Tories should have advised Johnson to call a snap election so he could have the chance to prove that he was still popular.

If you believe some rumours, he actually tried that one.

And the latest Private Eye says the palace saw that possibility coming and had prepared for it - by all accounts HM wasn't amused about him fibbing to her over prorogation in 2019.

Do you by any chance have a link to (or pic of) that Private Eye account? Would love to read!

If it's Liz, a new megathread title should be "UK Gen. Discussion: The Premiership of Britain's #1 Mummy Maggie Cosplayer"

Its actually a mildly interesting trivia question - Sunak would be the shortest PM since when exactly?

Thatcher was 5'5 compared to Sunak's 5'7, but was also a woman, so… Churchill's 5'6 is the next best answer.

Sunak is 5'7" and being talked about like he's Verne Troyer? Hell, he's taller than me.

Still shorter than a heelless Theresa May's 5'8", though.

Johnson said "mission accomplished - for now."

Genuinely surprised he didn't slip an "I'll be back" in there.

We'll have to settle for "Hasta la vista, baby" as a close-enough allusion.
