Stewart's definitely the most palatable of the remaining candidates (although not entirely without issues), but I can't see him standing a hope in hell of winning, mostly because he's palatable to the mainstream and thus not nearly awful enough to appeal to the Tory membership.

apparently running 2nd to Bojo amongst Tory members...which is odd.

I suppose he is the poshest person running, which has got to count for something.

That may or may not be so, I haven't checked. He is the son of a diplomat I think, and worked in that area of government. At this crucial time, that's the sort of person we need. Not a clown who likes to play with words.

I didn’t think you were the sort of person to make generalised disparaging remarks about a minority group. Facist.

I'm surprised at you assuming the word "posh" is disparaging. The assumptions you make both about him and me are disgusting and frankly, I thought better of you!
True, but it is weird as hell. "Laura Kuennsberg interviews Rory Stewart's penis" was the most apposite quote. I mean, who sits like that? How is it even comfortable?
Hell, I don't even think I'm flexible enough to get my legs to move like that, let alone find it comfortable.

But what even could that be? Basically the only thing I can think of would be for him to pick up his speaking notes from the wrong side of his desk drawer and start arguing passionately for a second referendum.

he could say the 350 million was made up; he could say no chance of being out by end Oct; he could say something overtly racist. Loads of traps that could see non ERG MPs give him the elbow. The laxatives was also a clue

Shit has been spewing out of Boris for years, so far it's only making him the favourite
