My wife has just told me that Boris Johnson is not to stand for Conservative leader. That is bad news for Labour as him being in charge of the Conservatives would result in a return to the numerous lies that caused him to resign before.
This means that the options are Penny Mordaunt or Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister. As a Labour voter, the one I fear the most is Penny Mordaunt, she is a brilliant communicator. While not as good as Boris Johnson in communication, she carries an air of competence.
The one I fear the least is Rishi Sunak and the reason for this is simple, it is racism. Not everyone who is against him will be driven by this, but a significant number will be driven by unconscious bias or outright racism. Earlier today we watched this clip on YouTube when the reason for this voter not voting for Rishi Sunak is racism, though later, they managed to find other excuses not to back him. No matter how good Rishi Sunak is, there is a large number of people who will not vote for him due to the colour of his skin.
For the record, Rishi Sunak is British. I would like to remind anyone who reads this that our King is the son of an immigrant, one who served our nation along with many others. We have members of Team GB who are not white and if Rishi Sunak is not British, those athletes such as Denise Lewis who have won medals for the United Kingdom have actually won it for other nations.
