Statement at 1.30 from Downing Street

[Viviennemary]

Please please let her be gone at 1.30.

Definitely. Big Truss supporter, which is presumably why she was in the thick of it last night as weeping Tory MPs were manhandled through the voting lobbies.

Perhaps she'll have time to retrain as a doctor. Qualify to share those antibiotics she likes to hand out.

I very much hope so. If it's right that she was involved in the fracas in the voting lobby last night she should have resigned this morning, and Jacob Rees Mogg with her.

Can the person saying this needs a man kindly fuck right off?

Anyone now thinking that BJ supporters will say that he’s the only one with an actual mandate from the last election ……

Penny Mordaunt is a big supporter of gender ideology so could just identify as a man. Sorted!

Thank god Liz Crust is gone she was just one big mess up but what will happen now seems like there is lots of spin on Mordant and Sunak but also people saying about bringing Boris back. I’m not too fussed who but they just need to not do anything to zany and keep the country running!

I've never heard the BBC commentators be so scathing.

Mrs Thatcher didn't seem to have too much difficulty with party discipline, until the very end, anyway. It's been a constant issue for the Tories ever since, though.

that was me
those type of men in the party never responded to teresa may, nor liz truss

Then those types of men should fuck off too.

It doesn't need a man. It needs someone measured, consistent, and not prone to wildly inappropriate decisions. Does the Tory party have anyone like that?

Jeremy Hunt has had a 'close look at the books' of course he's not running.

I can't see how it can be anyone but Sunak. At least he got to the last 2. The only others that would be any good aren't in the running.

Labour does...

It's like some grand-plan has been operating behind the scenes, the cynic in me wonders if everything that's happened since Boris went has all been orchestrated. God knows what for though, dd is 11 and thinks they're going to bring Boris back next

Given the media's hand in all this I am left wondering how squeaky clean they are now re phone tapping. It is, obviously, a gross invasion of privacy and not to be condoned but I suspect there would be a lot of interest in many text exchanges right now, not least those of Boris Johnson. Can you imagine. It is all so Machiavellian.

Can Labour just loan the Tories Keir Starmer for a couple of years? He’s going to be PM anyway at the next election.

I vote for the mango stone

Please don't let this herald the return of BJ
General Election drastically needed!

Lol. Now the rest of them, pls.

They may as well just have a nationwide raffle at this point. Winner gets parachuted into an easy by-election then appointed PM. At least it could raise money for a good cause until we get to kick them out.

But those cheering that she's gone.yes great but the next is still her government.wirh her morals and ideals.thwy are all f shit. Her going just means the next new face of the same body.

Who would want the job thats what I want to know , if I was the tories I would actually welcome an election

Interesting times indeed….

Ben Wallace ( if he wants to ) or Rishi would be my shout. Best of a very, very bad bunch.

First choice would be a General Election though .

Liz does get her £115k pension and her picture on the #10 staircase so not bad for 43 days

It should be a General Election.

This fiasco of a self-serving, corrupt and incompetent so-called government has gone on more than long enough.
