Penny Out!

[Paralytic]

I think the fact that she won't quit, even though she can quite clearly see that she does nor have the support of her MPs is all we need to know. She won't be good as she won't do what's right for the country, only herself. Even Boris could see this and I rarely praise that buffoon.

I suspect this is part of the pre-defined script to ensure the vote does not go to the party members, who the tory MPs clearly hold in great contempt (perhaps, understandably).

But, anyone who thinks that Boris "withdrew" for any other reason than being told, in simple terms that even he could understand, that he did not have support of 100+ MPs, is extremely naive.

A dark day for British politics

General Election NOW!

And she's gone!

[SueEllen]

She needs to quit before 2pm.

Can't believe we're going to get (or very likely get) someone like Sunak

What a tulip show....

Yup.

I thought Mordaunt was a much bigger lying buffoon than Boris, with about 1% of his achievement record. Most of her claims to experience, competence and military prowess don't stand up to scrutiny.

That's why she has little support, the MPs don't believe a word she says.

Boris didn't have the numbers, he is a proven lying cretin

I assume Penny is looking for a better job under Sunak, but that may not work out well for her.

She has just lost her campaign manager, George Freeman(?), who now backs Sunak.

So, the penny has dropped ... (I'll get my coat)
