I'm popping out to the supermarket. I'm wondering if we'll still have a government when I get back. :lol: :lol:

I really can’t keep up with this, if the chief Whip and deputy have gone, how can she pretend she can function.


This is unbelievable

The Whips voted against as did May, Patel and our former chancellor…


Edit: add Wallace and TRUSS to that list. Our PM failed to vote…. I’m done.

An election is out of the question now for the Tories. We're heading towards landslide. Their best bet would be to get Sunak in number ten as quickly as possible. He's the only one MPs will get behind and must be loving the circus show.

A lot of Conservative voters would come out of the woodwork if a Labour landslide was predicted.

Regardless of the chaos, a lot of blue voters just couldn't ever vote for Labour government and a lot of them won't admit it in a poll.

Polls are an emotive measure.

But I think it's pretty obvious Labour would win.

Ben Wally is in Ukraine. Sky reports Truss decided at the last minute not to have a confidence vote and give MPs a free vote, without telling the chief wipe!

There appears to have been a riot in the lobby. Reeves-Mogg shouting at his colleagues and MPs being manhandled. They've been calls for an investigation. :D

Imagine the embarrassment of being manhandled by Mogg. I could never look in the mirror again, I would never be able to make love again. That deep shame

I'd just smack him in the mouth. :D

Tory MPs seem very three brass monkeys about the incident. They must have all been looking out the windows. :lol:

Yes and it won't matter, that block also existed in 1997 when Tories drew 30% of votes and got washed out.
