The race is on to find the next leader of the Conservative Party following Liz Truss's resignation as prime minister.

Each candidate needs the backing of 100 MPs before they can be confirmed as in the running.

When confirmed, the winner of the contest will be the third Tory prime minister in Downing Street in less than two months.

Sir Graham Brady, leader of the 1922 Committee, has said that the process should be completed by 28 October.

Here's how the selection process will work.

The Tory party is ungovernable at present, I heard there was 4 factions within it?, so this explains why each PM repeatedly gets undermined by their colleagues.

So with their own party in turmoil, how do they expect to govern the country?

But this explains why no-one of substance comes forward to stand as PM... as they know it will be problematic! That only a fool would put their career & lifestyle in jeopardy... and for what?

Which brings me to these lightweight PMs. If you look at coverage of these characters early in the roles, they wear a cheesy weak smile. As they leave No10 and walk to the Jaguar with the door opened by security and the worlds press covering them, they can't believe they lucked out!

Truss & Kwarteng certainly didn't know what they were doing! Incompetent people are being put in charge of the country, crazy!

We've dealt with Brexit and then borrowed 'enough £ to fund a war" in dealing with Covid and right after that the incompetents think it OK to borrow more £ billions to pay for tax cuts?

And now the ungovernable Tory party will throw anyone in there so they can use the last 2yrs in office to earn. The sheer self-serving, naked greed is nauseous.

To then bring the oaf back and try and foist him on us again? Another mendacious, self-serving "politician". Smh!

So the 170, 000 swivel eyed loons still have a say in the next PM? that's going to end well. The Cons will implode by Christmas
