Looking at the list of I do not fancy any of the males to give the Tories a fresh start. Several of the females could do a good job with Liz Truss and Suella Braveman standing out among them.

Truss is a Remainer, so an automatic reject for many millions. She's become a noisy protester for Zelenskyy etc to deflect from the fact that she's an intellectual flyweight.

Braverman is perhaps the best candidate for many like me who don't trust anything remotely associated with Theresa May's duplicitous ex ministers and apparatchicks as promoted.

Sunak, (he of the Green Card) who ticks all these boxes, is plaintively 'anti-retiree' and already views those dependent on the State Pension and/or a menu of 'benefits', as a non-contributory cost base, over privileged and dispensable. How can anyone with a nett worth of over £200 million (give or take 30 odd million); realise any empathy for a pensioner of say 80 with nothing but fear for their last years? (despite his facile promotional video).  His Tax-Avoiding wife's, £530 million on top doesn't improve the position either!

Ask yourself could you see him acting decisively against The ECHR to stop an expected 100,000 dinghy people / 4 Star hotel roomers from thronging up the beaches this and every year hereafter? It's not a natural fit is it, his sympathies clearly originate elsewhere ...

Suella has a good surname, but say if Truss/Sunak/Tugenhadt/Hunt/Javid et al got in she would have to be renamed 'Braverperson' ...

Kemi Badenock  could be the dark horse of the race to be PM. She has some good backer who think highly of her. Could be the very first black female PM.

Well Tugyerhat, to any Tory member with a brain cell, should be a non-starter as the kiss of death is an endoersement from the socialist remainer rag known as the Independent.

The Independent is supporting the Tory candidate who they see as the most likely to get the Labour Party back into government.

I did the same when I voted in the Labour Party leadership contests so I voted for the candidate that would get the Tories back into Government & who would then keep them in government.

That's why I voted for 'Red' Ed Miliband & for Commrade Corbyn.

Neither do I, nor the first Indian PM, nor the first Asian PM.

I want to live out the rest of my limited number of days with an ethnic Brit PM.

After I've gone the UK can have a Taliban PM for all I care as I won't see it.

A hell of a lot of people in this country deserve a Taliban PM they are sleepwalking into it, most of the voices I hear that are not happy are from the oldies like us.

You could be right but in practical terms what do you propose should be done to prevent it? 
Are you advocating protests? 
How strong a protest? 
Civil unrest? 
Rioting? 
Bombs? 
Are you volunteering to engage in all that?

I'd have a green PM with purple spots if they ran the country effectively!  Suella Braverman wants to see every unemployed, healthy person in work and not dependent on benefits. Its a start, and something no government has addressed for a long time.
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

I care not what colour the skin.. or religious beliefs they follow .. As long as they are a NOT a Remainer ..

Blimey our Churches have  much to answer for over the centuries....
Cruelty to children.. and numerous wars..
And let us not pretend they are (changed) completely..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Yes Hugh I rate her too, Both she and Suella Braverman, another Black lady are really worthy of serious support. We have to be careful that nutters like Hunt could slide in via the cracks of split votes though? If the remoaners really thought he had a chance they'd be all up for him now, but they realise he's a busted flush I think, but might rally in the event of a mistake seeing him through to round two. Don't forget he wanted us physically 'sealed' up in our houses with the Police checking such attachments to all ground floor entrances/exits daily. Hope in itself for all of them where control, for the sake of control is all that matters.

Well that just shows her total ignorance of the benefits v job arena.

Anyway, back to my choice, I don't think it's unreasonable to want an ethnic Brit PM as it's, to date, about the only thing that the incommer immigrants haven't removed from us.
