I think he wants out of it all.
Seems odd to mention it’d likely be his last ministerial job otherwise. He was stung by the non-dom stuff, and handled it very cack handedly. He doesn’t need this shit, he’s a multi-millionaire and his wife’s a billionaire, and I reckon he’s just gonna do one.

there's not many of them that haven't been tarred with some scandal or other
Raab was as complicit as Boris in the Pincher thing, and he was the front runner at least according to the betting sites.
Gove, Rees Mog, christ know who'll they end up with when the music stops
just saw an article of the odds. Mordaunt is favourite. they have Rishi as second favourite but I'm inclined to agree with you, it's not the actions of bloke gunning for the job (unless he's so sure of the numbers he can afford to act like he's not interested until he shows his hand, I guess) www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jul/05/who-are-the-favourites-to-succeed-boris-johnson

My guess is that it will be Jeremy Hunt.
Beaten by Boris for the leadership last time, he has kept his distance from the shit show and will probably appeal to the Tories as a 'new start' candidate. Having said that, he is still a cunt.

It needs to be someone who can admit that the last 10 years has been utter shite
Not sure they've got anyone willing to do that
