Sarina Wiegman should be dismissed immediately

Giving her time to return to the UK, acquire UK citizenship, join the Conservative Party (hopefully temporarily), stand as an MP in Nadine Dorris’s seat, accept Sunak’s resignation, claim uncontested victory in the leadership election, and serve at least one year as PM.

At the very least she would be no worse than Truss.

It wouldn't work. The Tories don't do "Competent".

The flaw in your plan is that the ghastly Dorries woman hasn't formally resigned yet, and there won't be a by-election until she does.

If she decides to carry on getting her £86k+ salary and the £40k a year for her daughter's salary, while appearing to do very little to help her consituents, there's fuck all anyone can do about it.

And not attending parliament.

Surely anyone else would be dismissed if they didn't show up at their main place of work for this long!

I believe she's not holding constituency surgeries, either.

It's a fucking disgrace that there's no way of getting rid of an MP who simply doesn't do what they're being paid for, and the rules need to be changed so that absentee MPs can be got rid of imo.

Isn’t she a football manager? I’m confused

She is, but she'd still make a better job of running the country than the current incumbent.

Can't it wait until we have won th World Cup?

I think it's a minimum of 3 weeks notice for a by-election, so the footie will all be over by then.

The trickiest bit would probably be getting Braverman to fast track Wiegman's application for citizenship, she can't seem to do anything without making a bad situation worse.

She is. A highly capable and competent manager too. Just like the country needs.
