According to The Times, allegations have been made about one candidate using drugs and prostitutes with a senior Tory party source telling the Newspaper: "There are rumours being widely circulated about candidates getting involved in bondage, domination and sadomasochism, claims of inappropriate relationships and compromising explicit photographs that could be used as “kompromat.”
I’m thinking Penny Mordaunt sounds like she may be the best of the bunch - and she was keen on Brexit so she would appeal to those who care about that.
I saw some reports today that her chances might be scuppered with the Tory membership, though - apparently some have said she is too “woke”! -
I would take being called “woke” as a good thing but they seem to use it as something bad!
No one in the recent cabinet should be elected as leader of the Tory party, day after day they came out and lied to support the farce that has been a Johnson ‘non’ leadership, they could have put an end to the lame government weeks ago including when there was a vote of confidence but chose not to.
Whatever they say now is tainted with lies and I won’t believe anything that comes out of their mouths. Be gone the lot of them spinless subservient liars.
I understand a dossier of sleaze and misdeeds concerning those standing for party leader was handed over by a former cabinet member to a member of the labour party in a pub last week, a measure of their character underhand to the last when such things should have been reported long ago. Maybe it is the same person who allegedly caught Johnson in a compromising position in his office when he was Foreign Secretary .
Things could get very nasty in this leadership election .
Edited to add …Apologies, just realised Swimmy has posted on the same subject. My information doesn’t come from Cummings though but from other sources .
I’m wondering if the one to replace Johnson will have been one to remain loyal to him, with lots of sleaze being let loose, there seems a effort to discredit the disloyal ones.
So if Starmer were to force a no confidence vote, would the tories back Johnson or let the motion win thus triggering a possible election , what a conundrum, if Starmer is serious now’s his chance , best get a replacement in quick .
Yes, that would be interesting to see how all those Tory MPs who have already expressed no confidence would vote in a Parliamentary no-confidence motion!
Maybe, but at least it would give the electorate an opportunity to make an attempt to cleanse the parliamentary hive. Let’s face it, the last GE was reaffirming the demand for BREXIT.
It would be interesting to see the platforms on which the parties would stand, the economy could not be in worse state, who can convince they have the answer’s. That will be the ticket the next tory leader will be voted in on imo.
Oh so its the entire government who is facing this NC vote? Not just BJ. I would really welcome a General Election, just to get rid of this lot. All they are doing is fighting among themselves and not giving a stuff about us. Plus…how does this chaos look to the rest of the world - they must think we are nuts!
