Rory Stewart Knocked Out of Tory Leadership With Fewer Votes Than Yesterday

The MP process of narrowing down to the final two candidates will be over tomorrow. Boris Johnson will be one, the other is unknown, but it’s between Michael Gove and Jeremy Hunt.

Dark Arts

The Guardian Live blog discussed Dark Arts.

Rory Stewart’s bandwagon has been exposed as a lot less sturdy than it looked yesterday. Maybe his performance in the debate did not help (he admitted himself he was lacklustre), maybe the copy-and-paste text messages sent to MPs did not help, but there is also speculation that his total yesterday was inflated by some dark arts Johnson operation intended to push Dominic Raab out of the race.

That’s an interesting idea as Johnson is in a position to decide whom he wants to run against. But again, it will not matter.

Boris Johnson will be the UK’s next Prime Minister

British politics does not matter relative to Iran shooting down a US drone.

Remain will never be off the table, Johnson is a stool pigeon like the rest of them.

Remain is not off the table at all.
The majority of MPs, including the speaker want to remain.
Given that yesterday you reported the YouGov survey saying over 50% of Conservative Party members supported Brexit, even at the expense of destroying the party, why do you think these MPs are any different?
