Should I change thread title to the new prime minister is Jeremy Hunt ?
Or even Rushi Sunak pulling the strings of the backbenchers ?

Is there a hint of some grudging admiration in there somewhere


To be fair the incompetent incumbent as you affectionately call her he did beat your hero fair and square in the election to be the Tory leader


With regards to the predecessor of the incompetent incumbent it would seem telling a few porkies came naturally to him, but to actually call him a crook seems a bit excessive unless you have evidence to back up your claim, just an observation but maybe your allowing your obvious bitterness towards the government cloud your judgement somewhat

This big question is, whether Sunak will be the Tory leader and PM come the next General Election.
Re-appointing Braverman as Home Secretary seems to be an error of judgement.

A Home Secretary, sending official government stuff on here personal email sems to be a pretty poor error for someone in her position, regardless of whether it was "top secret" or "regular business".

The utter lunacy from the Truss regime beggars belief.
We had the bank of England trying to cool inflation and "crazy Liz" doing the absolute opposite and although Hunt has settled things down a little, what on earth was she doing ?

Crook, noun, a person who is dishonest or a criminal.

Dishonest, I think we can take as a given. Criminal - his role in the plot to assault Stuart Collier or in criminal damage as a member of the Bullingdon Club… do I need a question mark for that?

I’d take Truss back a thousand times before him. She was just daft; harmfully so, admittedly. What he did to the national psyche, with the support of millions of culpable wallies, was an atrocity against decency.

Fully agree with this.

Truss was just laughably incompetent.

Johnson though was - and remains - downright dangerous. With what he's done to this country and with the cult of personality that he fostered he will go down as perhaps the worst and most destructive Prime Minister in history. And I include Neville Chamberlain in that. At least he was doing his best in what he thought was the country's interests.

I read an article today where Johnson was described as "having a unique relationship with the truth". Rather more polite than the way that most people would describe him but, nonetheless, it's true.
