There were no obvious winners in the Tory leadership contest on Tuesday, as the process - which must somehow come to a resolution in less than 48 hours - meandered forward frustratingly slowly.
Jeremy Hunt continued to maintain a distant second place on 46, a fact his team repeated over and over again on Tuesday evening, sidestepping the inconvenience of adding just three votes. It is clear the moderniser caucus that had backed Matt Hancock and might have been Mr Hunt's for the taking had gone elsewhere.Michael Gove's campaign refuses to die, despite the cocaine revelations of 10 days ago, but refuses to surge either, staying in third place, five votes behind Mr Hunt.
There were some moments of drama, with Mr Javid bouncing colleagues into an external review of Islamophobia - a commitment which they will need to be reminded of by tomorrow so as not to wriggle out of. Mr Hunt was commended for his tax plans, while Mr Johnson declined to concede that his comments over Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe lengthened her jail sentence in Iran.

SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson But how? Just by making statements saying that we’ll do no deal? The holding the gun to the head strategy
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson THE ARTICLE 24 'PLAN': Sir Ivan Rogers... …
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Just one small problem - no deal equals no “transition”, except in the sense that no deal means being nowhere, and anything that happens is transiting to somewhere. Could be years. Meanwhile “no deal” situation continues, including hard border between EU & all of UK. “Plan” fails
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Why are none of the media outlets explaining what GATT XXIV actually is, this would only apply if we were seeking a customs union or a FTA, we cant negotiate a FTA until we have left which is what the WA is all about....
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Candidates will not challenge Johnson when they're all singing from much the same hymn-sheet, and thinking of careers. So much depends on journalists countering rhetoric with facts.
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson This is SKY FAKE NEWS BULLSHIT! Boris mede an analogy of the London charging area, A line with different systems on each side. The EU made it a monster but now have changed their mind. If both sides want to sort it, it can be done
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Plan? What plan?
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Get away with, implies it is somehow not proper, legal or right .... bit biased there? BBC C4 and Sky all left leaning?
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson What plan? I'm planning to solve Reimann hypothesis, and might have gotten away with it if not for....
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson What plan?
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Carillion
BethRigby SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson BorisJohnson must have devised his 'plan' while riding a unicorn in lalaland. He refers to Gatt 24, which can't be applied without a plan/schedule in place for a trade agreement + for the Irish border he refers to transition period which won't happen with no deal.utterconfusion
BethRigby SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson 'Getting away with a plan'? Look what Britain is reduced to in 2019-a Baldrick cunning plan that the smarter people in the E.U. 27 countries will somehow fall for despite all the evidence after 3 years to the contrary.
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson You mean he actually has a plan?
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Rory Stewart has tried to do the job that the “press” used to do , ask probing questions and check the answers against facts. He knows Johnson will win but wants us to hear the answers to the questions we would ask. We need detail
BethRigby SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Oh. He has one?
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson There’s a plan?....
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Two choices stay with EU and be a rule taker . Or leave and enhance the AREADY irish border. that it cannot be done is a fallacy perpetuated by EU and remainers.
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson by getting away with it, you mean in terms of becoming PM or brexit on Oct 31st?
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson Pointless debates. Nothing but a PR stunt to erase the memory Theresa May. Whoever is elected (not by the public) will just deliver more of the same. But hey, it’s all tax deductible right?👍
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson My concern is who his “advisers” are?
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson This clip about sums up last night's debate, a very strange format to use.
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson ‘Get away with’ 😂 You mean enact what his peers voted him to do?
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson The total denial of reality continues. Fantasy will win because it means we don't have to confront the real choices. The question of the backstop represents the whole dilemma of brexit: stay close to the EU but be a rule taker or move away from the EU but damage the union/trade!
SamCoatesSky BorisJohnson When I look at Boris, I just see oaf. General election is what we need, we need to get real people into the houses of parliament.
What is it?
They all evade the 'R' Words - Revoke and Referendum. Chicken.
His plan is there is no plan.
Because you won't scrutinise him.
Leave the EU, Keep our 39 Billion, if the EU then want to erect a border then Ireland can blame them for what follows, all we have to do at any N.I. border is wave goods through then block anything we choose at the ports in the UK. NotRocketScience
God help the country we are already a laughing stock thanks to May this clown will be the finish of us
There is no plan and EU will not compromise
Five white men?
Meanwhile tonight electricity was in the air!
What plan 😂
You'll be sorry
Still arrogant enough to believe that even though the EU approach to there being no renegotiations hasn’t shifted since the Withdrawal Agreement that they’re simply going to return to Brussels, throw down the gauntlet and the EU27 are simply going to roll over and concede.
It's like getting away with murder.
I thought theresa_may was scary with the tribal dancing but BorisJohnson (Worzel Gummidge) will scare even the birds away! 🤣
Doubt it! Anyone with half a brain cell can see he is blagging it!
?
Boris is the Usain Bolt of this race 😊
I bloody hope not
Boris Johnson doesn’t have a Brexit plan.
He may be selected as Leader of the Cons and Unionist Party, but I can't believe he would get away with anything once he gets back to Parliament... I have an old hat marinading in chilli and Henderson's Relish just in case.
If the PM does not deliver WTO Brexit in October. The Tories are finished for ever - hand keys to Number 10 Downin Street to a Marxist!
Surely that reads “Johnson May”
Can Boris win the PM race
