Dear Lord above, I've seen people removed and banned from pubs for less. She's the Home Secretary. What have we come to?

When I wake up this will all have been a dream, right?

When you wake up it will be tomorrow and God knows what that will bring…

Is the fracking vote being held so that so many tory MPs lose the whip that they can't force her out? Liz Truss in a parliamentary party of one?!

Yvette Coopers reply was spot on though!

She also did this weird nervous giggle when she was asked whether she would be leading the Conservatives to the next General Election.

And when she finally showed up in the HoC yesterday after doing her disappearing action, she was wearing an inappropriate smirk as if to convince herself and others that she's the boss, even though she is waaay out of her depth.

I thought Johnson was the most irritating smirker I'd ever seen but Patel and Truss both give him a run for his money.

Swooellen is the embodiment of the swivel eyed loon... she is so deluded she thinks she actually has a chance of the top job , that is the ONLY reason she's resigned ...

It isn't going to happen love.. sorry . (Not sorry) ... see how I've learned how to 'Tory' ..

Oh god, I just had a nana nap and woke up to this shit show. Feels like I’m still sleeping and I’m dreaming weird stuff.
Except I’m not.

The Tories are tearing themselves apart while 1 in 7 people are skipping meals. Get rid of the Tory scum.

@Diamondsareforever123 precisely my sentiments

At that point all they have to do is no confidence her and provided someone can form a government which can command the house they can take over as pm. She'd be leader of the Conservative party in practice still mind. Nothing that a rule change couldn't resolve.

But they could in theory remove her from being pm in this way and appoint a new pm with the approval of the king. Though not leader of the parliamentary party!

Head hurts.

Fun fact Mick Jones, the Clash’s former guitarist, is his cousin.

Mick Jones would probably be a better Home Secretary!

The Clash certainly prophesied Liz's dilemma with remarkable accuracy;

Should I stay or should I go now? (Yo me enfrío o lo soplo)
Should I stay or should I go now? (Yo me enfrío o lo soplo)
If I go there will be trouble (Si me voy va a haber peligro)
And if I stay it will be double (Si me quedo sera el doble)
So ya gotta let me know (Me tienes que decir)
Should I cool it or should I blow? (Tengo frío por los ojos)
Should I stay or should I go now? (Tengo frío por los ojos)
If I go there will be trouble (Si me voy va haber peligro)
And if I stay it will be double (Si me quedo será el doble)
So ya gotta let me know (Me tienes que decir)
Should I stay or should I go?

NEW: Tory MP Simon Hoare: "Only an idiot would think our planet could sustain new forms... of fossil fuels."

"It's not going to happen. These are bald men fighting over a comb."

He says like William Wragg, he wants his voice to "shape the future" of party (ie, a letter in ..?)

If you are a Tory MP and you’ve received a text in recent days from an, er, new member of the Cabinet plotting to take out the prime minister, please feel free to get in touch in confidence….

So we now have a Home Secretary who is not half mad? It's been so long with piranhas in the seat, I've forgotten who the last reasonably sane occupant was. Teresa May?

@newnamethanks Grant Shapps is definitely not half mad. More like three quarters.
