I know this isn't going to win me applause from much of my follower base, but while I have many questions about @Jeremy_Hunt's No-Deal bailout scheme...

... I respect his acknowledgement that a bailout will be necessary, and in some cases even insufficient.

Whatever you may think about his conversion to the necessity of an October Brexit, he is at least conceding that the arguments for such a policy are political while the costs are economic.

I'm far from an expert on the Tory Membership, but I suspect that's not a popular stance.

Any Brexit bailout was always going to get savaged by Remainers (after all, Sunlit Uplands don't need bailouts) and Brexit fanatics (ironically for the same reason), and picked apart by experts, economists and the press.

He knew that, and released one anyway.

I would humbly suggest that, if the UK is to have a leadership contest solely between those determined to risk a No-Deal Brexit in October, it would be best served by TWO candidates who acknowledge the economic implications and whose campaigns include competing management plans.
