It's all falling apart alarmingly fast for Boris Johnson across the water. How long you reckon he has left as British Prime Minister? Hours surely?
How many parties are they talking about now? I've lost count.

The day she got in I gave her until March at the latest, she will be lucky to make Monday.
Get in a caretaker for the next few months and call a GE.
It's not really funny anymore.
Thread title updated - may be another week before the next one.....
Lettuce wins.
Jaysus.
She is
ALL HAIL LETTUCE
Poor Liz, she probably didn't even get to change the wallpaper!
Thanks Lizzy, its been emotional
Well, I saw that coming. 🤣🤣
Give it to the lettuce til end of season
Kills the queen
Guts the Tories
Tanks the pound....
The greatest Irish woman the world has ever known.....
Truss, Trussed up on her own Petard
Campaigning for leadership on a unicorn platform of creating growth by reducing taxes for the rich, promoting trickle down economics in a time where there is already a cost of living crisis, an energy crisis, a war in Ukraine, a massive shortage of labour, a 5th of a percent above recession, industrial unrest, climate change
And then actually trying to implement those policies without any due diligence or funding without even consulting her own cabinet or the OBR...
She lasted 2 months longer than she deserved TBH
If you told me when she became PM that she'd debase the UK's international reputation, trigger a fiscal crisis to enrich her friends and lack the base competence to come across in any way capable of doing the job such that she'd be binned this quickly, I'd have believed you.
What an absolute mess the UK is at present. Laughable tbh.
I for one welcome our new lettuce overlords.

44 days...of which about 10 were off limits for shooting herself in the foot due to the queens death.
Amazing.
When Teresa May was leaving I convinced myself she would go down as the second worst PM in history
I genuinely expected Boris to be the worst, but Liz even surpasses him
Her legacy is probably the worst PM in British history. She let 55 Tufton Street dictate policy.
Boris is currently only 10/1 get your bets in because theres no way this insanity ends up with a boring result of sunak or mordaunt
has to be a GE, the Torie circus surely cannot continue
Any other day certain posters would be accusing you of xenophobia.
But today those posters are all in hiding 🤣
and that's that.
One good thing is that the reputation of the IEA and the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph have been absolutely shredded. They will deny this of course, but the last two weeks have been a calamity for them - they staked all their chips on Truss / Kwarteng and the budget.
She’s a fighter, not a quitter.
Party in the patch
Bojo back? 🤣
Splendid watching what they've become.
Id say this is rock bottom stuff but tbh the UK is making me wonder if there even is a bottom...
Chaos altogether. Another PM via a Tory party internal leadership contest will be amusing to watch.
Ha....just one week to pick a new idiot.
Given the short time-frame I propose a Battle Royale / Hunger Games style contest. Or maybe a reality TV talent show where they vote on who sings the worst?
Or even put all of the candidates on a raft in the North Sea. The one who manages to get back can be PM. (If they come back)
It's a toss up between the Honorable Lord Butterhead, Lady Crisphead, an unknown Loose-Leaf backbencher and Romaine the underdog.
Sources agree the change of leadership will finally see a member of the Asteraceae family take over from a long line of Brassica family members.
