Looks to me at the moment that the Tory Leadership race can be summed up by pretty much all of its candidates telling anyone who'll listen "You think X is a cunt? Watch this! "

Was Sunak a swotty kid on Blockbusters? Which C?

Edit- Hunt's foxhunting pledge is from 2019.

Yep, that’ll keep the “Red Wall” onside

This is all looking good for Labour.

I expect something strongly worded from Kim Leadbeater any minute now.

Mordaunt's already had to remove images of Oscar Pistorius, and Johnny Peacock's asked to be removed:

According to Fenton, she registered the domain "pm4pm" in 2019.

I understand you get subjected to "I vow to thee my country" if you watch her video.

1922 Committee get how shit this is going to look to the wider public.

But rules being changed mid race is going to look like a stitch up. Time for some concern trolling, I reckon.

Is this a Jeremy Corbyn type smear: reporting stuff that’s true? Knives are out for Nadhim. Could he be the S&M man? He’s spent a lot of taxpayer money on his stables. This is getting like House of Cards remade on Ch5 with Shane Richie.

Nadhim Zahawi has said he is "clearly being smeared" after questions were reportedly raised about his personal finances before his appointment as chancellor.

The former education secretary and vaccines minister, who is vying to take over from Boris Johnson, told Sky News he had "always" paid his taxes and had "declared" them in the UK.

Should he become prime minister he will publish his accounts annually, he pledged.

According to The Observer newspaper, a "flag" was raised by officials before Mr Zahawi was made chancellor on Tuesday. https://news.sky.com/story/conservative ... s-12649436

He's only publishing his "accounts" (tax return?) if he becomes PM? That sounds like there's major league avoidance in there.

I think in the context of this particular leadership contest, where probity is the central concern, and the lack thereof the entire reason the contest is happening at all, this must mean that Zahawi is toast. Couldn’t happen to a nicer crook.

Now do Shapps.

Is this the Murdoch endorsement?

Zahawi is saying he'll release tax returns if he wins. Because Chancellor of the Exchequer isn't the sort of job where we might want to know about conflcts of interest.

AND HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR IT ALL?
