Bring back Boris. Laughable. What a total mess.

Ciao italia.  Is the UK trying to  have as unstable a government as italy or Israel?  They didn't even give Truss a chance. Instead of Boris, bring back Blair.

The Tories are useless, Labour is even worse, the country needs a new party. 

But never mind only two more Prime Ministers untill Christmas.

Can't wait for Boris to be back, he's due for a new mistress and baby

Well at least she makes a mark for herself as the shortest serving PM in UK history.

[Havana]

I never accepted her as PM from the minute she walked into No 10. At best, a caretaker PM who as long as she has a whole in her rear end would never be a leader. Now we have had Harold MacMillans 'night of the long knives, can they appoint someone with at least some credibility, at least until a GE is called. Sadlt the current opposition are equally inept. What a shambolic state the UK is in.

For all the people mocking Liz Truss, how many Prime Ministers can boast the they have served under two British Monarchs?

These days it is impossible to find anyone who is capable of being a prime minister due to the fact we are all human and subject to person idiosyncrasies, the standards we set are so high we need a robot to be in charge.

Who would want to do the job for the bugger all money they get paid compared to what they would earn if they went into industry where they would not be not in a gold fish bowl twenty four hours a day surrounded by the glaring public who want to blame the state of their miserable lives on the PM and government?

Boris was sacked for having a beer at work after the workday was over, he had been working with his staff all day long and having a beer at the end of the work day suddenly made the situation dangerous.

How many million of people who were working in offices at the time did the same thing?

I know many who did, working together all day OK, continuing to talk but hold a beer ten minutes after work has finished is not OK it seems.

I find it hilarious the tree huggers are now paying for their selfish actions, we can not build nuclear power stations here, we can not have wind farms there, put them all somewhere else so we have now to import all our power at a massively increased price, it is so funny. I hope they freeze.

It was even funnier when 150,000 Conservative member AOP's elected Liz because she looked nice, I should thank her though as bank deposit rates have gone up to 2.7% due to her antics,  so thanks for the extra few thousand a year on my deposit accounts . 

Bring back Boris, allow him to have a beer after work and all will be fine again.

Yes I for one would like to see him back. If you stop the hysterical lefties from getting just about everything out of perspective and ask what did he really do? Nothing much as you indicate. A lot of people hold Boris responsible for what  Dominic Cummings did and not sacking him. The guy was in hospital when Cummings went to Durham, and again, so what. We need to get a grip on reality before no one of any value enters politics.

If Boris can get the initial 100 votes it will be between him and Sunak and Boris will win the online vote of members.

[Havana]

I agree with the main body of your comment and more specifically with your last sentence. It's a pity Boris and Rishi can't see eye to eye without resignations entering the equation.

So Truss was PM for 44 days and now collects lifetime pension for this short time?  Caretaker PM or not this is really absurd.

Not sure about it being absurd (which it is), it bloody well obscene.

A little bit of oil and the Iron Lady should be up and running in no time.
