It's no longer a case of getting on board quick because Johnson is unstoppable.

Re: Liz Truss Resigns [Who'll be the next Prime Minister?]
It’s come to something when we’re left debating the least worst option. 
Sunak and Johnson both got partygate fines. In another era that would have been enough to prompt resignations or cause there to be serious questions over their suitability for high office.
Yet here we are contemplating Sunak as the safe option, just because Boris’ behaviour was so egregious it wasn’t just off the probity scale, it completely broke it.

We can’t keep having a revolving door. I say it still needs to go back to the country.

Definitely time for an election but there is no way the Conservative Party will go to the polls with such low polling.
Sunak also broke the law with Partygate but Partygate alone was insufficient to bring Johnson down. There were at least three other reasons on top of the misleading Parliament charge: - The Chris Pincher affair
- The cost of living crisis - and a tax rise
- Owen Paterson row
I think the above explains why Sunak is a more acceptable Prime Minister to the electorate than Johnson, despite his Partygate fine.

Re: Liz Truss Resigns [Who'll be the next Prime Minister?]
Sunak has a perception of economic competence, and the furlough scheme stood by people when times were tough.
Rightly or wrongly the above are politically an asset in current times, and if things get inevitably worse next year for many due to mortgage rates and energy costs at least he can say he has a track record.

Re: Liz Truss Resigns [Who'll be the next Prime Minister?]
Johnson’s camp claiming to have the numbers now.
Not sure if he has though, seems odd he has far fewer MPs who’ve gone public with it. If he doesn’t reach 100 I wonder if he might throw them to Penny Mordant? 22/1…might be worth a bet ��
