She then has a tough choice whether to sack him or wait for the conservatives to change the rules next week. | ||

If they held one of those and lost then he’s out, whether he likes it or not. 22 in the context of that tweet is the Tory 1922 committee, their internal leadership mechanism which has nothing to do with Parliament. It’d be like a Labour PM refusing to quit after losing the support of the trade unionists. Poor form but nothing to do with Westminster. | ||

I'll take my pick with the more unknowns MP, but of course the conservatives will be unlikely to pick such an MP.You might not like the Policies but there are plenty of people who are more competent/won't lie through their teeth constantly. I think a lot of people are quite unfair with Truss, she would be the first female chancellor if it happens so that might be something to keep in mind. Prime Minister is a more senior role than chancellorship, and the first female Prime Minister UK is Margaret Thatcher. In any case I don't see what relevance gender has to do with selecting a future Prime Minister. | ||

Boris is resigning. Ironically we now have someone even worse than Boris in charge of the country temporarily. | ||

There was another controversy since then. He put in place a chief whip, knowing the guy had sexual assault allegations against him from within the party, and then lied about it. I'm honestly not sure why that would be the straw that breaks the camel's back, but apparently it is. | ||
