    Next Tory Leader

    My prediction is it will be a woman.

    Here's my reasoning;

    You can discount Chrishni and Bedanoch now, not big enough names.

    Then Patel, Hunt, Zahawi and Shapps either have too much baggage or not enough MP support.

    Sunak has a lot of MP support, but not enough with party members who see him as high tax chancellor.

    Which leaves 4, who I think the next PM will be out of...
    Javid, Mordaunt, Tugenhadt and Truss

    Javid and Tugenhadt, I'm also not sure have the support of Tory members.

    Which leaves Mordaunt and Truss. My pick is it will be one of those two.

    New face won't cut it - new policies might

    The whole Tory front bench is a busted flush - stained by Covid , lockdowns, inflation, net zero, loss of border control, woke. bureaucracy, regulation, Brexit inertia

    There is room for RADICAL solutions but it will take a no baggage visionary. Who is it ?

    Not got a clue- none of 'em in my view . But gotta be someone so how about Lord Frost or Patrick Swayne??

    A group of us said exactly the same thing this morning and to be honest - hope you are right! I have worked for two huge corporate companies and the best directors were always women - more reasoned - better strategic thinks and the can do approach.

    If Russia had a woman leader then for sure there would not be a world crisis. More greed and power with men every time - look no further than w ankers like Trump, Sunak and Zahawi! Says it all!

    The worst business leaders I had were women, catastrophically bad.

    I worked for a “huge company” as well.

    Our women bosses were completely out of their depth.

    It was the start of wokism and tokenism back in the 90’s when they employed them in senior positions at our place.

    I’m glad they did, it gave me the impetus to leave and set up on my own.

    I speak as I find, mine were c r a p.
