I think it is untenable. I also think the only hope for Truss is to shove Kamikhazi in the bin pronto, but I doubt she will have the courage to do that.

That poll is likely an outlier, but it's not that much of one. There have been 13 polls conducted in October. In all 13, the margin between Labour and the Tories has been 25 points or larger.

Her position will be that it is all his fault - getting shot of him makes everything OK again. If she had any decency she would fall on her sword. She won`t of course.
Obvious solution would be to reappoint Saints fan Rishi. But she`s burned her bridge there, it seems.
It's nice to see that the tinfoil hat brigade on the right appears to be apoplectic about Hunt's appointment. There goes that last 19%.
