Just goes to show how out of touch with reality our politicians have become.

The World at One had Isabel Hardman, assistant editor of The Spectator (and thus Tory-supporting) to comment. Asked about the Johnson's camp tactics from here, she said all his handlers have to worry about is if Boris's door is unlocked and he gets out. So the Tories are admitting they're about to select as PM someone they can't trust in public. Of the candidates, Stewart has made that argument in public - "would you trust this man with the nuclear codes?"

Can't see him getting anywhere near enough votes in the next round.

Rory Stewart is very far from perfect, but the lack of interest shown by Tory MP's in electing a leader who isn't delusional or dishonest shows how poor their judgement has become.

They want Rory in that he will be best for the country but they really don't want him as he will be such as risk to them in any GE.

The grassroots activists of the Conservative Party want Brexshitter ideological purity at any cost, and a Conservative candidate prepared to acknowledge political and economic reality is not going to play well with these people. The party would have to split for that to change.

I am not even watching question time tonight. I just can't.

Glad that Leadsom and the terrible McVey are out, but awful that Boris looks like getting it.

And it seems that most of the Tory membership, who are choosing our PM for us, did NOT even vote Tory at the EU election, but for Nige's lot.

This is what in the Labour Party would be called a serious case of entryism!

Argh!
