Why not calling for a snap election? The Tories are in disarray, can't effectively lead. Just end this.

Cause they know they’ll be destroyed

Nicola Strugeon should be the next PM just so she can free Scotland

What is the shortest legitimate parliamentary turnover in history? I don’t mean like a death or coup but a scenario like this

Jesus I just realized conservatives have been in power for 12 years. No wonder the UK is such a mess

Apparently just a few days ago Truss pleaded with some of her own MPs that she should at least be allowed to remain PM until early 2023, which would have meant her just outdoing Canning.

At the time many may have been inclined to agree, if only out of sympathy.

But then she wantonly, and totally of her own free will, blew everything up yesterday.

Atleast Canning had the excuse of dying

So the next leader will serve for what? Three weeks?

Those are rookie numbers! They need to have another five by the end of the year

What I desperately want to happen is Johnson sims the election, only to be forced into an election where conservatives are destroyed with less then 5 members including Sunak so he becomes leader by default

Or even funnier he still fails to become leader

Well - it could be worse. At least we’ve disavowed Trussonomics as a country. Some people want to give it another try…

First Yorkshire based MP to ever become PM in fact.

Clearly the only significant first about Sunak

Isn't that exactly how House of Cards begins?

On the one hand yes, but on the other hand Francis Urquhart was a respected Chief Whip, lecturer in Italian renaissance politics and former Guards officer, whilst Penny Mordaunt is an ex-PR hack and magician’s assistant.

With no more than 20 butthurt supporters at best.

I like Mordaunt a lot, but that's partly because I have a soft spot for powerful women who are also cringe and fail.

I’m with her Purple heart

I think this is the first poll we've seen with fieldwork entirely after Sunak became PM:



Early days, but just six weeks ago that would have been astonishingly bad for the Tories.



At this rate they’ll win 100% of seats by the next general election lol

And so it begins…

Mark my words. Just like the GOP, putting party over country will pay off.

Quote me: BEST case scenario for Labour is 350 seats. And even that is a stretch


“mUh bUt wUt aBoUt gEorGiA!!”

I truly hope Sunak doesn’t survive the winter and 10 Downing Street continues being a revolving door that kills the Tories

LMFAO.

Have the Tories become addicted to leadership coups? I think the party needs an intervention.

(obviously I wouldn't take this particularly seriously)

Once you pop you just can’t stop
