So the contest has been narrowed down to Rishi Sunak MP and Liz Truss MP.

Members of the Conservative and Unionist Party will vote over July and August to determine who will become next leader of the party, and who will ultimately be appointed as the new Prime Minister to replace Boris Johnson by the Queen. The election result is expected to be announced on the 5th September 2022, and the incumbent PM will go to the palace to resign the following day.

So who is your preferred candidate to take over as PM? Do you think there should be a General Election soon? Should Boris have stayed?

Polling suggests Liz Truss MP has it in the bag.

My ballot paper arrives next week and I will be placing my tick next to her and posting it.

Our first Tory members poll since the final two candidates were decided shows Liz Truss with a 24pt lead over Rishi Sunak for next leader

Both are liars. Neither tbh. I stand with the 6 non voters.

Liz Truss MP polling very well in the Red Wall seats.

Essential that the Tories hold onto these at the next GE as without them they lose their majority.

Which of the following individuals do Conservative Red Wall voters think would be the better PM for the United Kingdom? (25-26 July)

Liz Truss 47%
Rishi Sunak 34%
Don't Know 20%

Rishi Sunak 48%
Keir Starmer 33%
Don't Know 27%

Lizz Truss is a clueless clown.

Music to my ears below.

"No, no, no" to another Scottish independence referendum says Conservative leadership candidate Liz Truss, calling Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon "an attention seeker" and saying the 'best thing to do is to ignore her'.

She did well in her International Trade minister role (2019-2021), Britain has the 2nd highest amount of FTAs in the world because of her.

Indeed, which is why most of the FTAs she rolled over were either the same as the EU ones, but with modifications that suited Britain better. Take the UK-NZ FTA compared to the EU-NZ FTA. We've agreed to abolish quotas and tariffs at a much faster rate on NZ imports below making it far superior to the FTA that the EU negotiated with the kiwis. It means cheaper food prices on NZ imports for British consumers much more quickly.
