So I presume that means the Daily Stars lettuce is the new PM? It’s got about as much legitimacy as whoever the Tories go with now.

We need a General Election for goodness sake ... there is already a massive petition for one climbing fast

[mysystem]

Tories said we have to leave the EU as they are unelected.

Tories have no shame - Toxic

[eirinym]

The fact that they think they can just keep resigning and appointing a new PM without the public having a say is absolutely a p*ss take.

I'm having a fever dream, right? The world isn't this surreal is it?

(We're expats in South America) These boys here are taking great delight in telling me the UK is a banana republic. Haha

Brexit is really working out for the UK isn’t it?!

[brunoklynsmith]

King Charles should step in and instruct the politicians to call a general election. Clearly the governing party is not up to the job.

Basically Place your bets and draw a card from the same deck….

We MUST have an election. Its unconscionable for the conservatives to just install another nobody in No.10.

Boris went on a backpacking holiday, said he would be back in November 😂!!

And still no meaningful apology, total disgrace to her party and gender.

[memememe]

So she was voted in by the tory party because she was the best candidate. So it's obvious that the next choice will only be worse. Or are you telling me the good ones never stood the first time.

Suella Braverman, are you nuts! What’s next Prince Andrew?

[leifharmsen]

The UK needs to achieve proportional representation, ie. a democratic rather than wildly distorted voting system, or the chaos will continue or get worse.

[pinkbono]

The UK is a daily enjoyable source of entertainment since 2016, from a mainland EU point of vue.

[Road-tramp]

Calling all tory MPs, can the next Sycophant step forward please and form a queue

[Anton-jitd]

There is only one answer a GE. The UK is in a total mess thanks to Truss and the Hustings.
