Are they in October? Anything else?
Tories vote until the end of this month, the new leader isn’t announced until early Nov.
A full month of it. Tremendous.
Might as well bung in a poll.
Who’s going to win?
Despite seeing Jenrick on the news pretty much daily, I’m still not convinced I could pick him out of a lineup. The most AI/committee generated banal face of evil of all of them surely…
Think the blues going full shrieking incoherence has probably helped reeves a fair bit - as long as they don’t go after something sacred like triple lock they’ll still look less of a risk than ‘underground transgender mafia’ lunatics
Genuinely don’t understand why anyone would want to be Tory leader right now.
Jenrick really leaning in to the evil racist cuntery to steal votes off Badenoch and it appears to be working for him. If Starmer fucks up enough to make him PM, then I’m digging a hole and not coming out.
Tuggers out
Then Did you know there’s a tunnel under ocean boulevard
AI fascist to beat T clevz in the members vote
Jenrick confirms that he gave his daughter Thatcher as a middle name due to his admiration for former PM
fucking hell!
Why wouldn’t you just go with Margaret?
These people are unfathomable.
They’ll be back in power in less than 5 years
Because then people wouldn’t know you’re a right wing wanker, they would just think you like names that are perfectly pleasant if a bit outdated.

This is good isnt it
I think. I’m reminding my #barpals anyway cause at the very least they should have license to start beeves now. By card is the more pertinent bit I think, bet bars and restaurants pocket loads of those tips.
I really doubt they will be, but even if they are, next to no chance one of these clowns is leader by then.
sounds good - is that just example trades or are we ruling out any one else that gets tips?
Ok its everyone
imagine doing this
“Workers will still need to pay tax on their tips, as was the law previously.”
Yeah seems to be across all industries
‘‘Staff can now request a breakdown of how tips are being distributed every three months.’’
great bants tbf
I’ll caveat any comment I make on this that things have been hilariously unstable for a long time now and we all thought the Tories were nailed on for at least another 10 years after 2019
But - the leadership pool is such thin gruel. Almost everyone involved is heavily tainted by involvement in the Sunak government, and even without that, they need to somehow bring back together Reform voters and moderates. I’m not saying the can’t do that, but I don’t think any of the current crop can. And there are so few of them - maybe there’s a future David Cameron who got elected this year, but they won’t be coming forward to lead anytime soon. And the idea that someone like Jenrick can win an election is laughable imo, it almost doesn’t matter what Starmer does in some ways.
The most likely of these 4 to be Prime Minister in 5 years is Badenoch, in the event of her leading Reform to an election victory as a fitting tribute to Nigel Farage, who is with the angles now
