They need to be careful with who they pick, they can’t have anyone that has gone out there the past few years and sucked Boris’ ass as he’s torn the country apart, Boris might have just scraped it, but they won’t

The country has been in crisis since Cameron's austerity, it's just that folks are only now starting to see the long term results of this cruelty. Crumbling nhs, destruction of public services, crisis in wage stagnation and the regression of living standards.

Why didn't you vote for Corbyn then if you're worried about energy prices? Portugal received a 2.9% cut in energy bills recently, and France have just fully nationalised EDF to keep bills the same as last year.

Austerity is what started this nonsense off.

Rishi Sunak has launched his leadership bid and with it a new website, Ready4Rishi.com, to promote his campaign.

We checked the history of the domain name for Ready4Rishi.com and found it was registered on Wednesday, 6 July - the day after Sunak quit as chancellor and the day before Boris Johnson resigned as Conservative Party leader.

Who would you like Kazanne?

It's a hard thing in politics at present.
The leaders of both main parties have a difficult task of having to appeal to so many voters who now have vastly differing needs and even demands.

Your next leader needs to be able to hold onto those voters in recently won Labour seats.
While not alienating more of the traditional Con voters of the South.
Especially now with the Lib Dems on the rise.

I agree with you although I'm no way a Con as you know, that Sunak cannot do that.

Con members decide between the last 2 usually unless one drops out.
The rules could be changed though this time.

it has to be someone that respects and abides by the traditions of parliament. It would be nice if they have a bit of character, they must be able to communicate effectively. They have to have a realistic vision of where they are going to take the country in the future. They must not be obsessed with brexit, they should only be concerned with getting the best trade deals available without sacrificing our sovereignty
