Yeah no, this is the excuse of alt-right fanboys who really think they know better.

Holy crap. It happened. 
That pathetic side of the right hasn't been relevant since 2017ish, yet folks still use that term as if it means anything anymore.

LMAO and just like that she's gone. Tories might as well just install a Mr. Potato Head as PM until the next election, what a shitshow.

Personally, I'm still reeling from the news that Natasha Kaplinsky is the new President of the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification).

A reasonably impressive speedrun there.
Wonder what will go this time. Doubt they will call an election until they have to which means another leadership race. Not sure they have anybody waiting in the wings or with enough charisma to carry something if the previous one was some kind of stalling tactic/flush out.
Of the previous lot then I guess by default it will go to Mr Sunak. If I had to pick from all of them (and apparently interest in running again) then I think Kemi Badenoch impressed me most (though still politician so eh).
Boris Johnson is being floated as coming back. Don't think a few months penance would be enough there, and he was weak as you like when in before despite having it all able to be forced through on a whim if he wanted, but percentages seem quite high in polling.

My mate and I were just talking about this and he raised the idea of Boris coming back and saying 'vote for me and I'll call a GE', almost to prove he could win even then. Cocky bastard probably would as well.

To be fair, she was setup to fail from the get-go. All she did was adhere to her party's playbook, it's simply a totally worthless and detrimental playbook, especially given where the UK's economy is sitting currently. Her other option was to adopt policies more closely representing those of Labour, which would've pleased everybody else but angered her own party. And then there surely would've been calls to oust her from within anyway. A lose-lose scenario in every sense, and I don't see her successor faring any better in the run up to the election.
True. It's pretty much how politics are these days in much of the western world. Loyalty to the party and all that junk forces you to play by their rules if you want their support.
His approval is at -36 FYI. And I'm sure if the tories put him back as PM he'd just backstab them all, and would likely lose his seat.
Nothing will change, as the ruling party keeps the power, unless I'm misinformed. The newspaper here is telling that there is no obligation of new elections, and the craziest part is that the current leading party chooses when election will take place. So why on earth they will call an election when their popularity is low?
