Truss will go down as one of the worst PMs in history. Boris probably won't be in that discussion. To me Boris biggest talent was to persuade a load or right wing people that he is right wing as well. The reality is he is to the left of hunt who the right wing torys seem to see as the ultimate wet. Boris doesn't really have any political ideology and is all about promoting himself. Providing the bonkers candidates Badenoch and Braverman don't win the next PM will be a move to the left which in my view is a good thing. Maybe I’ve watched too much TV but what if Johnson and Truss were in on it all along? A huge master plan to get him back in No 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t he be here given Parliament is sitting? It's very on brand though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will make out Truss is the length of her leadership. I think you are suffering from recency bias here. Which other PMs were removed from office due to scandals?

Justiceforcedave Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Can it really be anyone other than Rishi/someone that didn't stand in the last election? Isn't putting a runner up/Boris into power so soon after they lost the last contest kinda acknowledging that the process was flawed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I wasn't clear. My point was Truss will be remembered as one of the worst PM due to her disastrous short tenure. Boris won't as he is one of many PM who got caught out by a scandal, we just remember his because it's more recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they said it needs to be done by next Friday, so hopefully enough MPs vote for people other than the nutters and Boris... Who isn't a nutter that's left?

lost Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Limit could be set as 100 MP's. Braverman and Badenoch being talked about but I can only see Boris, Rishi and Penny getting that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
