The New Prime Minister / Runners and Riders

There has been a leak of Rishi's proposed cabinet should he win. It is anticipated that Liz is likely to pick a similar team...

doubt they could do much worse

A new poll shows Sunak is now just 5 point behind Liz - according to The Times.   The poll was carried out by Techne, an Italian data and public affairs company. 😏

I swear by Tracey at the Co-op.. She said Truss will win..

Different paper different result.. It all depends on what you choose to look at/agree with..

Popularity among Times readers is not important. Only 160,000 party members have a vote. I am not one of them.

[Alex]

Yes, Times readers views are not important, I don't read the Times as you have to pay for it  !  I was (apart from contributing to the forum) pointing out that the poll was carried out by a new company whose head office is in Rome.

Whistling, as they walk past the Cemetery! The Times is like most MSM's a 'Blob' supporting organ. 'Tonto's' game is run, plainly outed for the back street, unctuous multi millionaire Globalist that he is.

I wasn't arguing (promise) but I assumed they asked Times readers or subscribers.

I think it was a random poll of 800 odd Conservative members, the article was in The Express and the Guardian too

[klondike]

After seeing Daily Mail polls, Express polls and Sun polls I think the results of many newspaper polls are probably clos to the editorial line more often than not. Maybe the Times poll is different but most are probably best put to the old traditional use for newsprint (and that's not wrapping fish and chips).

How does an Italian private company get hold of the contact information for 800 odd conservative party members Shouldn't this data be private?

[GrannyMac]

An interesting concept.

Will your grandchildren, when they can vote, do so on the current events in their life or will they vote for what they think might be best for the generation in a 100 year's time?

I expect they'll look after their own interests like most of us, although they might embrace socialism before they start earning a living!

Somebody paid to have it done, I wonder who ?

A Yougov poll now places Miss Trust agead of Suki by some 30% although of course they only have their respondents' word for it that they are party members or not.

[klondike]

I can't see how anybody can consider that Sunak can be in any way credible. He starts his campaign declaring that any tax cut is impossible and just La La Land economics then U turns to being able to offer a 20% cut in income tax. I presume he is also now saying he will knock the NI and corporation tax increases which he imposed as chancellor on the head too but haven't really been following this stuff as little of it will happen anuway. Neither have addressed migration (legal and illegal) or energy prices or the continuation of HS2 and Net Zero costs in any meaningful way nor offered any clue as how they intend to repair the NHS which is beyond broken. There will be an election in a couple of years or less and I can't see how either can turn things around an win it.
