You know what's upsetting about that? For a decade the Tories have been shafting the country for their and their friends benefit, and the only reason people have started disliking them is because of the turmoil and idiocy of Boris/Truss. But I'd still bet money on them winning a GE if it was called.
Well I don't think anyone could argue that Sunak would have managed to create a cluster**** quite like the current situation. He seems the obvious choice given that he spent the last few months arguing that though he'd like to lower taxes, it couldn't be done when the government finances are under strain anyway after covid. So Truss got elected and proved it.
If you ask the ERG, the 'problems' that occured with Truss only happened because Sunak said they would during the leadership contest. So belief was obviously the issue. I like we're now at Looney Tunes gravity believing levels of reality.

Makes you wonder if they played musical chairs at one of their illegal lockdown parties. Or were they all too busy in the toilets sniffing coke, watching porn and getting noshed off by some old slapper.
I'm going up to London next week, I wonder if I can have a go, I like parties and spending other peoples money
Some of the damning evidence is in the hands of Harriet Harmon, so the Tories can't bury it. Also, some saying BoZo, if successful, is likely to want a GE, giving us our chance to sink the lot of them this year.
Schapps told me he can squeeze you in as PM on Tuesday from 6 am to 8 am, if thats too early in the day don't worry, he assured me that he is personally organising the transport of the Tues - Wed PMs, so feel free to sleep until 4 pm when the bus replacement service for the Uber will turn up.
Can I be squeezed in for a day early in November? Could do with £100k a year for life. I don't mind doing a PMQs, I'll just wobble and bobble and shout 'vestibule!' every now and then.
Got you pencilled in on 4th Nov for PMQs, you'll also have to do a lunch with a saudi prince to draft your resignation honours list tho.
You'd probably need an entire term just get your head around the levels of **** the country is in, let alone formulate any coherent plan to deal with it. But, for the sake of the conversation at hand - I'll take the cabinet meeting. Not to achieve anything constructive, I just want to tell them all to **** off. To their faces.
Tweet— Twitter API (@user) date I assume/hope that means 100 are supporting him for leader... and he's not gone round and hit/hit on 100 mps... But this is the tory party so you can never be certain.
And once you've done that any solution you propose has to survive contact with the HoC, HoL, reality as well as all the political jockeying behind the scenes. And you also have to set yourself up to fail because if you don't make impossible to achieve promises then you aren't gonna compete for the job in the first place. So yeah the job of PM is a poison chalice at best and only gets worse from there when there are actual large problems (at least if you want to take the job seriously). In the past however we've had people who at least gave it a go, take Thatcher for example... I may disagree with many of her decisions but if you compare her to her poundstore cosplay that couldn't last as long as a lettuce and you can clearly see that the quality of recent PMs is very very far below what it once used to be.
