Whoever it is that thinks Badenoch will win should go to Willian Hill where they'll give them 20:1 odds

Because they think she's the one they can control.  A repeat on the Tory side of what happened with Ed Miliband and Labour

A bit of bribery, not unexpected but a bit overt:

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Lord Frost urged former Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch, who came fourth in Thursday's vote by MPs, to leave the race and throw her support behind Ms Truss "in return for a serious job" in government.

From the first seconds he appeared to be saying 'nothing will change' implying all PMs just follow the same given script their predecessor did

Yeah like Thatcher, Blair, Cameron and even Boris were just the same as what came before them

Intersting to note that the Conservative membership wanted Kemi. Hence she was offed by the backroom dealings, before it was down to them to decide. Shameful.

Well there's good and bad in it.

a) it shows the positive about single transferable voting.  Means a common view of import can still get to win even if it's split across several candidates

b) it shows that 'common view' with Tory MPs seems to be 'borrow, borrow, borrow'   noooo:

a) No. It shows personal greasy pole-grabbing, Like all politicians.
b)  Tax cuts when affordable, not before. Of course if all the bed-wetters hadn'nt closed the economy for 2 years then it would be sooner.

Also gloriously refreshing to hear someone absolutely bored with freaks trying to suggest biological sex in in any way open to debate,

Liz Truss proves yet again how inept she is opening her campaign to members with this idiot (now deleted) gaffe.  I think we now know why she's never been seen with scissors.
