Things are getting interesting, with at least five candidates for the new Tory leader now, including Nicky Morgan and Jeremy Hunt also considering his options. I wonder who will get the job and who will be the best person to lead the negotiations with the EU...

I feel a bit sorry for Jeremy Corbyn, he was (perhaps still is?) adamant that he was staying put and he lost the vote of no confidence. Can anyone see an obvious potential replacement for him?

I think Corbyn could still win the election for leader - the current electorate still seem to like and won't like a coup. Whether he can actually continue with the party as it is is another matter.

It has been mooted that there is now effectively 2 other possible official opposition parties, the 170 who voted against Corbyn and the SNP who with 56 have more MPs than Corbyn's 40.

So Michael Gove is standing for leader - I didn't see that coming, Boris must be upset. I'm not sure how much of a chance Theresa May has, being a 'remainer', but I would quite like a woman for a PM, maybe it would make it easier to sort out a few things with Angela Merkel.

Going to be dozens of them I think

Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.

Looking down the list one wonders how soon an emigration application to the moon would take to process.

Yeah, if that's the list of the best we can produce for our future PM it's depressing. Backs up us needing free movement of people all the more!

But, looking on the bright side, it's very fortunate Nigel F. left the Conservatives a long while back and hasn't defected back in time for today's deadline.

Yeah, free movement of politicians - one way only. There's a thought. Though I did hear someone yesterday suggesting Obama should be our next PM.

Whether it is a man or a woman, I don't think that would make any difference for Angela.

Surely you'll be supporting Michael Gove who now has the backing of Nicky Morgan no less! They did such a great job with our education system how could they fail to make Britain a dominant world power with our superior command of the fronted adverbial!

I guess he listened to his wife. What do you make of the email sent "by accident " to a third party?
