Lols Hunt.

They have destroyed the NHS, not a good advert for themselves

How do we apply for it ?

They needent of bothered

Boris Johnson is going to re-apply for the job of Prime minister.

God NO

If there’s a god, hopefully we’ll get Jeremy Hunt

Anyone who hasn’t yet ?

I won’t vote for conservatives again I voted for Norris not the rest of the back stabbers

None are suitable. Need a fresh face with new ideas.

To both of them, I say no.

The ghosts of Harold Shipman and Fred West next then.

To split the vote, people, don’t bite

Pair of snakes together, not for me thanks 👎👎👎👎👎

It’s the £110K for life that really is the winners prize here. Even if you toast the country you still get millions in future funding and 24/7 security detail, although not sure that will include trips to see Russian oligarchs

You got the man who destroyed the NHS single-handedly in Hunt, and then you the other one who runs a mile every time the going gets tough in Javid, he’s did it when he was chancellor’s and then did the same as Healthy Secretary

We need a general election..

Jeremy Hunt went to Cambridge for a float in a punt, Sajid Javid was already in it, and said here Jeremy, this is the oar you can have it, and Javid and hunt, floated off down the river, in their punt, and by golly they looked a set of .... idiots naughty!

Shall we all put our names in the hat, maybe just maybe the Tories might then find an honest, acceptable Leader.

Both would take the tories back wards old ideas part of the elite need someone fresh and with positive ideas both of these tow the line old policies etc

Jeremy Hunt record as health minister ATOS scandal 2000+, 2 years to take action against ATOS NHS workers strike October 2014 NHS Doctors strike 2016 7000 less hospital beds in England 2016 WHO reports greater threat of new strains of Influenza & Covid and no action taken

Sad

Still not coved my yet - typical bias BBC only focusing on the insane candidates rather then the cute ones. readyfurted Toryleadership

I might have to consider running too🤔

No thanks.

Immigrants have become an important imprint in British society. I think after 200 years, Buckingham Palace will be subject to sharing its leadership between the original British and the immigrants.🇬🇧

liars and WEF puppets don’t get my vote.

Select either of them Truss, Bravermen or anyone else diseased by the Johnson plague and the tories may as well pack up now, they need a fresh start from someone not tainted by Johnson

We need a new Government, these are all part of Boris Johnson’s corrupt Cabinet

Those who betrayed Boris Betrayal and trust don’t work together!!

Nadine Dorries needs to put her hat in the ring, she epitomises the Conservative Party and would be the perfect person to continue Boris’ legacy GoNads

No candidates can be trusted

Don't rule out Boris standing !

All complicit

I wonder if any NHS workers have any particularly strong views on the possibility of Jeremy_Hunt becoming PrimeMinister..? RhymingSlang

jackwhitechaple No deal

Hunt for prime minister

This is going to be a great viewing. Snakes taking in snakes and at the end we will have another idiot in place full of lies and false commitments sigh

BBCBreaking BBCPolitics BBC PR ChrisMasonBBC Please check here and correct the error detailing RishiSunak as Chancellor

No hope and Bob Hope!

The British people want a General Election to give other parties a chance to guide our Country to a better future for Britain. With the Conservatives we will have more poverty more people evicted from their homes and more unemployment.

As is this fella JacobReesBlob

I won’t vote for any of them I voted for boris let’s have a general elections I certainly will never vote for the back stabbed

Number 10 rapidly becoming a clown car.

🤮

No not Hunt! Rhymes with **** sorry, too much chance of a rude word said when things go wrong haha 😄

A right pair of Jeremys

RIP NHS

Make them fight to the death for it.

Couldn’t care less. Labour are well in front in the polls and will walk the next election. The tories are finished

Hunt won’t get it because of his wife.

It’s the worse version of the apprentice ever

UK need muslim Prime Minister 😪

Jeremy hunt,what a ....😜😜😜

Sajid Javid is one of the few I’d vote for, as well as Ben Wallace

They gonna slag each other for the PM position and then lick the ass of whoever wins for a ministerial job, all of this while we pay £2 a litre of fuel and £3500/year on energy bills. 👍🏻

Neither are suitable for. Any “office”

If jeremy hunt wins say hello to becoming homeless by breaking an arm

RishiAntoinette RishiSunak RishiRich SunakResign SunakOut

Because they left the NHS is such a good place.

Scrap the government it’s all corrupt and who’s gonna listen anymore faith has been lost . Leave the royals do decide the fate of the country . save a fortune not paying them clowns

This is going to be so good to watch. Character assassinations aplenty. Labour just sit back and relax.

Not a cat in hell’s chance, either of them.

Not a chance in hell...!!!! Traitors never return...

We're fucked either way.

I fucking hate this Tory party.. it is so far away from reality Please if someone is going to take over at least let it be someone with some decency, honour and intelligence JohnnyMercerUK

A bad dream is turning into the nightmare we dreaded!
