Listening to the closing interview on Today they seem to think nothing will happen until after the May Local Elections.
The suggestion was that, if Johnson is defenestrated, the next PM could not be from the current Cabinet as they are now all tarred with backing Johnson. Hunt name was the only one they could suggest.
What are your thoughts? I can't see how, if he goes, the government can continue but I do understand I have an underlying bias.
Keir Starmer is honest. But if it has to be a Tory probably J Hunt though he lacks charisma. None of the Cabinet and especially not Dorries. Nor Tugendhat - he is too hot headed to my mind.
I am not into Politics, but if the PM goes my thoughts go to Jeremy Hunt who nearly got in instead of Boris last election, he must have been popular then.
My vote would go to Jeremy Hunt.. He seems sober enough of nature not to put his foot into his mouth and not to take foolish behavioural risks, and has served well in various roles since 2007. He has long serving ministerial experience, although he is wasted where he now is. I think Boris can't stand the competition. His constituents like him and yes, I know it's a safe Tory seat. During the last competition for Tory leader I heard it said of him that he had the necessary grasp of what was going on across the ministries. In the last election I could not vote for Boris. The warnings were all out there about his disloyalty and lies. Neither could I vote for Jeremy Corbin. I would gladly have voted Tory if Hunt had been their leader, and I am one of those who votes for whichever party seems the best qualified to run the country at that moment.
I wanted Jeremy Hunt to win the last leadership election. Not Boris. When I voted Conservative at the last general election it was not a vote for Boris but for the party. I’d like Hunt to be PM. Sensible man with integrity who doesn’t showboat.
Someone not around at the moment. Can’t think of anyone. You need a motivating orator, intelligent, not afraid of the opposition or his own party, yet. listens to what people care about. Chooses his battles and not browbeaten by the mob brigade, who only ever focus on an insignificant thing and blow it up out of all proportion, what a waste of energy, completely missing the things that are vital.l
Hunt was health secretary when operation Cygnus showed that the country wouldn’t be able to deal with a future pandemic. He ignored it. His saving grace is that, unlike most of the potential candidates, he looks and speaks like a real person and not a caricature of one.
Ruth Davidson should have stayed on and she would have ended up with the job even although she was the Conservative leader in Scotland. There would have been no nonsense from Ruth a good Fifer schooled in the mining town of Buckhaven at the local High School, ex forces who even took the Church of Scotland to task over her want to marry her female partner and other mum to Finn. She would be ideal for the job.

There isn't anyone. We have a right wing, populist government. All the moderates were got rid of at the last election and this is what 43% of those who voted wanted.
Sunak was the only plausible one who wasn't tainted. He now is.
My own view is we need a general election. That's 2 years away so we are stuck with whatever corrupt person they vote in next
Sadly, it all irrelevant, BJ won't step down or be kicked out, anymore than his side kicks Rishi or that revolting woman who has decided to make a deal with the same country BJ was accusing of things to manage the immigration issues, (sorry I have aphasia and it's bad today), in relation to human rights
But interestingly Neither BJ or his pals have offered a room to Ukrainian family's
