Bozzas disappeared on another foreign holiday.

Tbf its only been a week since his last one...

How much Annual Leave do you get as PM? Someone should definitely check his leave slip.

Also check his declaration to see which Tory funder paid for it.

Apparently Boris is getting heckled and booed by British holidaymakers in Greece

Italian TV reported to have shown a British man shouting ‘get back to work you fat ponce’

Not to mention the nodding dogs.

I hope for all our sakes you are wrong, Seph.

I think Truss has a lot of answers that I agree with. However, I have no idea whether she has it in her to actually see them through.

She is the better candidate, definitely. I think we should give her a chance to see what she’s made of.

MPs have already started deserting Rishi for Liz, so they must see something that gives them confidence.

Make a sentence, sinking, rats, a, ship, leaving

and there you have it, what they see is opportunism, a chance to boost their careers by being on the winning side, bit like old blunder woman herself actually

i think you're being a bit unfair, Seph. According to polling, she's capable of delivering a Labour victory at the next election. :D

You ask her a question about what she's doing to help people through the crisis; she trots out the tuppence worth of help she's offering "from day 1". When asked whether or not shell remove the 5% VAT on energy, she pleads that she shouldn't pre-judge the budget. The lying woman knows that her offer "doesn't touch the sides" of the problem (Sunak's words) but she's so desperate to be PM that she doesn't care that her offer is valueless - she knows it's valueless.

We can see what she's made of.

How could anyone, seriously, think that Starmer would make a better PM?

Come on, this isn’t the jokes thread!

You’re wrong on that. It is a general principle that you don’t talk about what is in the budget in advance because people take advantage of that knowledge. She is simply sticking to that principle.

The Civil Servants have been instructed to work up options to deal with this energy bill crisis and when she is in office, she will review that and make a decision.

You should at least give her a chance, Seph. You are getting as cynical and downbeat as the socialist-minded posters on here! Please don’t encourage them, it is extremely depressing to hear all this negative nonsense.

A new dictionary definition - anyone who doesn’t totally agree with OB’s blindly sycophantic views is "cynical and downbeat" and/or "socialist-minded" or "negative"…

Your first sentence contradicts the second!

She will make Johnson look like he was a successful Prime Minister! :D

I saw Hugh jumping on you for your observation! I can see where you are coming from in relation to my assessment - but "give her a chance" to do what? She's offered nothing substantial but just repeats what she's said before.

The nodding dogs ensured that fresh blood would not be in the last two and I'm worried that the same ministerial failures, or at least half of them, her patrons, will find themselves ruining the country again.

Methinks you're getting a bit snow flaky here, Old Boy. Some random comments about Johnson can't be classified as extremely depressing. :D

Anyone that's seen her in action can tell blunder woman's completely out of her depth in pretty much any situation, a mixture of volcanic gloop and ear wax would be a better candidate for pm than her
