Tory leadership race: the contenders to replace Boris Johnson
Full spectrum of candidates are likely to come from almost every ideological wing of the party

Its not an inspiring list. You like to think it couldnt be any worse but it really can.The election is done in 2 stages.
Stage 1 is where the MPs whittle the list down to 2 candidates.
Stage 2 sees the membership choose which of the 2 they want.
Sunak is the favourite at the moment. He should get to the final 2. He has been campaigning for some time and is generally bland enough not to upset any of his colleagues.
His chances of winning are hampered by his huge wealth and his lukewarm support of brexit. His wife is a nom dom, a status that allows her to avoid paying UK taxes. Sunak a forrmer banker has a green card and home in Malibu.
The main opposition is likely to come from Truss. She is a complete vacuum who is the UK equivalent to Betsy De Vos. She is converted remainer who is now hell bent on bringing violence to northern Ireland by breaking the GFA. Non of this will bother the tory members who like seie ng the pix of her sucking off world leaders in her role as foreign secretary.
She doesnt know the difference between the Baltic and the Black Sea.Crucially she stayed "loyal" to johnson. She will mention that a lot when campaigning.
The others are a laughable rag bag of nonentities devoid of talent.
Zahawi is being investigated for his tax affairs. Javid is seen as a traitor who also has less than patriotic tax affairs. Mordaunt came 6th in a reality show diving competition and Hunt voted for remain.
Braverman is the choie of the real swivelheads. She is a brexit extremist and also the worst Attorney General in history. She has no legal talents but was loyal to johnson.
This is Truss in a famous clip that is repeated regularly on UK TV.
This is Braverman, Britains finest legal brain. Seriously.
