There was a wooden contraption standing there at the start, but now all that's left is two short planks and a screw loose.
Mordaunt looked severely hacked off, as did many of the other tools. |  |

Does their constitution oblige them to go to the membersh!t for the final choice, or can the 1922 committee anoint a successor on its own? |
The 1922 comm has the power to change the rules, subject to a ballot of members
I very much doubt should it do so it would lay itself open to a prolonged beauty contest, that then hands over the decision to members
who include those ineligible to vote 0 17,16, 15 year old and non UK nationals who are not registered to vote in UK GE's
I suspect the question is not when, but how. Soundings will have been taken and watch for the right puff of smoke |  | | |

It's disgusting, is it not, that effectively any old Charlie (or young Vladimir) can elect the next subprime minister of the UK.
No matter how much we despise the current cr*p of Tories, they do have a right to have a Party, but that Party shouldn't be allowed to have a defining mechanism that open to un-democratic interference. It's a threat to national security, surely.
And they smell. | |

For the sake of balance, and in no way an apology for the Tories that also applies to Labour. Gordon Brown was not made Prime Minister by the electorate. | | | |

Theresa May was a shoe-in wasn't she?
If the MPs agree on one candidate then that's that is my understanding.
If they went back to the m'sh!ts (thanks our friend from somewhere near Cairns) for another 2 months of rudderless government in the middle of blackouts (not the clothing variety), repossessions and bankruptcies then they'd get the bl00dy revolution they deserved. | | | |

Nor was James Callaghan, John Major (when appointed), Theresa May, Boris Johnson (when appointed).
It's the regularity of the change that would p!ss people off I'd guess.

I think the problem is that the vast majority of Tory MPs are staying well clear, and any private soundings about who might wish to be the next PM are being avoided.
However, they will be all too aware of the damage Truss is doing.
As Tories, I doubt they are too bothered about individual cases, or a huge number of the populaces - but they are about their reputation and electoral chances being harmed.
And the longer this idiocy continues the greater harm to the latter two. Maybe they can write off the next election, but it could mean a few more elections as well given the catastrophic damage Truss is doing.
This is not incompetence as with Johnson, but an almost suicidal set of ideas being put into practice that have already caused immense damage, and she has barely begun. | | | |

She went to the commons tearoom after PMQs, usually a sign that the PM is in trouble and is trying to sure up support.
Starting to wonder whether she will make Christmas.

What she obviously means is that there will be massive cuts but they will try not to make them public. |
Any settlement less than inflation is a real terms cut. £1 more than they spent last year is an increase. See how it spins. |  | | |

I'd love to think Suffolk Coastal could be an upset, but I'm an Ipswich boy living in a constituency that include Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, Southwold, Halesworth et al. Lowestoft might help us out! |
leiston will help as well. one of the only councils in suffolk to have 3 communist voted in as councillors. mind you the local council as long gone ,due to reorganisation |  |

If the likes of south suffolk and suffolk coastal are lost to the tories that would be monumental. However past experience tells us that hacked off tories tend to vote Liberal. In which case it could be mean Liberal Seats propping up a Labour government.
One other point. The tory government was on death row long before the 1997 Labour landslide, therefore I suspect we may not see an election until January 2025 as they desperately cling on to power. |
Preston is tweeting that Tory MPs are openly discussing the possibility of forcing a No Confidence vote in Parliament in order to force a General Election because of how serious things are with the economy *even though they know they will lose their seats!*

This is the Tories' 'Corbyn appointment'. |
This is the Tories' appointment of Paul Hurst. With Kwarteng (as Doig) snarling at Rishi Sunak (as Luke Chambers) that he doesn't know anything, has never done anything and doesn't impress him much.
Let's see who lasts longest! | | | |

They won't unfortunately is my guess. Despite being the birthplace of George Lansbury, the beautiful 'Worth is far too Tory. |  |

I would be more than astounded if there are enough tory MP's that would be willing to put county before party.
Although with that said, many less extreme tory MP's are probably closer to Starmers Labour than Truss's government in ideology. |  | | |

Spoiler alert: they will find the decision to tick it to the poor and vulnerable as 'difficult' as Cameron, May and Johnson did. |
Will find it very difficult to enable their tax cuts for the richest without it being as obvious as their last attempt to. Which is why they need to cut the size of the state provision in every area - benefits, pensions, NHS, police, libraries, everything. But then that is fundamental Tory policy. Cut taxes and shrink the state. |  |

I always enjoy how the Tory philosophy of 'the state should not aid unless strictly necessary' applies to poor, non-white, LGBTQ+ people and women in general but NOT very rich, straight white people. | |

Captain of the Ever Given, got the UK economy stuck in the Tories' anal canal - any movement now likely to result in breaching the bank, a sh1tstorm, or both. |  |

An understandable minor error there Ryorry, but I think I'm right in saying that Truss is the captain of the sister ship, the Never Give!
In cryptic crossword terms, she therefore has her arse where her face should be, so what comes out of it is not a surprise. | |
