🔴 The #Tories face a major challenge to prevent the break-up of the party, and may need to turn towards the centre in order to survive as a serious entity, a political academic has warned.
Prof Paul Whitely has tipped former Chancellor #JeremyHunt to take over from #RishiSunak after the #Conservatives leader resigned following a disastrous night at the polls for his party.
@JSharp1436 Braverman, Badenoch and Patel will not be pleased. I reckon Patel has been plotting a leadership bid since she was put on the back benches. Those three are dangerously far right maybe even past Reform views in many ways. Patel’s small boats carry-on, and her proud boast of ‘no freedom of movement’ plus her ‘starve the Irish’ should rule her out of any leadership ambition; unless she moves to North Korea or somesuch.
Agreed. The only normal ones remaining who also have a decent amount of age and experience are Cleverly and Hunt, so far. I've yet to see the full list of survivors.
I really was hoping for Shapps to have made it. He would've been a future leader with age, experience and common sense.
All the young far-righters are just straight dangerous.
@JSharp1436 I did this Tory Bingo as the results came in last night. All the X’d ones are out. If you don’t see it like that, you might see vibrating yellow circles on many. Clicking on each circle creates an X to cross off the losers. What’s left are the surviving Tories. Not sure how you will see it, as I copied the link from my bookmarks . There are some fun surprises are you cancel the yellow circles. https://zirk.us/@shane/112730186941134723
