Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
I've reluctantly decided on Truss.
John Redwood is expected to take up a Treasury ministership if she wins.
If he's advising her, that's good enough for me.
Those of you have have bad things to say about JR know nothing about him.

Go on tell us about JR. What's his favourite jumper? Who was his first snog? What's his view on Zak Crawley continuing to open the innings for England?

Nah - you're not "one of us".

IMHO the only good advice he can give Truss is to call an election. Anything else is just padding out the inevitable and will keep the Conservatives out of power for longer as they will be remembered as the party of low ethics, high fuel prices and a recession.
A shrewd move would be to let Starmer win and govern during the recession. Then five years down say "We told you they couldn't be trusted with the economy" and win another three terms.

Certainly not "one of them". What's the point of debating anything about the Conservatives with Mr. K?

In fairness to Seph, he’s transparent about what that means.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
Just like she judged having an affair which broke up a marriage was OK?

Jeez - you do drag up irrelevancies. She will, no doubt, have a number of red lines in terms of ministerial behaviour.

Sorry Seph but I disagree. How can it be an irrelevancy when ethics is what brought down our last Prime Minister and several of his MPs?
This would seem a strange choice of area to cut back in.

These Starmerites just can't help themselves.

Not sure who that comment can be aimed at - neither Seph, Hugh nor I tick the Starmerite box.

I think Boris was a one-off. If the next PM screws up in this regard, the press will have no mercy. She's throwing herself on their mercy.
I just hope that this is a sincere start to the eradication of diversity officers/structures on the public payroll.
