      They said they are going to ask their members. Those would be the same members that selected Liz Truss.

      The proper outcome would be to call a general election, but really that equates to a mass resignation of the Tory party so won't happen.

        Penny Mordant, who the hell is she, I think we have been here before 3 months ago, pick someone nobody has ever heard of, oh yes remember now, she was the one that declared Liz Truss was not hiding under her desk.:roflol:

        Rich man Rishi, he's going to be full of himself from now on.

        I am not picking anyone. I am stating the likely candidates. Personally, I think Sir Keir Starmer should be the next PM, and I am not a Labour supporter.

          As bad as this Tory mess has become I dont think I could vote labour or Lib Dem.

          I think I would have to do what MPs do when they want to avoid the question.

          Abstain.

          Neither would I, but I certainly wouldn't Abstain. Unless there were only the three parties to choose from!

          A newspaper over here described Truss's 44 days in office as "catawampus". A new word for my vocabulary and also a fairly accurate descriptive.

                I do hope not. I just want a competent leader that doesn't polarise people. Coast them to the next election and watch as another party kick them into touch

                  There are only the stupid ones putting themselves forward. Everything is left in a total mess thanks to Boris and Liz and will take decades to put right. Anyone with common sense in the Tory party will be looking at positioning themselves for a come back in 6 years time, after Labour muck it all up even more.

                    If they keep on carrying on like they are, it will be considerably longer than 6 years before they get back into power.
