So we are stuck with Boris until September. Imagine how much mayhem he can cause in that period….. what a joke.

[alwaysright]

That gives Boris plenty of time to change everything up! Watch this space.

I think the only people concerned about this is the vile tory that gets the job. We know we're screwed whoever gets it.

[susantaylor]

We need a General Election with Proportional Representation!
No hope or confidence in any candidates.

[DarkHelixia]

Remember, remember the 5th of September
Sleaze, the promises and rot
I see no reason
Why Conservative treason
Should ever be forgot.

But seriously, less taxes for the rich and less benefits for the downtrodden is exactly what the economy needs for a boost! Thank God that only rich Conservative members get to vote for our new PM, I mean it's not like we live in a democracy ...

[tomfinney]

so none of the general public get a say ? sick of this musical chairs to the same old tune,

[sextonblake]

Staggering that there are Tory MPs that think the voters will choose Sunak as PM.
With his record on personal taxes. Amazing.

LETS VOTE FOR LARRY THE CAT THIS TIME 😂👍

[robinsoncrusoejr]

The 22 committee should automatically drop any candidate who has or had ANY CONNECTION with the W E .F or Builder burg.

[davidmiller]

This Country In A Right Mess !! This Is Like Champions League Knockout What A Joke These Politicians Really Are Aint Got A Clue None Of Them

[tomthumb]

Isn't Shapps a lying lawbreaker?

[robertstrong]

I hope Larry the cat 🐈 is on that list of 20 candidates ? He is the only Conservative we trust ! He is also the only serious candidate given the other runners

[blackstter]

Next PM to be chosen by 358 MP's and 200, 00 Tory Party members. Democracy in Action? - GE is needed now!

[tl]

What a joke!! Need to wait till September

[nicolaisacc]

The Tory's have shown how rotten there party is on so many levels

[harleythesalami]

Lets make up a set of rules, to suit our agenda, and ensure we pretend this is democracy.

[jordondraggon]

At this point i just want the conservatives out, regret voting for them. Not a big fan of labour but would even prefer them at this point

[adrianlloyd]

It's a pity the governing party can timetable things quickly when it's important to them and in their own self interest.Meanwhile people are waiting weeks for passports, driving licences, outpatient appointments etc etc with the present policy of learning to live with Covid.Learning to be very patient more like.

[ritanoddings]

Could the media ask the conservative candidates whether they support World Economic Forum as the public would like to know, although I have a feeling that will not happen.

There is more Asian men from migrant parents standing to be British PM than there is white British men, and 3 of them privately educated. There is ZERO state educated white British men, despite this group being the largest in terms of population, along with state educated white British women (there is 2 Mordaunt and Truss.) In total there is more non European ancestry candidates standing to be British Prime Minister than there is native white British candidates.
