Basically she's saying that everything she did was right, but she is resigning cos she can't get on with her job of decimating the country. The unadulterated hubris of it all makes me want to puke. That’s how I saw it. She doesn’t believe she made mistakes, she was stopped from doing what she planned to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's online, they have 7 days to coordinate this thing - got to be a nod to the members, but ultimately not giving them the choice given how they stuffed it last time. I was just poking fun at their plans to cut tax, without an idea how to fund it. New PM in a week, but I bet we hear during today they don’t know how to do it, or it’s impossible.

If so, how many actual official working days was she PM? If by mourning, you mean wanking, then yes. But I assure you, there was absolutely no break.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 20, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2022 Thinking ahead, when was the last time a sitting PM lost their seat at a General Election? Has it ever happened? It's certainly something these numbskulls should be considering before they elect a new loser Current Polling on Electoral Calculus has Sunak keeping his seat (and Truss) but there are an awful lot of casualties.

They can't really rule it out. Their constitution says that they need to vote between two final candidates, and they can't automatically assume that there won't be two final candidates. I'd be betting every last penny that I have that they try and make sure that there is only one candidate, before it gets to that point. Don't think they'll manage it though.

Agree - all eyes on the threshold for standing - i..e. 20 more votes than Bozza can get together - they simply cannot have him in or the instability would be on steroids. Mourdant and Sunak as final two with no others contesting - then one of them standing down in the national interest, is my bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Nad Reese Mogg Braverman I'm sure there are loads more nutters that we don't yet know about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
