Meanwhile, Conservative voters still split evenly on whether or not this all was a good idea:

It's just completely surreal to see the pace of this. Obviously I've seen leaders manage to completely wreck their countries' economies (and their own parties' standing in the process), but I don't recall anything happening close to this fast. Campbell at least had like three months somewhat holding the line before the nosedive. Liz Truss became Prime Minister this month!

Just to be clear, if over 2/3 of the Conservative party favored some consensus choice for PM, could they conspire to have that MP make the top two along with a controlled second choice who could immediately withdraw like Leadsom did in 2016?

On a lighter note, a former Deputy Prime Minister has been accused of taking bribes from OnlyFans.

I've had some embarrassing MPs, haven't I?

We may have reached the point where Sheffield Hallam has to be considered in the same bracket as Rochdale, Peterborough, Leicester East and the entire county of Shropshire.

God, now you’ve made me imagine what Cleggamind would look like. Why did you do this.

Motion to rename the megathread "UK General Discussion: The Hunt for Red October"?

Should be “The C*nt for Red October” if we’re doing this.

Looks like the pigf**ker caucus is firmly in control now. Wonder how the party membership will take this?

Governing is when you Growth, and the more Growth you Growth, the more Growther it Growth.


This government feels like a bad parody of US pseudolibertarian right wing tendencies a decade ago.

Now that means the PM loses the whip, right?

Very refreshing that the Brits will now have to suffer under the governance of an evil Indian man. How the turn tables.

At least wait until he lasts a few months before making that claim.


On another note, has there been any indication yet as to who's going to be in Cabinet?

I see a lot of people on here have nicknamed the King "Brian". I get it's a joke of some sort, but I don't understand the joke.

It’s the name he was given in Private Eye satire. Iirc this is where “Brenda” for Elizabeth II came from as well.

So here’s a fun tidbit: Sunak is the second PM since 1900 (the other is Churchill) to take over from a predecessor of the same party but not serve in a Great Office of State under that predecessor.

Jul. 6th: BoJo - "I'm not resigning."
Jul. 7th: BoJo - Gone.

Oct. 13th: Kwarteng - "I'm 100% not going anywhere."
Oct. 14th: Kwarteng - Gone.

Oct. 19th: Truss - "I'm a fighter, not a quitter."
Oct. 20th: Truss - Gone.

Oct. 31st: Cruella:
Nov. 1st: Cruella - Huh

Well, if she makes it to Nov 1 it means her tenure at least lasted a day longer than Shapps.

At the very least, the Brits have finally done away with the grammatical abomination that is the "Department of Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport".

One thing I’ll say - now that they’ve done this, I desperately hope he makes it through the next year. He presided over the start of the s**tshow, he deserves to be there for the spectacular end.
