I think Robert Shrimsley (FT) is right, for the Right of the Tory party, rather than now seek a leadership election, they have a job for Rishi Sunak - be the fall guy, so after the election, they can say (even though this makes no sense to anyone but themselves), that it was Rishi being too timid in his moves rightwards that lost them the election....
Indeed, after the election fantasy/deluded politics will be the game of choice for the Tories... which might turn very dangerous
I so wish the best for Count Binface, while the crazy looney party vies for Most Insane Ideas Ever awards and remain envious that we, across the pond, in the Colonies ™️ have yet to master the level of self satire found in the UK.
@ChrisMayLA6 Didn't Little Bobby Jenrick put out some kind of proto-manifesto at a Centre for Policy Studies conference yesterday? I think they're going to give it to him from all sides until the election. They'll keep the Westminster rumour mill a-flutter with talks of a coup, and stab him in the front as often as possible in the press.
He must be relieved Starmer's going to be in the spotlight for a few days after accepting Elphicke.
When I read 'Little Bobby Jenrick' I (in my mind) immediately adopted a Southern US drawl.... and thought of him throwing something off the Tallahassee Bridge....
