Rishi Sunak remains tight-lipped over chances of replacing Liz Truss as PM

Rishi Sunak remains tight-lipped over chances of replacing Liz Truss as Prime Minister as he left his home this moring.

Live from Number 10 Downing Street as Liz Truss resigns after 45 days in office yesterday.

More Tory MPs - including sacked Home Secretary Suella Braverman - today lashed out at their leader as her authority drained away.

Fifteen Conservative backbenchers have now publicly called for the PM to go, with dozens more saying they want her out in private.

And this morning head honcho of the 1922 backbench committee Sir Graham Brady went to visit the PM in Downing Street.

I'm not saying he'd be good, but everything, and I mean everything, word for word, that he predicted about Truss' plans came true.

[braxfan]

I was surprised he didn't become prime minister in the first place

[DavidDavid-ypln]

Let's be real. Sunak would lose to anyone white, even a white goat.

Signs of good leader
Never be a loudmouth

[jubai]

Shouldn't The People decide on a general election? Should leadership be decided by ministers or by The People?

Tories might as well appoint him prime minister. Because they are not going to see power for at least the next 10 years. Even if labour were to make a pigs ear of their first term they can still blame all their problems on an inherited collapsed economy from the tory party.

Sunak gave away over £ 1 Billion during the covid fiasco, and had no idea where it went, most of it was just written off, if he gets in, expect more of the same .
