Who will be the next permanent manager of the Conservatives?

[paranoid android]

If it ends up being Truss, she'll just be the scapegoat for whatever the f**k chicanery they're about to pull next. 

She is so fucking weak.

Truss saying the last 20 years of economic policy haven't delivered. Interesting. Are there any other options available?

#youYes yet

Staggered by the boldness of opening that particular can of worms. She's flat-out admitting that the opposition's predictions were correct and her party have been a massive failure in their declared aims. Tossing the party on the bonfire if they don't vote for her (presumably) radical new ideas.

Of course, nobody will remember or care by the next General Election, so she'd be as well saying that Cameron, May, and Johnson have been too busy wanking aff dugs to bother with the economy.

if they can get a clip of her saying it - a really short, snappy one - then it'll be toast for them. Remember how much the Tories made of Liam Byrne's joke note in 2010 that there was no money left? Labour need to show a Truss clip or line that says their economics are rotten over and over again.

They'd need to get the newspaper proprietors and Heads of News to bang on about it for months on end.

In other words, it's not happening.

Any TV debate is going to end up as them both just shouting Thatcher at each other, isn't it? Which of course is all it will take to have the faithful cheering and waving a flag.

I expect it to be something along these lines

I get the feeling that one Dominic Cummings still has some grenades to lob onto this bonfire.

If I believed in the supernatural I’d be inclined to think there are a couple of very crazed/drunk universal sentinels looking down and saying.  “Right we gave them Boris Johnson and they accepted it, what can we do now?”

“Truss, really dude let’s see if they take Truss”.

“OK but if they do man then we only have the Mogg/Dorries dream ticket left to play”.

The SNP holding the balance of power after the next GE is the best, and possibly only, hope for the people of Scotland.  That is more likely under Truss as PM that Sunak IMO.

If shite Tory 1 in charge for 28 months instead of shite Tory 2 is the price to pay then so be it.  It’s not going to be great if Sunak wins either.

Couldn’t disagree more. Truss is already unpopular and a couple of years of mismanagement and public gaffes make a whopping Labour majority a stick on. 

 

 

Sunak premiership would make a hung Parliament highly likely.

No we don't, we want the most incompetent arsehole winning, I'm thinking of bigger picture

The bigger picture is PM Truss pushing declaring war with Russia to try and get her Falklands moment. She is the most dangerously unhinged individual to have come close to the highest office in this country yet.

Fabricant.

There's an idea for a discussion - putting aside their party allegiance, which MP is the least likely to become PM?

Diane Abbott has to be a candidate, but for very different reasons depending on who you talk to.

Almost certainly true, but there is no way the Pentagon and their lapdogs in Whitehall would ever countenance a hot war with even a weakened Russia.

Would be grimly amusing to see the rest of NATO step back and say, "fill yer boots, Vlad, this is nothing to do with us".

Imagine the vacant terror in Oor Liz's eyes. Bless.
