There’ll be lots of dirt dug up on the candidates before the election.
Rory Stewart owned up to smoking opium in Iran fifteen years ago. He does look like a nerdy schoolboy so we can rule him out. He’s also anti brexit unlike virtually all the others.
I don’t think Boris will win. Probably Gove but Raab will no doubt do well and end up with a high profile job
Slightly ironic that Rory Stewart is described as being anti-Brexit when he has been the main cheerleader for the deal which would have taken us out in March if enough Tories had backed it.
His anti-No Deal rhetoric will mean the only way he can possibly win is by being the only candidate standing and it not being voted on by the Membership (which ain’t gonna happen).
If you want an insight into Stewart, give his recent Political Thinking podcast a listen. A good episode (as they all are generally).
