I am not sure there is any more.
My advice to Conservative supporters would have to be, "get over it". He isn't coming back, and the bitterness over his departure will be very destructive for the party.
If the Conservative Party is as blase about the result of the next election as some of its supportes here appear to be then it is doomed at the next election, large majority or not.

By thr time of the next election the Conservatives will have been in power, including the coalition, for 14 years.
Admittedly it's probably been a different Tory party since 2016, but that is a fair while, and I am not sure the reputation for sound economic policies is all that justifiable.
Labour has currently by far the more popular policies for helping people with the cost of living, whether or not you think they are the right ones, and it seems many Tory voters support renationalising the energy companies for example, none of which sits particularly well with the promises made by the likely new PM.

//Yes naomi, as expected Boris wins hands down. We seem to have dumped the best man for the job over a slice of cake and a nonce, hey ho! Should please the poltroons.//
Lol, best man for the job? Is the country in need of a serial shagger and liar?
Nonce is a bit precarious too, he’s a predatory sex pest, not a paedophile.
Johnson lying about him passed you by though?
Surprised Naomi didn’t warn you about the slanderous aspect of that.

I don't think anyone is in any doubt that Boris will not be the next prime minister. However, I do believe that his critics have seriously misjudged the mood of the country and that's something the Conservative contingent at least, will live to regret. People have suffered a hard few years and with the prospect of even harder times looming for many, they want strong leadership and stability - and four prime ministers in six years doesn't provide anything approaching that. Additionally, had there been a viable alternative waiting in the wings it may have been easier to excuse this deliberate act of vandalism, but there wasn't and there isn't. Liz Truss will be a disaster - and so would Sunak - both self-promoting, impotent nonentities punching far above their weight. Nevertheless, full steam ahead, and regardless of the outcome, the assassins went for it, and in the process have thrown the country to the dogs, something that quite bizarrely, appears to be not only welcomed, but gleefully relished, by some here. Perhaps they, like the ineffectual wet weekend that is Starmer, think that with Boris out of the way, Labour can triumph, but he and they going to be sadly mistaken. Even if Truss lasts the course - and I have my doubts - the result of the next election will be a parliament in chaos. I wonder what they deserve? A pat on the back - or a swift kick up the backside? Time will tell - and it won’t take long in saying it.
