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!
The thing about Boris is they can argue he is the only one with a mandate from 2019.

Get your bucket ready Derek. 😂🍷🍺🤮

Brady saying the membership will have a say…

They are going to go for Penny. Another shambles looming.

They need a safe pair of hands, steady the ship, GE in spring

It's 5/4 Mordaunt and Sunak, take your pick.

Back in the summer I liked the sound of Mordaunt until I heard more about her work in the trade negotiations and how weak she is with detail. She will be another Truss.

I rather Sunak win - but I want them all out. As soon as possible.

Don't feel too downhearted political comedians. The next leader could be even better. The Tory party is the gift that keeps giving. :D

Oh god, hearing Boris is toying with the idea but unlikely to have the support of enough MP’s

I'd like to see Johnson get elected and half the MPs resign in disgust. There are enough of them who want nothing to do with him. I'll still need my vomit bucket though.

44 days, broke the record by more than 60%.

She promised to deliver, deliver, deliver. Then she promised growth, growth, growth. Now she's promising to go, go, go. :D

Hearing so many lemons on the radio rooting for Boris to come back. We bring it on ourselves.

Made a nice bundle on Truss leaving b4 Christmas

Wonder if Starmer is worth a punt. The Tories might not be able to get their act together and we have a GE

Could well be. That's changed substantially since I posted 5/4 the pair an hour ago!

I think he was about 12 before Truss's resignation.

Starmer out to 120 now. It will only take a bit more chaos in the leadership contest, which is almost guaranteed, with arguments over member voting it's not likely to run smoothly, and that price could crash down.
