oh dear

It would be really refreshing if one of these Tory candidates would suggest a triple lock on the minimum wage, watch inflation stop dead in its tracks when it can't be used as a way to inflate your profits.

Then we can have a conversation about mechanisation and modernisation and how it needs to reduce hours at work, not jobs..

On @LBC…

@IainDale: ‘Say something nice about Keir Starmer’

@PennyMordaunt: ‘He’s in opposition.’

🤣

What facking planet are you living on Insert?

They’re more likely to commit to putting triple locks on protesters’ prison cell doors.

‘Patrick Flynn, political analyst at the betting exchange SMarkets, has been running his figures on who might win this contest, and at what stage all the others will be beaten in the votes by MPs.

According to his model, Suella Braverman, Jeremy Hunt, Kemi Badenoch and Nadim Zahawi will be eliminated in the first three ballots among MPs; Tom Tugendhat and Liz Truss will go after that; Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt will make the final two.

At that stage, all Conservative Party members are able to vote, with the result due on 5 September.

Flynn explained his workings - he looks at how different demographics of MPs have endorsed candidates so far and how those who supported different runners in past contests are shaping up now.

He also looks at MPs voting records on social and economic issues and where their constituencies lie on Brexit.’

Hope he knows what he’s talking about, because that wouldn’t be the worst result.

They reneged on the Triple Lock promise to pensioners - The bedrock of their electorate.

Fat chance of them even offering promises to the low paid and even less chance of them honouring them if they did.

Perfect

I hope they take him to the cleaners.

More than 1,000 children have been groomed in Telford, with obvious child sexual exploitation ignored by the authorities, an independent inquiry has found.

Key agencies dismissed child exploitation as "child prostitution" and blamed children, not the perpetrators.

The report has also concluded that exploitation was not investigated because of nervousness about race.

Teachers and youth workers were discouraged from reporting child exploitation and offenders were emboldened, with exploitation continuing for years.

The Independent Inquiry into Telford Child Exploitation has been investigating widespread grooming in the town from 1989 to the present day.

It found the men would meet girls, either in the street or in their role as taxi drivers or food delivery drivers, and persuade them to be their "girlfriend".

They would give the children lifts, buy alcohol and cigarettes for them and then persuade them to engage in sexual activity. Children were led to believe this was normal behaviour.

He was hailed a hero for trying to save the life of a stabbed police officer during the Westminster terror attack. But now Tobias Ellwood is in disgrace with his own constituents who claim the Tory MP ran over and killed a cat (left) - then drove away without stopping. The drama began when Mr Ellwood (right, with wife Hannah) was driving along the narrow lane leading to the village (inset) where he lives with his wife, Hannah, and sons. His car is said to have hit the male Bengal cat, whose horrified owners, the Hawa family, were left cradling their dying pet as the MP drove off. Police became involved after windows at Mr Ellwood's £1million converted barn were said to have been smashed with a croquet mallet and eggs thrown at it soon after the incident

Fishy Rishi has had a good start but I don’t think he’ll win when it comes down to it. I think Liz and Penny need to unite and make a decision though, they can only beat him if one steps out and they join

Survey of activists on ConservativeHome finds Rishi Sunak could lose run-off
Poll suggests ex-Chancellor would be defeated by Liz Truss or Penny Mordaunt
Site's surveys are not scientific but closely watched by MPs and ministers

Although it is not scientific, the grassroots polls are closely watched.

And they show Mr Sunak would lose to Ms Mordaunt by 58 per cent to 31 per cent, and Ms Truss by 51 per cent to 34 per cent.

The only main contenders Mr Sunak had an advantage over were Mr Javid and Mr Tugendhat.

The findings contrasted with an Opinium poll of Tory members for Channel 4 News, which found Mr Sunak would beat both Ms Truss and Ms Mordaunt in a run-off.

Should be Liz really. She’s had the experience with FS like what Boris had, shes tough on Russia they Fackin hate her, and she’s like a younger more confident Theresa.

Would get my vote from the remaining left, Penny is too in the closet literally never knew who she was a week ago same with a couple of the others. And Rishi’s just a snake he can’t be trusted

Plus she is known globally. Has penny even been in a government cabinet?

0.8% are perverts & 0.2% are genuinely honest people that feel they are in the wrong body.

I think someone has completely misunderstood the questions asked in this survey and misinterpreted the results.

The survey wasn’t asking whether trans women should be able to use women’s bathrooms and trans men men’s bathrooms (which a comfortable majority of the UK public agrees with), they were asking whether women’s and men’s bathrooms should be combined to allow only unisex spaces.

Like the vast majority of the cis part of the population, the vast majority of the trans part also think women’s and men’s bathrooms should remain separate.

ConservativeHome aren’t necessarily Tory members who will decide who becomes PM.

People have lost faith in the ECHR because of decisions like allowing members of grooming gangs to stay in the UK.

This is the most devastating indictment of 12 years of Conservative government, a UK where real wages grew not at all (NB informal pay policy in operation through restricting public sector pay rises). A change of approach urgently needed.

GDP growth of 0.5% in May fuelled by increase in health & social care work eg GP appointments, offsetting decline in test & trace spending, which caused contraction in April
