Looks Like Truss Is The Next P M Then........

[ToraToraTora]

Not my ideal choice. Sunak may be the one for the MPs but the party faithful won't got for him. I know where my vote is going.

Okay, that still doesn't make my suggestion retrospective, does it? More 'prophetic' :-)

[Paigntonian]

I predict, should Sunak win, he'll do badly. And it's already irritating that everyone is calling him by his first given name. Don't recall anyone on TV calling Blair 'Tony', Thatcher as 'Margaret' Corbyn as Jeremy...

[naomi24]

I’d like to know why TTT is saying this. It seems premature.

[jno]

Maggie surely, Paigntonian?

[jno]

TTT's explained why he's saying it: polling among party members has produced clear results. Of course shy Tories have been known to tell fibs to pollsters.

[Redhelen72]

Shame, I liked Penny, as for Truss I don’t think she has a truthful bone in her body.
If she gets in I predict it won’t belong before they start the process to get rid of her.

[Ken4155]

Because ttt knows stuff, Naomi. And he has a vote, too - it might well be the deciding vote :-))

I actually believe he is right. From everything i've read, there is a concerted effort to keep Sunak out of the hot seat.

[davebro]

dunno how in the world I will contain my excitement until September!

[Old_Geezer]

The hand that wields the knife shall never wear the crown.

Maybe I just lack a bit of confidence in Liz Truss since she and her department seemed to do ok regarding post-Brexit trade agreements, but I feel she has looked very nervous in the past and is untested at the level it looks like she might achieve. I hope she picks her cabinet well and listens to debate and opinions. I think there are many who would support a harder line regarding the EU, the NI agreement, illegal immigration, and the ECHR, etc. etc. etc..

[Paigntonian]

jno: Only watched posh programmes then....

[naomi24]

I can’t see that, Jno, but thanks.

I don’t think any of them are up to the job.

[jno]

there were only posh programmes then, Paigntonian. I'm surprised the current polls weren't filmed by the Naked Attraction people.

[Dee-M-See]

Keith Starmer must be rubbing his hands with glee
now that Lis Truss is a competitor for the next PM
Nothing for the Labour Party to worry about at the next election

[Ken4155]

First a Lib/Dem then Tory, Remainer then ardent Brexiteer. She'll be declaring herself gender-neutral next :-/

[Ken4155]

Who on Earth are 'Keith' and Lis, Dee-M-See?

[jno]

oh, Churchill wasn't above changing parties, or his mind, when it suited him. Not a bad idea to elect the Vicar of Bray to the top job.

[youngmafbog]

Good, the 'person' who didnt know what a woman is has gone.

As they say Go woke go broke. Reckon she would have had it for that.

Personally I dont care whether Rishi or Liz win it. Either will do for me.

[Canary42]

Will Truss have enough Support (Geddit?)
