the rich benefit most from a cut in petrol duty.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
Sunak out ahead (36%) in the FT Reader Poll trailed by Tugendhat (23%). Zahawi, Braverman and Chishti just get 2% each! Confess I've only heard of Zahawi out of those three and that's for the tax investigation.

• Tom Tugendhat
• Liz Truss
• Suella Braverman
• Jeremy Hunt
• Kemi Badenoch
• Nadhim Zahawi

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
I don't understand why they can’t be appointed in August? I appreciate that it's usually a holiday month but why wait until September 9th to start the job?

Have any promised to spend on healthcare/dentists? Stuff 10p off a litre, what are they going to cut to fund that? Or are they going to borrow yet more and bankrupt the next generation, whilst destroying the climate?
None of it is remotely believable. Lies are the new and accepted norm, thanks to Boris. Get elected, then lie more to cover the lies.
