Tory leadership contest?

Can't Grayling have a go?

I'd love to be initiated into the Secret of Grayling. 

I mean, who, who, would let that cunt run a fucking ballroom?  Why is he immune from sackage? 

There has to be more to this.  Unless it's a sargon-joke.  Some of your famous British humour.

I'm pretty sure he's a nonce, and they hold a fair bit of sway in the Tory party (especially if they're friends of Theresa May).

[Buelligan]

Don't be ridiculous, the tory party's awash with them and there are millions, in all probability, of free range ones living in the wild. 

They're not all given free rein with the public purse, transport infrastructure and the justice system are they? 

No, they are not.

[Danger Man]

10 candidates now. Malthouse has joined the gang.

[Dr Rock]

Come on Amber!

[jobotic]

Cleverly's up next apparently, or have we already had him.

What happens if they all run and vote for themselves only?

[Fambo Number Mive]

Anyone surprised by this?

Chris Grayling is *not* running for the Conservative party leadership. He will be backing "someone else"

[imitationleather]

Who is this Someone Else? I like the sound of them!

[jobotic]

He's backing Theresa May.

[BlodwynPig]

He's backing P&O Ferries

[Darles Chickens]

Clive Dunn's "Grandad" would make a less inept PM than Grayling.  Shame he's not going for it (either of them).

[Dr Rock]

Amber probably doesn't know whether to come forward or not. Geddit, her name's Amber!

Trying to decide which of these cunts I'd like to see in charge feels just like when we were writing our wills and trying to decide between burial and cremation.

[Danger Man]

I hope we do see TV debates as well as each candidate interrogated by a suitably tough person.

The Conservative leadership hopefuls have been invited to take part in a televised debate on the BBC to test their views on Brexit and other policies, as an 11th candidate to succeed Theresa May entered the race.
The event, hosted by Emily Maitlis, will take place in mid-June featuring all the candidates left in the race at that point – likely to include Boris Johnson, Dominic Raab, Jeremy Hunt and Michael Gove.
The Tory contest will formally start on 10 June but all except for the leading four to six candidates are expected to drop out after the first couple of rounds of voting by Conservative MPs.

A second event, in a BBC Question Time format, will give the leading two candidates the chance to submit themselves to audience questions. It will be hosted by Fiona Bruce during the final phase of the process in which Conservative members will pick who should lead the party out of the final shortlist of two.

Hope it's Emily Matilis.

[Replies From View]

Expect all these Tory hopefuls to get an offensively easy ride.  Imagine being able to look at Jeremy Hunt's history as if it's fine - well somehow everyone selected to ask him a question will be doing just that.

[imitationleather]

Rory Stewart looks like Alex Higgins when he was living off baby food.

[idunnosomename]

Hope it's Emily Matilis.

Is there going to be a debate who can chair the debate?

[jobotic]

Did they do this for Labour? Were there three raging socialists brought in as presenters?

Hope the first question is "lovely dinner last night, what was that recipe?"

[Cuellar]

What is fucking point? Do even Tory party members get a vote?

[Dr Rock]

I think it's weird, but then again it's who is taking over as Prime Minister not just party leader. I still think it's weird though. But what a super summer it will be to have to listen to all these cunts for ages.

[imitationleather]

Just watch Johnson give an absolutely shocking performance and somehow become even popular with the spanners who live in this country.

Bit harsh on your kids that. You could just give them your house instead.

[Darles Chickens]

They could have a Big Brother style phone-in advisory vote, and then everyone could start threatening riots when they refuse to implement the result.

Or it could be 'vote to eliminate', and the loser of each round gets marched out of the studio and shot.  Yeah, that's better.

[Cuellar]

I think it's weird, but then again it's who is taking over as Prime Minister not just party leader.

Granted, but there's dick all we can do about it either way. Like being tied up and having a string of torturers explain to you at length exactly how they're going rip out your fingernails and put cigarettes out in your eyes.

[JesusAndYourBush]

2 days a week is a farce.  They should be concentrating on the leadership contest all day every day until it's done.

They'll have had so many pounds of flesh off me by then, the choice for them will be shoebox or disposable barbecue for what's left.

[idunnosomename]

haha guess who's rumoured to be next throwing their proverbial hat

None other than James Cleverley, MP for Braintree, and stupidest man in the world

Ha ha! Christ. I wouldn't put it past Mark François to throw his hat in the ring at this rate.
