Liz Truss’s time is up

[bimble]

what if nobody gets 100 MPs to back them by monday, then what. Is it something to do with the king then?

what if nobody gets 100 nominations then what does the king just tell them to fuck off.

I like the idea of locking them all in until they come to an agreement, like a papal enclave.

E2A but the idea of making smoke is a bit risky, given the state of the palace of Westminster.

Excellent idea, lock them in a tightly sealed space and give them a charcoal burner.

No food or drink and a couple of bottles of brandy/revolvers between them would sort things out sharpish.

If Boris Johnson is going to run for leader again, well, I see no reason why Cameron and May shouldn't join.

 

[DaveCinzano]

One good reason why Cameron can't join in, he's not an MP.

That's why the 22 should institute a wild card!

It'll be an online vote! What could possibly go wrong.

*if there is more than one candidate

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I suspect that there will be only one candidate, and it will be Mordaunt.

All handcuffed to the pipework with an available hacksaw and the corpse of Thatcher under a nearby blanket.

Have labour hired Robby Mook as election manager cos that tweet has Hilary dust all over it.

Which one will pleasure themselves with a wine bottle on the No. 10 lawn?

Do we really need this?

Nah, it's my turn I think, though it's a bit like jury service. I'm hoping my verruca gets me out of it.

You're right about the first bit. It depends who wants to be/they want to, throw under a bus. At best they are looking at getting thrashed in May 2024 and probably ending their political career. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Sunak. God knows how much free coke they'll have to offer Johnson not to stand.

 

[bimble]

Maybe the conservative party really will implode, that seems just about possible now. Not because of any deep ideological differences between them but because the rats in sack have different ideas of what desperate measures might keep them from losing their seats next election.

Putin gets 104% of the vote.

 

[teqniq]

Slim as it may be I am hoping for implosion. They are already flat out taking the piss.

Mordaunt Short you say?

To be fair after the tossed tofu-lettuce salad that we've just had running the country I reckon a pair of decent floor-standers would do a pretty good job.



At least they wouldn't sound so whiney.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I doubt the tories will implode. They are likely to take a massive pounding at the next election, but they'll regroup. There aren't any alternative political movements that could take their place, and the UK's fptp electoral system favours inertia wrt political parties.

Fingers crossed for a 1993 Canadian style collapse. I'd personally rather it be a 1989 Romanian style one, but what happened to the Canadian Tories suddenly seems possible, so I'd be happy with that.

 

[killer b]

I'd favour a 2010 Polish style wipeout tbh

 

[teqniq]

I am not getting my hopes up. In the past these worthless scumbags have always stuck together when the going has gotten tough.

Basically Tory MPs think their party members are idiots.

 

[Indeliblelink]

If Truss stands for her constituency at the next general election [doubtful] I hope someone dressed as a lettuce stands against her.
