Please tell me the cross-in-a-circle and "read more" are part of the poster and not just artifacts of your screen shot.
The cross in the circle is a Twitter artefact, the rest is what was left in place by the design - included the greyish boxes in the background from the Powerpoint slide template they used.
If you take out the political references it looks like he runs an office supplies company.
I think the bosses of Viking would object strongly to the suggestion that they are so amateurish.
Frankly, David Brent would have a better-designed image

Shame his staff can only use PowerPoint...poorly...and did their last graphic designs in 1988.
I definitely want to vote for the CWF chairman

This would be a small family run company. Granny did the website after doing a two day course at the pensioners' club. She only really goes for the chat and the biscuits.

There's a certain irony that the principle policy of Conservative Way
Forward is to take the Conservative Party (and the UK)
Back to the '50s, possibly the 1850s*.
A quick look at the listed
membership, past and present, gives you a good idea what the C in CWF stands for.
*or if you want to be really pedantic "the 80s, possibly the 1880s".
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

seriously, that's his poster?
Jesus christ.
what's the deal with the squiggle under him? It looks like a cartoon representation of when someone has been hit on the head and is dazed, or maybe it's meant to be pubes
Handset cord from a landline telephonic device. That was as hi-tech as it got in 1988.

Twitter noticed that Rishi registered his leadership campaign website back in December.

Well, he could hardly ask the rest of us to be Ready for Rishi if he himself weren't Ready for Ready for Rishi.
Plus he's a billionaire so spaffing a few months' extra domain registration ain't nothing.
We have the right to a clean, healthy, sustainable environment.

Why would I subscribe to that when we've been able to watch him f.ck millions of vulnerable people for free?

And now thrown it out again. Backing Suella Braverman. Someone who couldn't even have the courage/ability to resign properly from Johnson's government even when it was clear he was doomed.

Oh my life, my MP is backing Liz Truss. I know there isn't exactly a huge array of good options to choose from, but my opinion of him has just sunk even further.

Shapps has announced. Presumably he can do all eight signatures himself.
I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list if that’s still in the works

The important thing is Shapps will finally allow the Tories to draw a lot under the Johnson years and move on from that terrible period when their leader was a narcissistic fantasist with a proven track record of dishonesty and outright criminality.

Shapps is out - backing Rishi...
Patel is keeping her powder dry by not standing or backing anyone yet.
Truss has the support of JRM and Dorries - so the lunatic wing of the party is well represented.
Watched a clip of Tugendhats speech - seemed flat. I think his weird name may rule him out.
Badenoch gave a decent speech and had some cheerers... has Michael Gove in her corner - could be one to watch.
Mourdaunt seems to be garnering support too... apparently is popular with members.
Zahawi already seems dogged by dodgy tax affairs - and his judgment can't be great to accept the Chancellor job immediately before ousting Boris.
Will be interesting to see where things are this evening... it may be that everyone standing makes it to the first vote... I figured they'd raise the bar to 30-40 or so supporters to get the list down more quickly.

You’re all getting very excited with this circus. I’m going to be watching the Trump hearing circus today instead which may be even more loony.
The only think I’m prepared to bet on with regard to the Tory contest is that a tw.t will win it.
I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list if that’s still in the works

Hence why I said she's not standing... she seems to be keeping her power dry in terms of who to throw her support behind to improve her chances of landing a bigger cabinet role (or perhaps keeping her current one).

Home Secretary is one of the Great Offices of State, along with Foreign Sec and Chancellor (and obvs PM), so there isn't much higher she could go, and her skills of being chief drawbridge-raiser means she'll probably keep that job, unless she falls out with the new PM.
