If Rishi Sunak hits 120 votes he qualifies for the final immediately and therefore presumably retures temporarily from the fray (could happen to a secoond candidate but seemingly v unlikely
However, this would leave 120+ Rishi supporters free to vote for someone else?

If Liz gets throuhh then I'd expect her to be the next PM. Otherwise it'll depend on whether the members vote for Rishi to stop Penny, or vote for Penny to stop Rishi.

Of the lot it was a) Suella Braverman or b) Kemi Badenoch for me so I am now at a bit of a loss.

So, none of the above, thank you very much. The Tories are in a dangerous place I think.
