Self rule?
An election will be in two yrs at most, so the mess will not have gone away by then, might as well get it over and done with now and cast the Tories to the wolves.
Not always ,Johnson called an early election securing a large majority, he was on a crest of a wave at the time.
Isn’t the real problem that the Tories haven’t had a reliable leader for a few years? Come to think of it neither have Labour!
What we need is a leader who is wise enough to make the UK a country that other countries respect, but sadly there are very few capable of doing so.
- Cameron thought he knew what the people wanted so offered the referendum to leave the EU…how shocked he was at the result!
- May wasn’t strong enough to handle the result of the referendum.
- Boris got us out but was more interested in having a good time than getting a good deal.
- Truss should never have been voted in because she wasn’t up to the job, but which of the ones who voted for her would be?
I doubt if any recent Labour leaders would have done better, so perhaps we need the people we vote for to vote for what the voters want rather than some political party.
Party politics and all its rules are destroying this country, so maybe we should allow oue MPs to vote for what their people want, rather than their party!
That way we may find a worthwhile leader who is interested in what the population want!

An MP said this morning that they’re waiting to see how she does in Prime Ministers Questions tomorrow.
Hell have no fury like a woman scorned, go to the commons for a vote of confidence either back or sack me , lose it then go after declaring an election, its what I would do and I’m a bloke, they cannot be trusted, any one really want to be PM with whoever is in the background pulling the strings.

As I’ve said since before she won. Sliced, Diced and out before Christmas. She was always the wrong choice. Always.

ASAP. She shouldn’t have been put there in the first place. She’s absolutely useless. Get rid.
Also, get rid of Biden in the USA… how do these useless people get into these top positions?

She’s exactly where she should be, now doing exactly what she should have been doing all along. Caretaker PM, not doing much harm, seeing things through to the next GE at which point Tories lose majority and probably the election. Then she gets booted out and someone half decent has had a couple of years or so to work their way up the ladder. IMHO, that was the game plan, and it came as a huge surprise to everyone that she’d have actually tried anything at all, yet alone something so catastrophic.
It’s starting to sound like the Tory party needs to keep holding elections until they get the right result.

According to the Mail on Sunday’s Dan Hodges, more than 15% of Conservative MPs (or at least 54 of them) have already written to Sir Graham Brady , chairman of the 1922 Committee, calling for a vote of no confidence in Liz Truss.
Understand Liz Truss has been informed by Graham Brady the traditional threshold of letters for a leadership challenge has been breached. But he is insisting on a threshold of half the parliamentary party before acting.
Coincidentally:
Liz Truss was with a key Tory backbench MP when she avoided a House of Commons grilling. She was meeting with Graham Brady, the chair of the key 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs - and the man to whom letters of no confidence would be sent.
Who has called on Truss to step down?
It’s a fast-moving situation in Westminster. As it stands at least 13 MPs have publicly called on the prime minister to resign. They are:
- Crispin Blunt
- Andrew Bridgen
- Jamie Wallis
- Angela Richardson
- Sir Charles Walker
- William Wragg
- Sheryll Murray
- Gary Streeter
- Henry Smith
- Steve Double
- Miriam Cates
- Siobhan Baillie
- Matthew Offord
More later …
