We all lost to Liz Truss.

In practice, the tory members are out of the game now. The 1922 itself decides the rules (they may have to put those rules through conference at some point - can't be arsed to check - but they certainly the body that seems to have the power to change the rules in these kind of circumstances). Things are so bad at the moment that the poll mentioned upthread about members being happy for it to be done by MPs is probably itself sufficient for the Brady Bunch to take charge.

Zero at the moment. Whether because there's a ruthless politico behind the blustering exterior or because he just can't be fagged doesn't really matter - he's not going to come back unless he can waltz to victory like in 2019, and that hardly seems plausible right now.

What complete bollocks. We deserve someone who won't sell us all down the river for a few donations from hedge fund types.

I've no idea what will happen next except that Truss is toast and the Tories will try to come up with some plan to replace her that allows them to avoid a general election that they will lose.
They may well fail in that attempt because the tories have no idea what they are doing. I think we need to remember that. It's not just Truss who's a fuckwit. There are hundreds of them in parliament. Every MP who voted for Truss, for starters.

PMQs should be fun. If Starmer doesn't open with "How nice of the current PM to join us" there's something wrong with the world.
Also "last week the right honourable member for South West Norfolk tried to turn this into Leader of the Opposition's Questions. A reminder that she is, for now at least, still supposed to be answering the questions asked."

He's also got to hit her with her absolute promise of no spending cuts, that she made during PMQs last week.

Well, that throw me, anyway, back to Truss.

Similarly, he needs to open the first PMQs with whoever the new one is with, 'we'd like to welcome this week's prime minster...'

There is a truly brilliant episode of the Muppets where Dr Honeydew invents flammable water and then accidentally starts a fire in the lab. Beaker is running around screaming trying to extinguish the fire only for things to get much worse.
Pretty much sums up the governing of this country at the moment.

Tbh, though I know what you mean, "trying something out then changing if it turns out to not work" actually seems like a fairly sensible approach in general terms!
Also, sure this point has been made already, but he lost in a contest to Liz Truss among Tory members. That's a different contest, judged on different metrics, to a general election among the general public.
Not saying he would win, simply that his loss to Truss is not necessarily indicative of how he'd fare with the wider public.
