The top two candidates for the leadership of the Conservative party after all the winnowing by MPs are likely to be Rishi Sunak, the former chancellor, and Penny Mordaunt, darling of the defence establishment. Her ultra-Conservative views, including those which he has volunteered on gender transition, are likely to endear her to, rather than repel, the reactionary party membership. It should also be remembered that she was second only in her party to Boris Johnson in retailing blatant lies about the EU during the Brexit campaign. Since the aforementioned membership appeared to revel in Johnson's lying, it must be supposed that they would endorse his apprentice in the field.
