"Some people think Brexit supporters are stupid, well I don't think they're stupid I just think they voted to leave the EU, cos they don't like people from Pakistan". Frankie Boyle

Oh. My. Days. This is what the UK has become. That one of these far right, culture war baiting, free marketeer, corporation tax cutting, deregulators IS going to be the next Prime Minister tells you everything you need to know about post Brexit Britain. Entering terminal decline stage.

4. Morduant might be even more dishonest than Johnson!

It's clear that the Conservative Party has learned little to nothing from the Johnson years.

Penny Morduant (who's even more crassly dishonest than Boris Johnson) has dropped out, following Kemi Badenoch dropping out and Tom Tugdenhat being eliminated.

To be honest, the Tory leadership contest has been pretty dismal IMHO. Also worth noting here that Liz Truss is a former Liberal Democrat, and it seems that Lib Dems who remember her from those days have particularly negative opinions about her!
