(But I'll give them two months to prepare the ground).
David Blaine was in the box for 44 days.

I can't even take pleasure in Schadenfreude. If this had been a Labour government, Christ alone knows.
So what is keeping her going day in day out? What faction is she trying to help, if any? Is it, in fact, helping, but making MPs realise they need to coalesce around a Sunak/Mordaunt Cabinet of all talents, or are they just breaking down?
She is, despite everything, not entirely powerless, she must be trying to achieve something, even if her own political survival (for more than a brief period) is now beyond her, or anyone.

One would love it.
Patriotic my arse.
I think Bojo would have seen him off in dec 2021.

Inflation hit heights not seen in decades
Russia retreats from Kherson taking masses of hostages
Yet another obstetric scandal in the NHS.
Yet the Trussterfuck pushes them all off the front pages.
The only positive is that this may see the one nation conservatives regain control and let the ERG (and @HYUFD ) join the obnoxious Farage
I think we need a General Election but how we get there I've no idea.
That's how bad things have been, Jacob Rees-Mogg has been ok.
So long as we can say, "This is the worst."
But actually, it surely can't get madder than this.
You don't fucking say.
Can't get more true Tory than that.

Regular service perhaps, but disappointing.
That strengthens.her.
Truss has to go and Sunak/Mordaunt to take over with Hunt as COE to start the long process of even looking a creditable opposition let alone a government
Seemed to get a bunch of blue-tie wearers bit hot under their non-Eton collars.
PM - Remain
Deputy PM - Remain
Chancellor - Remain
Home Sec - Remain
Foreign Sec - Leave
Defence Sec - Remain
Justice Sec - Remain
[6 of the 7 most senior cabinet positions]
Now all you get with the rag is another rag.
At least in the chaotic dying days of Callaghan with ambulances pulling up outside the Commons they had the excuse of minority government.
Edit, humor fail. Good old days = two weeks ago
She's an absolute genius. Just need to get rid of Cleverly somehow.

Fuck me, he’s nailed it. Every word.
I have never experienced anything in politics like this and I have no idea how it ends, but It is certain Truss will be forever remembered as the worst PM of our time and the one who destroyed the conservative party
What about a Government of National Unity. Lefty Remain Tories, Lord Frost, Farage, Tice and the DUP. Sorted!

To avoid becoming the shortest serving Prime Minister in history Liz Truss must last another 76 days.
That doesn't make the decision to leave less right (or less wrong) as it's primarily a question of sovereignty, rather than the economy.
Wallace seemed to be the closest they had (liked by members, not obviously bonkers, didn't stand last time), but won't go for the job.
(N_Al, BA Hons., University of Leeds, some time ago).
So not all doom and gloom.

Every day this chaos goes on the more it fixes in the minds of large swathes of the voting public that the Tories are unelectable.
People like me voted leave, and I believe I made a mistake, but that's on me, not the media.
Or we might get a John Kerr play. Worth thinking how it might.
Something to do with war.
Something to do with the king.
Something to do with technocrats.
Foul fucking mouthed as well
a) he is waiting to see if Truss falls on her sword and/or
b) he is setting a higher bar so as to make it a fait accompli if he knocks on the No.10 door
I heard Braverman resigned just before I left work.
Quiet night except for that I assume?
Not able to see that if there's a contest it won't take more than a week, as MPs sit on losing candidates to get them to withdraw.
Truss will go and the mps will make sure if it goes to the membership it will be between acceptable candidates and that is Sunak or Mordaunt

* actually I asked my 17 y.o. son which way he wanted to vote, and voted remain on his instruction. But I would have done anyway if it was my decision.
Whilst the country waits to have an actual fucking government.
