Ben Wallace MP is getting tory party members hot and sweaty because he's the defence minister, and in the UK, the Ukraine war in still seen as a good thing.

Most likely he won't make the final cut, which will be of two potential PM's.

One will not have voted for Brexit and one will have.

Of the MP's who voted for Brexit, the truly scary proposition is Michael Gove MP, a twisted sociopath with deep seated control issues.

Most worryingly, tory party members, most of whom are painfully slow witted, still do not a) think lockdown was bad, and b) do not blame Gove for lockdown - even though he was its principal political architect.

Other brexit-voting MP's e.g. Dominic Raab, while being shamefully silent about lockdowns, would likely not impose any more.

Of the remain-voting MP's, the worrying prospects are ex health secretary Sajid Javid (imposed vaccine mandates on nurses) and psycho nut job Jeremy Hunt. Both are unlikely to get party member votes as the NHS is currently seen as a big stinking turd of incompetence, and they both led it.

Rishi Sunak (ex chancellor) was against lockdown (but not in public), he printed £450bn from thin air but he's skirting blame as Johnson is currently (and had been kept in position to be) the lightening rod for anger against how screwed the country now is. So Sunak is a reasonable bet.

Long shots include Liz Truss and Penny Mordaunt who party members love and who would be OK on the lockdown front.

The best potential PM would be someone like David Davis, a past leadership contender who was hobbled in the leadership race previously by Remainers. If he makes it into the final two, then happy days
