Who will be the next PM? (déjà vu edition)

[Jark]

 

[Jark]

presumably they forgotten to include Suella Braverman - 63 in that chart

 

[VoR]

Rees-Mogg the first cabinet member to come out for Johnson

 

[Soldi]

Rees-Mogg the first cabinet member to come out for Johnson

So proud

 

[Jark]

Rees-Mogg the first cabinet member to come out

no! keep him!!!

 

[VoR]

 

[Penelope]

Here’s (enemy of Moopy) Guido Fawkes’ tracker of declared MPs:



Every single Johnson backer is a cunt.

Transparently fluffing Boris's numbers there.

 

[Madíson]

.

 

[Jark]

if Braverman is back in the cabinet...

 

[VoR]

Ben Wallace has ruled himself out and endorsed Johnson.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Johnson is a skilled tactician. There is a small chance he won't stand, knowing the Tories are doomed to lose. He perfectly understands political cycles and knows the odds are stacked. Really it's only his swollen hubris that will get him back.

 

[Penelope]

Here’s (enemy of Moopy) Guido Fawkes’ tracker of declared MPs:



Every single Johnson backer is a cunt.

Apparently they're lying about some of Johnson's names - they put Craig Whittaker down for him when he wasn't backing him earlier.

 

[Madíson]

I was getting confused as to why more sensible names like Stephen Hammond were now appearing in the first column, but it’s because Sunak has overtaken Johnson.

 

[GinAg (39)]

How many would one of them need to be instantly crowned on Monday? 260ish? Eurgh.

 

[VoR]

If Sunak and Johnson both clear 100, and Johnson wins the confirmatory poll, surely there'll be absolute fury at the 1922 committee for allowing the membership to fuck things up again?

 

[Penelope]

How many would one of them need to be instantly crowned on Monday? 260ish? Eurgh.

Just more than 100 with none of the others hitting it. In practice, could be as little as 159.

 

[VoR]

 

[Apoca]

Helene Fischer 4 PM.

At least she won a public vote. (ASFM)

 

[Madíson]

 

[Madíson]

The bookmakers’ odds have slipped a bit over the course of the afternoon. Johnson was almost at evens at lunchtime but is now 3.65.

 

[Jark]

70 Rishi
48 Boris
18 Penny

less than half have declared but Penny will need a big surge to stay in this

 

[GinAg (39)]

Still potentially over 200 to declare.

My only hope is that, the Boris fan base has an upper limit among MPs and that when Penny inevitably drops out they'll move over to Rishi.

 

[Jark]

feels like a rather perfunctory endorsement

 

[Madíson]

Shock breaking news - Sunak is running:

 

[BoysForSeles]

God they’re all awful, isn’t Sunak the most right wing of the three?

 

[Madíson]

Braverman backs SUNAK

 

[Penelope]

Braverman backs SUNAK

OMG

 

[VoR]

 

[Jark]

Braverman backs SUNAK

Boris is toast if even the madcap right aren't endorsing him

 

[Madíson]

Johnson’s odds on Betfair have lengthened again to 7.00.

 

[VoR]

 

[GinAg (39)]

Quite exhausting already

 

[GinAg (39)]

Shut up @VoR

 

[GinAg (39)]

He does not have 100, why still campaign?

 

[PercyPig]

Fucking trying to get PENNY CRAYON to concede does not scream he’s got 100

 

[GinAg (39)]

Quite. He surely has a pre existing excuse to pull out if he misses 100 and we'll never see the list.

 

[lolly]

 

[Penelope]

 

[lolly]

 

[VoR]

Remember how long it took for them to crowbar him out six weeks ago? He’s absolutely going to take it right to the wire, 100 backers or no.
