I hope Penny get's over the line because she has held 13 different ministerial jobs compared to that Pakistan or Indian bloke well before he was into politics

Not that I have a problem with Penny Mordaunt. Just because Theresa May and Liz Truss were the worst we've ever had doesn't mean Penny would be, they should have let her go first. Liz and Theresa sorta say you don't need to be fit for the job in any way at all if you're a woman. Not a good example to give really

That Pakistan bloke as you like to call him joined the Political field 5 years after Penny Mordant so hardly much difference is there.

Something wrong with your keyboard
Something else he lied about if you read all the news on this. If he'd had that much support no way would he have backed down.
Count the number of I's ........ 27 in all . He sure does love himself
In the last few days I have been overwhelmed by the number of people who suggested that I should once again contest the Conservative party leadership, both among the public and among friends and colleagues in parliament.
I have been attracted because I led our party into a massive election victory less than three years ago – and I believe I am therefore uniquely placed to avert a general election now.
A general election would be a further disastrous distraction just when the government must focus on the economic pressures faced by families across the country.
I believe I am well placed to deliver a Conservative victory in 2024 – and tonight I can confirm that I have cleared the very high hurdle of 102 nominations, including a proposer and a seconder, and I could put my nomination in tomorrow.
There is a very good chance that I would be successful in the election with Conservative Party members – and that I could indeed be back in Downing Street on Friday.
But in the course of the last days I have sadly come to the conclusion that this would simply not be the right thing to do. You can’t govern effectively unless you have a united party in parliament.
And though I have reached out to both Rishi and Penny – because I hoped that we could come together in the national interest – we have sadly not been able to work out a way of doing this.
Therefore I am afraid the best thing is that I do not allow my nomination to go forward and commit my support to whoever succeeds.
I believe I have much to offer but I am afraid that this is simply not the right time.
He has the overwhelming support of Parliament.Let's hope it all calms down , he reshapes the Government and they all learn to get along for the good of the country.
