Next Conservative leader/PM

[Sway]

Hunt?
Gove?
Wallace?
Javid?

Truss?

[poo at Paul's]

Hunt i reckon

[Carl_Manchester]

Jeremy Hunt

It certainly needs to be a serious person with probity and integrity, whiter than white. Opposite of Boris, obviously...

And sooner rather than later.

Bookies odds on “Boris to resign day” obviously they’re changing a lot at the moment!

I predict the last 2 will be Sunak and Liz Truss and Truss will win.

julian987R and jsf will both try to claim a win though.

For me, I'd like someone who can actually buy into the agenda put forward by Cummins and supported by Johnson until Carrie got too involved and Johnson decided just being PM was sufficient.

I want a true investment agenda - not handouts, but actual rapid infrastructure projects with a tonne of helicopter cash thrown at them to enable levelling up (enabled by the changes to RoI cases removing London/SE weighting).

I'd like genuinely targeted approaches to supporting cost of living - not just leaving it to the BoE to throw up rates, or a grant. Short term changes to energy taxes whilst low cost energy security is created.

Etc.

I'm struggling to see who might have the vision...

Not high up in the odds but one of the few possibly clean of the Boris stench.

Rees Mogg?

Or Wallace for me at the moment. . . I think.

Should be entertaining to see what happens over the few weeks though!

I don't think they have anyone like that. I can't think of a single Conservative (or Labour) MP that appears suitable to be a great leader of the country.

Back in the day, whether you loved them or loathed them, both Blair and Thatcher were people who, at the time of their appointment you could see as being the right person for the job, but for different reasons. However both parties have mostly fronted themselves with people who the public just couldn't get behind, eg Miliband, Brown, Hague, Major, Corbyn, Starmer...

I just dont see any of our current politicians being right for the job of PM.

Ben Wallace? Tobias Ellwood? Both ex-military, seem to be driven by the privilege and duty to serve the country?

I'm no betting man - help me out here Stovey!

Hunt is toxic. He's been toxic for a long time - a polished Gove.

Sunak is the epitome of grey and indecisive - a classic consultant. fk that.

Tugenhadt is someone who seems appealing on some levels, but ultimately domestic policies are pretty much unknown and the news that Gove likes him instantly makes me shiver...
