As we wait to see how many more u-turns the government can make without revealing that it’s all been an elaborate prank, the jury’s out over whether Liz Truss will make it to Christmas as PM.
I hope Liz Truss will now apologise to the school she said overlooked her potential

I think the idea of people being named and shamed is terrible but I'm prepared to make an exception for the 81,326 Tory members who voted for Liz Truss.

Pointless choosing the very worst of the really worst. Put 50 names in a hat. Pull out 30 and form a PM Committee. Fire them all after a few weeks, then do it all again. Then again….and again…

Enough one-dimensional news. The replacement for Tory PM should be Labour leader Keir Starmer via a democratic General Education https://t.co/LRs8gCHwRG
