The lack of depth in their party shows why they clung onto a discredited PM so long. Breaking the law, manifesto promises and lying would, ordinarily, finish anyone else.

I think the genuine Conservative supporters are feeling quietly chuffed putting this choice to the membership.

I was just thinking the same of the Labour Party. They’ve just hounded out of office the person they set up to lose the next election. Now they are contemplating standing up against Margaret Thatcher mark II with added venom!

Whichever candidate wins, they will demolish Mr Hindsight.

I take comfort in the fact your predictions are among the worst on the forum.

For someone who is so obsessed with Boris Johnson’s ‘lies’ you sure do tell some porkies yourself.

I'm not sure that honoured Conservative supporters on the forum like Seph feel remotely this way. And Mad Max having viewed the list hoping to be the next PM now wants to give Johnson another chance!

As ever OB has the blinkers on and cannot see what’s obvious to everyone else.
A continuity of a Government devoid of talent, devoid of ideas, devoid of integrity, devoid of principles, devoid of small c conservatism.
A 1980s Government with no solutions for 2020s Britain. A half decent Labour leader should be able to seize his or her Tony Blair moment. Even the Tories say the country is in the shit.

Of course its an option.

Well a bit more global warming would help with the sunshine needed for solar panels, unless of course you dont want to travel for a few months each year.

The issue of the UK's dependency on global energy prices due to the government allowing UK generating capacity to be closed without replacement capacity. Having said that, I'm not sure that any G7 country is doing particularly well on the energy front. France's nuclear sector is running into countless problems and Germany's dependence on Russian gas is now biting it.

You removed the conditional part of my sentence thus rendering its meaning entirely different. The full sentence was:

So the choice is between Liz " Abolish the Monarchy" Truss and Sunak who, lets remember:
https://twitter.com/withorpe/status/1549791854736048128
Quote:
was one of a group of hedge fund bosses that made about £100m after launching a 2007 hostile activist campaign against ABN Amro bank resulting in its sale to RBS, and RBS's subsequent £45b bailout by the British public. Sunak became a multi millionaire
|
The best bit about all of this is that the loyal Tory faithful have to pretend that either of these two are fit for office

Instead, the new Conservative PM will inherit a huge creaking economic mess and will face humiliation at the 2024 general election, gifting the Opposition multiple terms in power.
