Ben Wallace Rules Himself Out

The right decision. He’s ok, seems decent but as a cabinet minister of Johnson’s he’s done the right thing in my opinion.

Now that Sunak has declared himself in, I want to know when we’ll hear his resignation speech in the HoC.
We’ve heard Javid’s, who put the boot in which is fair enough.
I want to hear Sunak’s assessment of the government he was part of and how complicit he feels in his part of the lengthy ‘defending the indefensible’ that we heard for months from one minister after another.
After all, it’ll help him set the tone for leadership if he’s successful, won’t it?
I reckon he’ll have to tread very carefully.
Anyone know when or even if we’re likely to hear it?

Your thread title is a prediction.
Mine is informative, with a subsequent question about one of the candidates.
As far as I’m aware she hasn’t declared herself yet, has she? Ben Wallace was favourite yesterday and look how that’s gone!

Aw, is it hurting that your hero is taking a battering from all sides, the right as well as the 5C scum? Lol.
You’d better get used to it, the longer he squats in Downing St the more criticism he’s going to receive, again, from all sides.

I think Penny will declare and she's untainted so I think she has a good chance. Truss/Patel/Javid/Zahawi/Sunak all too close to Boris, Sunak would be good but the public won't like him now they know he's married to a Billionaire so I don't think the party will go for him.

Javid is hardly close to Boris.

Ben Wallace has made no secret he has eyes on being NATO Secretary General.

[ToraToraTora]

"Javid is hardly close to Boris. " - I mean he's been part of the current Government.

Javid resigned the first time when Boris and Dominic told him to sack all his advisers so they could have control. I'm surprised he went back after that.

[pimplyteen]

Javid I don't think is strong enough to be PM, but credit to him at times when Boris tried to push him around he didn't stand for it. Boris soon went cap in hand back to him when he needed a health minister.

[pimplyteen]

opps 13.46 cross posts.

[Hopkirk]

Javid isn't strong enough? He used to be managing director of Deutsche Bank.

[FatticusInch]

I still want to hear Sunak’s personal statement to the House.
Hopefully next week?

[pimplyteen]

^^ Didn't know that, but not sure if being a banker makes him strong enough to be a PM??

Well, the biggest Banker in Bestminster made it! Lol

[pimplyteen]

For what little I know about politics I don't think anyone who's been backing and supporting Boris with his lies, coming on TV and defending him when he hadn't got the galls to do it himself should be the next PM.

[Hopkirk]

Well the PMs job basically is to control a team. I would say running a large organisation like Deutsche Bank is a suggestion he can.
Sunday may be a brilliant mathematician and economist, but is a proven team leader?

[Hopkirk]

Sunday? Sunak.
