Mordaunt crashes out of Tory leadership race leaving Sunak and Truss in the final

Penny Mordaunt received the fewest votes in the fifth round of the Tory leadership contest leaving former chancellor Rishi Sunak and foreign secretary Liz Truss to duke it out in the final.

Mordaunt received 105 votes, whereas Truss got 113 with Sunak getting the largest vote share again at 137. Conservative party members will vote over the summer to chose a leader, with the result to be announced on 5 September.

Heads you lose, tails you lose.

what a childish ritual : looks like they're banging the desks for their pudding

[glennhoddle]

Imagine Liz Truss with access to the nuclear again, she is more likely to key in her cash point number ...🤡

[haroldinho]

Actually not too unhappy. If truss wins then the Conservative party will go crashing down with her.

[Greems]

If Sunak wins I forsee a Labour victory in the generals.

[therealryan]

[peterchessell]

"Pray, Sir, (said he, ) whether do you reckon Derrick or Smart the best poet?" Johnson at once felt himself roused; and answered, "Sir, there is no settling the point of precedency between a louse and a flea."

UK PM race Rishi Sunak could become 6th India Origin head of state if voted to power

[nightshiftblues]

Oooh, who will be the next head of the British Associated Fox Hunters.

The suspense.

[aka_rook]

She hardly 'crashed' out. Is the Guardian now the thinking liberal's 'Sun'? If and when Truss wins, can I expect a "Liz Trusses up Rishi!" headline?

[spartybrearly]

Look at Greg Smith banging the table. This guy was Andrew Rosindell’s lackey who spent lots of holidays in the USA giving speeches at pro-gun lobby events.

[caloricphlogistonandthelum]

Can he not work out what a 3-digit number is in words?

[graff]

Love how you pretend you don't already know the next male tory leader

[hockeystick]

Can't wait to meet Britain's next joke prime minister

[shoulam]
