Our inflation issues are largely being driven by profits.

Everyone seems to forget that when talking about the economy, we need to reframe the expectations for dividends/share price growth.

We always get told investors deserve so much because they assume the risk (a fallacy in itself) but that's not really the case anymore barring huge economic shocks.

New @ConHome finds Penny Mordaunt is in first place among Tory members to be the next PM, followed by Kemi Badenoch.

Tories won’t elect a black or any other ethnic leader. They’re allergic to anyone non white, there’s been surveys about it.

So, here we go. Tory leadership contenders will need at least 20 Tory MPs to get on the ballot paper, the 1922 committee has decided. Low enough to allow a decent choice, but high enough to weed out the no hopers.

This poll says otherwise. Kemi just missed out on top and Sunak third

I'm sure Penny Mordaunt was a Netflix series.

I wouldn't place money on that. There's a possibility that we may see an exclusively non-white final two.

Grant Shapps dodgy past being exposed on channel 4

I think Rishi will easily make top 2

Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar
Hearing Priti Patel told ERG she was "best placed" Brexiteer candidate to win general election.

One MP tells me: "It's a nightmare. Priti is determined to stand and thinks everybody should rally to her. It's such a lack of self-awareness."

Fears that Tory right will be split.

pleeeease let this happen

Quite surprised at how many voters Tugenhadt has got.

The 1922 Committee of Conservative backbench MPs have announced the threshold of support needed to enter the Conservative leadership race will be raised to 20 MP nominations

So only Sunak and Mordaunt have made it to the next round already then. Others are gonna be scrambling round for votes.

Should be 40-50 really there’s loads of MP’s

64 percent of Democratic voters don't want Biden in 2024, a new NYT/Siena poll shows.

Final two will be announced by next Monday apparently, they want rid of Boris ASAP

Brady:

-Nominations open and close Tues

-First Ballot Weds, 2nd Thurs

-Nominations 20 names

-Any candidate to proceed must have 30 in first round.

5th September final result
