General election & less ego stroking please!

How long before Truss says (to remind people of her prominence, ..however short lived) "When I was P.M." !?

What a faecal shower, water proofs on chaps!

1 week contest.

Means they're not going to the membership. Even the process of narrowing it down to two candidates usually takes a lot longer than a week!

1 week to roll out another useless cabbage, probably even further right than Truss & Bozo - :cry:

Shouldn't that be a lettuce? I gather the general consensus is that the live streamed lettuce lasted longer than Liz Truss.

My gut feeling is that we can't be far away from a GE. I live in a staunchly Tory area, and even here there are mutterings that Labour would do a better job. The most probable path to an early GE would be a vote of no confidence in the government, and there may well be just enough chaos and disillusion within the parliamentary Conservative party to allow that to happen.

I believe this is what triggered Mr Gus to start this thread, she resigned just before this thread was started.

Just to add to the entertainment, it's being reported (in The Times and The Telegraph) that Boris Johnson is standing as leader again . . .
