    Do you remember when that random bloke turned up for a job interview at the BBC and was mistaken for a tech expert and interviewed live on BBC news? I'm not convinced that something similar didn't happen with Liz Truss and the Tory party just haven't realised yet.

    Terrifying to think of her in the top job and terrifying people want it. Even more so Rees-Mogg and Nadine Dorries support her, two people who need to be as far away from the cabinet as possible.

    Well thank **** that will be johnsons last PMqs. Let's hope politics can start to regain some truth, integrity and competence. The bloke has made a complete balls up of this country. Worst I've ever known it in my lifetime. Nobody could have taken us lower. faster than that lying twat. Good riddance to the ****.

    Anyone who those 2 complete waste of spaces support surely can't be PM.

    Most likely, can't see the Tory hardcore wanting a brown person in charge!.

    Of course, Labour has a history of brown and female leaders!

    Sadly for Sunak, his wife's tax affairs and his own Green Card will be his downfall in the leadership election.

    Never let your policies dictate your vote, or your downfall, then huh. Let it be about your wife’s tax affairs!
    Once met Liz Truss, weakest handshake I’ve experienced, no real charisma or character and left me wondering how she would ever challenge someone or have a strong argument with a challenger in the political world - I wouldn’t have dreamed she would be up for a post as high as she has already, let alone PM!

    Labour are reported to be cock-a-hoop with the prospect of Sunak v Truss. Easy to see why.

    They are going to vote in Truss.
    Perhaps there is someone who can take us lower

    You've never met Michael Portillo then...met him at a bash at No10 when he was defence minister, felt like shaking hands with a dead fish. John Major was PM at the time, and he had a solid handshake

    Truss and Sunak are both considerably brighter than Mordaunt, though lacking her obvious charms. What with Sir Bollard in opposition, we're in for a pretty dour Parliament for a bit
