That's Cleverly who was in several of the previous failed governments who went out on TV and lied repeatedly for Johnson & didnt turn up to vote on Johnson's punishment report for the lies? The fact that he is the only answer atm shows how screwed the Tories are.

The question for Tory MPs and members should be who is going to win most votes for the Tories for which the obvious answer is Cleverly as in OP. The fact they’re not seeing that is more the reason why they’re screwed as opposed to the attributes of the least worst candidate though not insignificant.

He was picked to do that because he's a good liar.

Sure, but then for all we might not like them, the question “who should lead the Conservative Party?” probably *should* receive the answer “A Tory.”
