Thank you Margo :-)

[aelmpvw]

down to seven, though the word magnificent doesn't spring to mind

[MargoTester]

You're welcome Danny :-)

Boris is the man. He's bound to be in the last two and if so will win handsomely among the wider party membership. Surprised at Leadsom going out, she was second last time round.

[goodgoalie]

I think Jeremy Hunt will beat Boris - the favourite often doesn't win in Tory leadership contests

[woofgang]

I suspect consensus is to let him have shot....if he is successful its a win and if he tanks and goes down the tubes because of it, its a win!

[dannyk13]

Goodgoalie, Can't see Hunt making up 71 votes, the number he is behind Boris.

[goodgoalie]

Yes, but the final vote is by all Conservative Party members, not just the MPs

[Paigntonian]

Jeremy Hunt cannot win. Former remainer totally unacceptable to party members.

[Paigntonian]

And it's interesting that a poll out today shows Rory Stewart second to Boris among party members.

[Old_Geezer]

How the heck did Stewart scrape through to the next round ?

[Paigntonian]

Rory Stewart just went mad on Sky, saying he'd bring Boris down if he suspended parliament for a no deal Brexit.

[dannyk13]

He doesn't need to suspend parliament. Last nights attempt to rule out no deal was voted down.

[Old_Geezer]

If parliament is suspended wouldn't Stewart be a bit late trying to bring Johnson down ? Johnson would've effectively delivered on the referendum by then.

Go Boris - did anyone else scream when Beth Rigby murders the English language with no gs and now uz forus. She also carries a bias against Boris in my opinion when questioning him asking the same questions again.

[Ric.ror]

Boris is a quite like Trump - speak first think after
And hes got a comb over going on
