I had literally never heard of Rory Stewart before about three days ago.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 26 May 2019 16:12 (five years ago) link
I had, in the context of someone complaining a few months ago about one of the worst modern Foreign Ministers being at 75% approval on a conhome survey while Rory Stewart, who mostly just keeps his head down* and gets on with his work, is at 17%.
*I'm aware that being good at your work as a Tory makes you a bad person, but that's not a differentiating attribute as a Leadership Contest contestant.

No-one, not even Rory Stewart, hopes that Rory Stewart happens as much as Eddie Redmayne does.

It is good.
Just had my mother on the phone feeling sorry for Theresa May, but interrupting with Trumpy talking points when I was trying to outline the Windrush scandal as part of the explanation of why I did not feel sorry that she'd asked for. Then she asked about ‘that Boris guy’ (she thinks he’s ‘creepy looking’) and actually allowed me to run down all the shitty things he’s done. Then on to Brexit itself: ‘why can’t they just have another vote?’

Stewart knows Dari but not Pashto, whereas SV fave/leadership no-hoper Tom Tugendhat says he can speak Dari, Pashto, Arabic, as well as French (he is half French).

no point talking about politics to bookie degenerates, the average punter only reads the back pages of tabloid newspapers. Although they might mistake him for a jockey.

"The percentages are the implied probabilities of each candidate becoming the next Conservative leader, based on the latest betting odds."
here's an idea - just show the betting odds instead, because turning into a percentage doesn't make it any more of a science!

He considers himself a member of the lower-upper-middle classes which means – despite this accent – he’s quite posh but not properly so. Eton and Oxford, yes, but also – if briefly – the Black Watch and, eternally, Scotland too. I suspect he thinks of himself as an outsider on the inside; a member of the club but in some vague way not quite a full, or born, one.
