I think you are right. She is by some distance the worst public performer of all the candidates in this contest. She reminds me of Theresa May in that regard. I wonder if this weekend's TV "specials" might cook her goose. If she survives that ordeal, I reckon she'll be odds on to be in the final two which probably means she'll be up against Dishy Rishi. That's if she even finds the stage.......

Truss getting the job would be brilliant for the opposition. I think you are right. She is by some distance the worst public performer of all the candidates in this contest.

If she survives that ordeal, I reckon she'll be odds on to be in the final two which probably means she'll be up against Dishy Rishi. I think we all know that the TV hustings this weekend are going to be an event that will render satire irrelevent. They'll all be promising the moon on a stick in three word slogans ("Bigger, brighter, better") with word play on their names ("Lizzy to get Britain Busy") - bluster a list of (non) achievements and punch the air to a number of ill defined policy headliners that they either can't or won't deliver - or which would be disasterous if they did. Which has got me wondering whether we have finally reached the point that anyone actually WANTING to become prime minister should automatically be disqualified on the grounds that they are obviously psychologically unsuitable for the role.

I think that's a fair thing to say. Same thing goes for people who watch the things. Anyone who does actually watch them should be barred from voting on the grounds of insanity.

There are only about 200,000 people allowed to vote. And most of them either still listen to 'The Home Service' or it will be on while they're taking their nap.

Nothing wrong with the odd mid afternoon nap or two I love a nap or two in the afternoon when I get chance myself, nice and quiet. In the past I’ve actually sneeked in the house and gone bed for an hour without letting the wife know I’ve come in so I don’t get disturbed. 👍👍

Can the chairman of the 1922 Committee stop the contest on the grounds of preventing undue and unnecessary punishment?

Can't imagine many of those Braverman votes going to Rishi. Good result for Liz Truss, especially when Badenoch drops out next week. Where Tugendhat's votes go for me will determine who Truss goes up against. Truss vs. Mordaunt final would be my prediction. Looks like most of Braverman’s supporters are putting their weight behind Dizzy Lizzy. Think she’s a shoe-in for the final two, all down to whether it’s Penny or Rishi Rich who joins her. Penny was behind Rishi in the votes, so she has some catching up to do. I think the campaign Tiny Tom has run with it being clean and a break from the past 2 years tops Penny up nicely. I will definitely be wrong but Penny vs. Liz is what in going for 😁

Nope it’s already pretty established that corbins flip flopping over brexit pretty much done him in During the election campaign for 2017 which May called both sides were 'flip-flopping' over Brexit. Pretty much all May had to offer was 'I'm not Jeremy Corbyn'. Corbin had too much ground to gain in 2017 but it is testament to him that he did so well. Saying he would negotiate a better brexit deal, put it to the public vote and vote against it pretty much ensured he lost that ground gained and more

To be fair, this is a misquote which portrays it differently from in the video. She doesn't actually say 'I don't have a willy' as that guy states in his tweet. She says 'a woman like me, doesn't have one'.

Watching Channel 4 now. It seems like it's basically about electing the least offensive idiot. Real, real tough choice so far.

Based on what she just said on the Ch4 debate, I'd suggest she has no idea either way. Real car crash TV this, Kemi and Tom T have got away with it so far, but what a mess

Rishi Rich has a bit of a short fuse I reckon 😉. He's not at all impressed with the amateur hour financial advice from the other candidates. Penny doesn't rely have two to rub together. Tom seems happy to blame the NHS Liz thinks she can borrow her way to tax cuts Kemi clearly has no idea how inflation works.
It's terrifying

Real car crash TV this, Kemi and Tom T have got away with it so far, but what a mess Based on what we've seen in this debate so far, the worst possible candidate for the good of the nation (Truss) is almost certainly going to become the next PM. Kemi and Tom T aren't going to make the final 2 and when put to the party faithful, Truss (with the rhetoric she's displaying tonight) will smash Mordaunt or Sunak. I think Mordaunt has probably been the biggest loser tonight.

I think Tugendhat has 'won' the debate but yeah Sunak the least injured of the main contenders. Badenoch and Mourdant very poor. Truss looks like she's being haunted live on TV by Rees Mogg

Interesting that Sunak is the only one who's receiving applause from the audience and he's the only one saying that we can't cut taxes. I don't think he's got a chance of winning though.

Think Tugenhadt has done well from the safety position of knowing he's not going to win. Tories can't be happy with Truss can they? She really is awful.

Mourdant is drowning before our very eyes! Truss v Sunak in the last 2 I reckon all the others votes will go to Liz. Then the blue rinse 200k members will go Liz. There is no way we go full term to a GE now I've seen this I'm more convinced.
