It's ironic that Kwarteng said he ain't going nowhere and Truss said shes's a fighter, not a quicker. They're both went a day after saying it!

The Tories have the inability to see how their policies will be viewed by the public. Reducing taxes for the very well off was almost as bad as the poll tax.

I think there will have to be a rule change to avoid legal challenges as the Conservatives are not giving party members a vote.

I not sure they can legally side step the Tory membership as it’s in the T&C’s. They could all get together and bring a court case against the government which could end up in the high court, taking months/years to resolve.

Well I think they have shown that they can't be trusted to find somebody competent enough for the job.

I think Labour would fear Penny Mordaunt, but not Rishi as they can use the old, "well you helped created the mess argument"

A slap-up meal and a few glasses of wine should satisfy you and the other members. :)

Perhaps if about 20 MPs throw their hat into the ring Truss might be forced to call a GE.

The name Boris is being thrown about, MPs who want him back need their heads examined and if he gets in I'll need a bigger vomit bucket!
