dave: "It's all very sad - for the party & for the country. The turmoil will not end anytime soon whether or not a GE is called." - There will not be an election no matter what happens in the party that is one thing they all agree on and it cannot be forced against a 70+ majority. Just a lefty wet dream. Next election will be 2024, end of.

//Tora is correct.
The Conservatives have 20 months+ to turn things around.//
As I’ve said, the fiasco and world market forces will alter that.
This government has lost all credibility, nobody will invest in the ‘growth plan’ until they’re gone, they’ve shown they can’t be trusted. Hunt himself wanted even bigger taxes, prior to getting the job.
Party members, a mere fraction of the electorate can no longer be deemed credible in choosing a Party leader who automatically becomes PM, it won’t wash any longer.

It’s going to be a tightrope.

/But Mohamed El-Erian, a renowned economist and President of Queen's College, Cambridge, told the BBC he believed the government had not yet done enough to reassure the financial markets.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "They're going to be pushed to find more ways to cover what is still a significant hole in the budget.
"Of the £45bn additional unfunded tax cuts that were introduced - in addition to the energy bill - they've now covered about £21bn of that, so the market will press them to cover more of that. Hopefully by going back on some other tax cuts, but also possibly through expenditure reduction - but that would go against the growth objective."
But he added that most of the business "damage" sustained since the mini-budget was "recoverable", as long as the government moved "even more forcefully" in trying to restore financial stability - but this would also take "time and luck"./
They presently have neither but definitely not enough to do it within the timeframe and even that is barring other serious wobbles like another leadership battle, striking workers, dire economic forecast etc.
Better to change leader now then call a GE, because a second consecutive PM with no mandate from the public is no longer an option.

/Even sounds like that's what you're hoping for Fatti. 5C?/
Just being pragmatic and realistic, you’re struggling with the detail at present because your beloved party are imploding and even they know it, the Senior ones especially are in despair.
But then you did refer to 148 of your own MP’s earlier as ‘rabble’ so it’s to be expected.
What a sorry spectacle eh?
Btw, I’ve been in touch today with 3 of the other 5C as you call us, we’re organising another comrades reunion at present.
Amazingly, they’re all very anti-Tory at present too.
Who’d have thought that of 4 decorated ex Servicemen eh?
Just look at what the government of the last 3 years have turned this(now) laughing-stock of a country into?
Utterly shameful.
