The self-proclaimed “world’s most sophisticated electorate” of Tory MPs has given us the sketch-writer's dream ending.

After Tuesday 's third round of voting it seemed an inevitability that James Cleverly was going to make it through to the final two .

Jimmy Dimly had had the stunning insight that the support of just 120,000 Tory members wasn’t enough to win the Tories an election.

So on Wednesday , the 120 Tory MPs Rishi Sunak didn't vote had just one job.

Desperate for their own destruction, the Tory MPs chose the two most incompetent and deranged candidates.

Rishi Sunak could barely land a blow in the first PMQs for several weeks .

He began with a tired dig about Sue Gray .

He thought Starmer was against fire and rehire. The old ones are the old ones.

What had the Tories ever done for the country over the past 14 years ?.
