Sorry didn't see them

Tora, I've "aligned myself" with no-one. Just because I'm a lefty, it doesn't mean I share the same ideals as Fatti, Gully or Diddly.

When push comes to shove, I'm not celebrating Boris' downfall (although I have to admit that I'm rather enjoying watching his supported on here squirm and his so-called allies within the party go full Brutus as they plunge their knives in). I'll save that celebration for when/if the Tories are no longer running the show.

[ToraToraTora]

any comment on my answer to your deputy PM question?

[Mozz71]

Not really. You cleared up my query very thoroughly. many thanks.

Back in 2019 the succession went like this.
24 May - May said she was resigning next month
7 June - She resigns.
10 June - Nominations for leadership contest open
20 June - Fifth ballot of MPs. Johnson and Hunt remain.
5 July - All Conservative members balloted by post
23 July - Johnson declared the winner
24 July - He takes over from May as party leader and PM.

Not sure why something similar cannot happen now. Who decided it will be resolved in October?

[ToraToraTora]

as I said above Gromit it could be done in a fortnight of the 22 get off their Aprils.

[ToraToraTora]

"Not sure why something similar cannot happen now. Who decided it will be resolved in October? " - no one, that was just media speculation.

//Who decided it will be resolved in October? //

Don't know, Gromit. Who?

[Gromit]

Naomi
It is being widely reported that his successor will take until October to be appointed.

// Boris Johnson is expected to resign as Prime Minister today, but is expected to remain in post until his successor is elected by the time of the Conservative Party conference in October. //

[naomi24]

I know what's been said, Gromit.

[ToraToraTora]

Gromit, that was just media speculation yesterday, it'll be done much quicker than that.

[Gromit]

TTT
I hope so.
The country has a lot of problems at the moment, and it is a bad time to be rudderless.

If I didn't know better I'd be likely to assume that is an afterthought. Gate, horse, bolt. ;o)

Just seen this and it’s dawned on me…..ToraToraTora is in fact Nadim Zahawi!

[jno]

it's going to depend partly on how many candidates there are and how many rounds of voting this requires. You'd think Boris would be demanding "get exit done".

[Stargazer]

Yesterday, watching tennis, I posed the innocuous question that, looking at it today, led to a large response. However I was, and still am, amazed at the vitriol it raised from one or two Abers as it speaks more about them than me and my question was merely an idle one, curious, with no malice behind it. I am in my eightieth year and a female, an old lady, a grandma with no guile about me.

Most of us appreciate that, Stargazer. There are one or two Johnson fans on here who have supported him...god knows why... and now can't cope gracefully with his coming exit from No 10 in disgrace and the relief some of us are taking in that because we know it will be so much better for the country.
It was early days and they were grumpy and took it out on you. Pay no heed at all.... :-)
