Well I predict that we will possibly get Hunt being installed as PM but even he won't last. The Conservative management want out of government so they can't get the blame for what they really want to happen now. I see that the European press are also blaming 'Brexit' for the whole thing so it's only a matter of time now before Keir Starmer is asked to form a new government, unelected, and start the operation to take us back into Europe, with penalties, of course. Truss was never going to be allowed to appear even halfway competent from the very start of her selection. She wasn't who the 'management' of the party wanted and so her fate was sealed before she even took the job. This is not democracy this is a certain group of people manipulating everything to what best suits them not the country.
Hunt has ruled himself out.
edit and the only way for starmer to be prime minister is to win an election

I read he had ruled himself out yesterday @chas but I wonder if that will still be the case. Let's face it he's a politician not a man of his word and has no principles but then it may be that he doesn't want to be associated with the continuing shitstorm personally so he may play Kingmaker rather than attempting to be king himself.
Or he could just be remembering how few votes he got last time, and doesn't want another humiliation.

Mr 18, as I believe he's known amongst the 100s who didn't vote for him.

This all about angry remainers cutting off their nose to spite their face rather than have a dynamic UK outstripping an increasingly sclerotic EU and blowing up their bridge back. I hope they burn their house down and the real Conservatives walk out on the closer Liberals and Social Democrats introduced by Cameron & Co.

Top comment on one of the Telegraph stories. Seems fair comment but maybe because we agree!

-

Truss told the country for 8 long weeks that she was going to stimulate growth by not proceeding with Sunak's planned, manifesto-ratting, tax hikes and by cutting Corp Tax.

She then announced that 400 pieces of EU legislation would be removed from our Statute Book by the end of 2023.

I think it's THAT which was the real cause of the chaos. The Globalists/Remainers couldn't possibly have a competitive UK just offshore of the sclerotic EU/Eurozone, which is tanking even quicker than us.

The Markets and the B of E knew full well most of what was coming and it gave the Globalists/Remainers plenty of time to plan their attack.

I would imagine the only reason he ruled himself out maybe due to him not wanting too much scrutiny in to his connections, maybe some as yet undisclosed skeletons in his closet 🤔

If there are any real conservatives left in the Tory party, then they ought to jump ship to the Reclaim party, as that is the only remote possibility I can see that many of them will keep their jobs come the next election.

Its a very bleak and depressing looking future... I hope Marty is right about the big man upstairs, but I wish he would hurry up and do some smiting. 😩

Boris pulls out (for a change). This whole fiasco stinks :poop:, it really does look like a planned coup to get Sunak in to No. 10. He or Penny Mordaunt have no chance of winning an election in two years time, so unless a miracle happens and Reclaim or a new libertarian party win, we are going to have a loony Labour government very soon, and that IMO is a truly horrific prospect 😮 the damage will be catastrophic!

Boris is showing some wisdom at least in not wanting to be part of the shit show again. We all know that, if he stood and won they would just do their damndest again to fix it so he had to go again. This is all geared to a Brexit reversing shower of shite taking control of our country. Time for a revolution.

If I was Boris I would work on an entirely new party and play to the public on the fact that the current Conservatives simply don't want to deliver what the public wants and neither do the Labour party. With the right amount of 'grit' and a good PR team I think he could really play to the public with a promise of changing the political landscape but you could bet with absolute certainty that the Conservatives, Labour, Liberals and the Political and Legal 'class' as a whole would work hard to find some way of blocking any serious new political party from being able to even compete.

The shit shower has just become a down pour. Welcome back to the EU fold, they don't give a fuck about the referendom or the result the people voted.

Boris is a pathological liar, narcissist and thankfully, a spent force. The architect of his own demise, he only had one option to avoid another embarassing defeat. Fishy Wishy Rishi is playing the public and will use his premiership to strengthen India's influence in our country, likewise, Jeremy Clunt, who has his fingers deep in China and for the same reason, will push us towards his wife's origins. Don't forget, that much of the cash that they borrowed for the disastrous lockdowns and furlough came from India and China and they will want it back.
Both have their feet firmly in the remain camp and do not have the health of this country as their motivation. They are in it to stuff their own pockets and then run away.

Bastards, all of them.
