There is a serious case for the King dissolving partliament on the grounds that it no longer has a mandate.
Having promised to keep his beak out of politics, there is no chance he is going to do something that seismic in the first couple of months of his reign.
Wouldnāt he only intervene if the Tory couldnāt elect a leader?
What if, as is being suggested, Boris ran and won - surely he has a mandate? It was his manifesto after all, and there could be no complaints about nobody voted for him etc.
We would also save a fortune of redecoration given that it is already decorated to the first ladyās taste. There is no way Truss would have been able to get a decorator in there in 44 days
What will be interesting is will be the difference the new PM makes.
Was Liz Truss so utterly incompetent or has the Tory party become so ungovernable and unleadable that no one stands a chance. Are they now the Mario Balotelli of politics?
She must have had the painters in in 44 days
You are obviously right, but I can dream.
Not forgetting that he was a self-serving incompetent clown as PM who started and drove the rush to the bottom in economic and political terms, but other than that, voters loved his cheeky ways?
Iād suggest thatās not really a mandate to have him back
He probably only nailed it up so they could take it with them when he was booted out.
100 -110 nominations needed to run - they are not fucking about this time
Why not? Sheās done fuck all else.
Jesus Christ, this Back Boris shit has got legs
Are some of these MPs actually mental?
Chris Chope is calling for a GE
Several MPs said they would give up the Whip if Johnson won and one would cross the floor
Truss will receive an Ā£18,000 pay off, and Ā£115,000 a year pension for life. Courtesy of us. Not bad for less than two months āworkā, which consisted of living out her extreme right wing fantasies, and those of her sponsors in Bufton St. Reducing our country to its knees in the process and making us the laughing stock of the world. What a legacy! And itās not finished yet, it all starts again next week, reports of Johnson leaving his sun bed in the Caribbean where he has been skiving, even though parliament is sitting which shows the utter contempt that he has for his constituents, and riding to the rescue. If the Tories are mad enough to make him PM again, and they arenāt known for their sanity, there will be serious disorder on the streets, Iām convinced of that. There will be a straw that breaks the camelās back, and that would be it I reckon. In any sane democracy there would be an automatic GE after the shit show of the past few months, but the democracy ship has sailed from this country. The only way it can be reclaimed now and for the public to get their general election is by an organized, coordinated general strike. Enough is enough, these entitled, lying, corrupt Tory bastards need to be chased out of office. Bring it on.
There is one of those gvt polls calling for a GE, last time I looked it was almost 700,000 signatures.
You sensed the irony then?
I saw an interesting comment on another site - they were pontificating about who was actually pulling the strings in the Tory Party. Boris was forced out, so was Kwasi and so was Truss - by whom?
The flying wardrobe is refusing to get on the Rishi ticket because her faction still resents the tactical voting that elevated Truss above her in the final MP round of voting in the summer. The Sunak camp thought that Truss would be a much easier prospect to overcome with the party membership.
Thanks a bunch Rishi
I think her nickname āHand Grenade Lizā was a bit unfair. With the benefit of hindsight, āMegaton Trussā was far more appropriate.
