Boris pulls out - a few women around wished he'd done that earlier no doubt.

Right decision for the country.

Best to go forward with a single candidate for PM.

[sp1814]

Well done Johnson. Country ahead of self-interest.

[pimplyteen]

Thought you was fed up with the news threads.

[gness]

Phew! My prayers to St. Jude have been answered. ;-)

[tomus42]

It's the right thing to do for all concerned.

[Paigntonian]

But typical Boris. Doesn't tell his cheerleader Rees-Mogg. Not very good is it?

[jourdain2]

It actually shows a maturing character and putting country before self. Well done, Boris. It probably boosts his chances of 'bouncing back' before too very long.
I'm still not happy about Sunak, though. Not a very rounded person, which is what is needed for the position of P.M.. He is too rich and secure, how can he understand?

Isn't St Jude The Patron Saint Of Lost Causes !! Then he has definitely heard a lot of prayers he must have been busy !!

Canary. Brilliant you have made me laugh thanks x

[Bobbisox1]

Aunt…I mean Pimples, I’m never tired of the News threads when they encourage proper debate without the mudslinging :0)

[Bobbisox1]

Me either jourdain

So his mad dash home from the Dominican Republic was a waste of time! I bet Carrie is fuming.

[Paigntonian]

jourdain 'It shows a maturing character'. No it doesn't. It shows he didn't think he could win. He's over now.

[tonyav]

Maybe he hadn't got the required 100 backers !

St. Jude's on his knees with exhaustion, Geordie. :-)

[Paigntonian]

Will be interesting to see (one day) how many of his fictious nominations split between Sunak and Mordaunt.

[pimplyteen]

The mudslinging is within the con party, thats what is debated. You don't have to read it or get involved. Just choose what you do want to get into.

[Paigntonian]

Perhaps Boris could let us know who his 100 supporters were? Or they could let their electorates know?
