SIR – Watching ambitious Tories’ insincere attempts at self-promotion is embarrassing. They should, perhaps, heed the words of C S Lewis: “You will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you are making.”

It would have been 2 women in 2016 had Leadsom not dropped out at the last minute.
That was actually a bonus for Corbyn and Labour as Theresa May very nearly took the Cons out of power.
As a Labour member, I now don't fear any of these candidates.
Truss can't be trusted at all in my view.
Mordaunt is more and more looking like a Theresa May style probable leader.
Only one I think who has any kind of real political integrity now is Tom Tugendhat.
In the last 7 years the Cons have had 3 general elections, and we are now heading for the 4th different Prime Minister in that time.
With 3 different PMs in the last 3 years alone from 2019.
None of that screams consistency, continuity OR even competence.
In my view.

Lord Frost, the former Brexit chief negotiator, has told Talk TV he would have "grave reservations" about Penny Mordaunt becoming Prime Minister.
Citing his time working alongside her during the Brexit negotiations, when Mordaunt served as his junior, Lord Frost said she "wasn't fully accountable or always visible".
"To be honest, I'm quite surprised she is where she is in this race. She was my deputy - notionally more than really - in the Brexit talks last year," he said.
"I'm sorry to say this, she did not master the necessary detail in the negotiations last year. She wouldn't always deliver tough messages to the European Union when that was necessary and I'm afraid she wasn't fully accountable or always visible. Sometimes I didn't even know where she was."
"I'm afraid this became such a problem that after 6 months I had to ask the PM to move her on and find somebody else to support me."
"From the basis of what I saw, I would have grave reservations."

Lord Frost urges Kemi and Suella to back Liz and unite the right
Lord Frost is understood to be privately urging Suella and Kemi to drop out and back Liz
Truss for leader of the Conservatives, Ben Riley Smith, DT Political Editor, writes.
A friend of Lord Frost said: “While Suella, Kemi and Liz are all extremely good
candidates on the right of the party, he thinks Liz Truss’s evident determination to put
Britain onto a new reforming free-market economic path gives her the edge.
He thinks it’s time for all three to unite behind her and make sure the members get a
candidate who can deliver real economic reform and change.”

Honestly I do wish they'd stop concentrating so much on polling from the opinion polling organisations.
While voting is going on as well.
I have little to no respect or faith in opinion polling.
They've been wrong so many times even on binary questions such as the EU referendum.
Unfortunately however opinion polling can perhaps influence.
I'd ban the lot of them at least a week before general elections and especially whenever ANY voting was actually taking place.
Often their questioning comes with loaded statements too.
Really annoys me that so much attention gets placed onto opinion polling.

There does seem to be a movement now to push for Truss.
Not the wisest move I'd say.
Anytime she comes out her door, she rarely seems to know which way she's supposed to go, even to getting into a car.
I can't see her as Premier signifying any shape or form of necessary change.
She will have to reward Rees-Mogg and the deluded Nadine Dorries for their over the top suppport.
Surely at their now 3rd attempt in 6 years this present Con party is going to elect another disaster as their PM in office.
Tonight's debate may help but somehow I doubt it.
For me, the real change candidate for as near a fresh start hard learned, is likely to be out on Monday.
Namely Tom Tugendhat.
I'm now of the view Labour needn't concern itself with which one wins now
Mordaunt just brings Theresa May back to mind.
Truss would be a mess too.
Sunak with his experience of Chancellor was on paper the most able.
I can't see even the Cons risking Kemi.
Starmer should get down to forming a good set of firm policies.
If he'd listen, get PR iny his future plans too.
Really get the Lib Dems and all other Parties at Westminster easily and fully on board.
He could then claim to be the one who is going to ensure, complete change for real votes to make EVERY vote cast really count in ALL elections.
No fears at all of any of these Con leadership contenders ever even looking at PR either.
So a unique position to take for Labour on this if they really want to win at the next election.
I think we need to look at the big picture. The economy is such that whoever becomes the leader/pm is going to be out on their ass in 2 years time and if that happens it will be time for another new leader ready to battle in 6 years time. I think thats inevitable now

Why can’t they all just do the right thing and simply vote for the person who will be the best for the country

I strongly disagree.
Up to three quarters of Labour members now want PR.
Labour voters too.
There's around a quarter of eligible voters who don't vote, partly because they feel their votes are meaningless.
It's far from only the Lib Dems arista.
In fact EVERY Party elected to Westminster including the UNDemocratic Unionists in N.Ireland.
Would welcome PR.
Only the Con Party and Con voters are against it.
PR is used in the N Irish, Welsh and Scottish assemblies.
PR is used for London Mayor and all other Mayoral elections .
Plus for Police and Crime commissioner elections too.
It's only in general and council elections it isn't.
PR would remove in my view, extremes of government and extreme Prime Ministers too.
More concensus politics would likely be more evident.
Since NO Party could likely ever govern again with strong absolute power with only 40% + of votes given to it.
This dinosaur like system we have now which was fine when the leading Parties like Cons and Labour got we'll over 80% of the votes cast between them.
Not now.
This present government and Prime Minister have highlighted how wrong the political system and set up is.
The Cons will never want PR because they are happy to execute absolute power from a minority of votes.
If Starmer can be persuaded by those Labour MPs who also want PR, to make it policy.
He, I believe would lead Labour to a really strong victory in the next election.
By offering real and necessary change to have voters to feel their votes really now do matter and count.
The Cons dread PR and for obvious reasons too but only reasons of their own extreme self interest.
If rishi wins it will be like living in a care home in the 80s and finding out jimmy saville isnt visiting today, only to hear the sound of a didgerydoo echoing up the hallways as you drift of to sleep.

It’s just an Impression after a few interviews and clips I’ve seen ..
Even the description he’s given them for his introduction sounds suspect
They introduced him as serving in the special forces ... so we’re thinking an all -action war hero yet his online bio says
Territorial army , then Adjutant General's Corps responsible for many of the army’s general administrative services and then he served in the Intelligence Corps which is responsible for gathering, analysing and disseminating military intelligence and also for counter-intelligence and security.

i don't really know either of them. Liz i just dont particularly like, i wouldn't trust her at all. Kemi appears nice enough but she is very obviously out of her depth and shouldn't be in the contest.
