BBC: Tory leadership race: Who could replace Liz Truss as prime minister?
LBC: Tories need reminding that Boris Johnson is 'unfit for office,' Sir Keir Starmer tells LBC
This much is certain: If a general election were to be held today, many Tory MPs would lose their seats. Many Tory MPs don't want to lose their seats, not just yet, and therefore don't want to face a general election any time soon. They would much prefer to elect a new Party Leader and Prime Minister who could possibly give them some hope of retaining their seats/ winning the next general election.
Who is the most likely man or woman? Has he or she been born yet? Does he or she exist?
Well, Rishi Sunak already has his supporter Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor of the Exchequer, pushing what looks like a Rishi Sunak agenda and that's a big plus, even if last time around Boris had pleaded with his party faithful, "Anybody but Sunak" and this time around he will probably be adding the polite, " Please": "Anybody but Sunak, the man who stabbed me in the back, please"
Should Sunak prevail this time, then he would be leading a disunited party, with Boris Johnson as the leader of the opposition within.
A penny for your thoughts.
So, what about a more neutral candidate like Ben Wallace - assuming that he wants to run, this time, him or Penny Mordaunt?
