Rishi Sunak faces a 'war' in Conservative Party as Boris Johnson and Liz Truss plan comebacks

"What will be interesting is if she sets out a completely competing economic prospectus to the one Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak will be pursuing in five weeks time."

If she does, it could set off 'fireworks' in the Conservative Party, explains Harry Yorke.

Imagine having the confidence of Liz Truss. Dunning-Kruger effect absolutely nailed on.

[kablmuk]

"It's like playing Russian roulette, only there's a bullet in every chamber" - Conservative slogan for 2024 👍🏻

Watching the downfall of the UK from afar is quite an entertaining and educational experience. The "comeback" of either Truss or Johnson indeed would be another hilarious plot twist. Just when you think they could not go any lower anymore, UK politicians show they can indeed.

[MoebiusUK]

They all want to get back on the government gravy train.

[MarkWilson-vkkn]

Just when you think this poor excuse of a Government couldn't get any

[lairddougal]

For God’s sake. This government has no mandate to govern and is incapable of it it any event. Self serving and utterly out of touch is the best that could be said of them. Their sole motivation is to cling to the baubles of power for as long as they can and the national interest be damned. Out now!

[lewdwig]

Hahahahahahaha, you got me. Oh wait, you’re SERIOUS?

[billybobkingston]

Boris, Rishi and bloody Truss, my God

[totty]

All this hot air and wasted energy, the vile tories are done.

[ladymeldiriel]

Cool, let's hope they destroy each other and the party so completely that none of them ever come close to positions of power again.

[allanmcdowall]

How can either of the 2 come back, they are damaged goods.

[wulla]

Rhinoceros hide or no, Truss has serious delusions of adequacy. She had to go not only because of the dud mini budget but because she was demonstrably incompetent. She just couldn’t hack it - no policy nous, hopeless judgement about people and a terrible communicator. All she could do was speak the Tory member gallery.

[martinradcliffe]

If Sunak can't see a Truss "comeback" off it really is time to give up.

[pip]

Johnson and truss comeback? how gullible do they think the electorate are.

[plumduff]

They should be running the country properly not petty ridiculous infighting

[shuggiemcg]

Boris has a chance of getting back in but will still lose a GE truss has zero chance of anything

[californiadreamin]

Time to end this sordid musical chairs and hold a General Election.

[andrewolgado]

Every day is like April fools day in the UK

[MainMan]

Sunak the ultimate “empty (very expensive) suit” who by comparison makes Liz Truss another Thatcher.

[richardbradley]

Hopefully, they will continue to tear each other apart. I just wish they would do it on there own time.
