I haven’t heard either way… I have a feeling though that he’s resigned to losing and is just trying to preserve what little dignity his party has left by not triggering yet another change in leadership between elections. Nothing that he’s said or done tells me that he and his team really care about the election.
The Conservative Party is notoriously unforgiving of leaders who lose general elections, and currently pathologically addicted to leadership elections. I’d be very surprised if he’s not gone by the end of the year even if he does exceptionally well in the general election.
Yeah definitely and good riddance to him. I think they should ask Rory Stewart to come back. They won’t do that of course but I feel like he’s the only decent guy they’ve had near the top in as long as I can remember.
If Rory Stewart were standing in my constituency, I would be very tempted to vote for him. In his work he’s now an advocate of alleviating many of the problems in the poorest communities globally by giving no-conditions cash. Who knew that the problems of poverty could be solved with money?!!!
He’s also a reasonable person and one who I think genuinely wants good things for the country in general rather than just for rich folk. He actually wants Britain to be governed well and in the interests of the population. He has some blind spots of course, he wouldn’t be a Conservative of he didn’t, but he’s decent and there’s hope that he can be persuaded by evidence of benefit.
