The right decision. He’s ok, seems decent but as a cabinet minister of Johnson’s he’s done the right thing in my opinion.

For what little I know about politics I don't think anyone who's been backing and supporting Boris with his lies, coming on TV and defending him when he hadn't got the galls to do it himself should be the next PM.

Mr Tugendhat, a former soldier, was heavily critical of the government's handling of the Afghanistan crisis and could be a possible figurehead for the so-called One Nation wing of the party, particularly if Jeremy Hunt chooses not to stand.
Announcing his future bid for leader with an article in The Daily Telegraph, Mr Tugendhat said: "I have served before - in the military, and now in parliament. Now I hope to answer the call once again as prime minister.
"It's time for a clean start. It's time for renewal."
Although lacking in ministerial experience, Mr Tugendhat's name is increasingly coming up as a viable option.
He supported the campaign to remain in the EU but voted loyally on Brexit matters under both Theresa May and Mr Johnson.
He has opposed stricter coronavirus measures during the pandemic.
That’s a decent write-up, especially for a party that needs to move away from the Johnson stamp quite rapidly.
Let’s hope they do the right thing.

No one has to be a remainer for life, but once trust is lost it's difficult to regain it, especially so soon. It takes major demonstrations of a genuine change. No candidate that wasn't on board, especially if they didn't accept the result, is going to be an acceptable leader. There are plenty of anti-sovereignty parties to join elsewhere.
I hear Grant Shapps has put his name forward. On his watch hard shoulders started disappearing from motorways, brain dead idiots have been allowed to risk their lives on vulnerable scooters on the road, and even the Highway Code was altered to remove personal responsibility from the hard of thinking and dump everything onto the shoulders of motorists who have to anticipate and allow everyone else to mess up traffic flow etc.. He is surely lucky to still be an MP, and can't be a rational option for PM; ever.

Surely Shapps has ended his tilt before it’s even begun?

Shapps launches Tory leadership bid
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has announced he is standing for the leadership of the Conservative Party.
Mr Shapps told The Sunday Times that while he was ruling out a general election, he would produce an emergency budget.
His chancellor would be instructed to cut personal tax for the most vulnerable and give state support to firms with high levels of energy consumption, he added.
He wants to make the economy the biggest in Europe by 2050.
Mr Shapps commented: "I have not spent the last few turbulent years plotting or briefing against the prime minister.
"I have not been mobilising a leadership campaign behind his back. I tell you this: for all his flaws - and who is not flawed? - I like Boris Johnson.
"I have never, for a moment, doubted his love of this country."
Mr Shapps, 53, added: "It is easy to criticise Boris after keeping one's head down for years while being happy to benefit from his patronage.
"I am glad that I did not do that.
"Even as the skies darkened over his premiership, often because of errors committed by him, I hoped he could pull it back.
"Because in losing him, we would lose a man who makes a unique connection with people."
Is that a veiled hint that he’d have him back, as well as a swipe at his former cabinet colleagues?
Party is badly fractured if so.
