Disgraced Boris Johnson could return to No10 in an astonishing plot hatched by warring Tory MPs. Twelve plan to submit no-confidence letters in Liz Truss – set to become new PM on Monday – and want a leadership vote by Christmas.
The rebels claim the current Foreign Secretary she is the WORST person to take on the top job.
As removals men today continued to load up the PM’s possessions, one top Conservative said: “MPs are ready to put letters of no confidence in as early as this week. Liz Truss is not very bright, has poor judgment, little empathy with people and sees everything in money terms. In the worst of times she’s the worst possible choice for PM.”
The plotters are keeping their identities and communications secret because if they were unmasked they would lose the Tory whip and could not vote in the leadership challenge they are trying to arrange.
Ms Truss will begin her premiership with a majority of Tory MPs against her. Only 113 backed her in the final Commons vote compared to 42-year-old Mr Sunak’s 137 and 105 for Penny Mordaunt.
And even MPs who are not part of the plot are now suffering buyer’s remorse at the PM’s ousting and predict he will back.
One told the Sunday Mirror: “He’s the only person who can keep the red wall together. I expect him to be PM again before we go to the polls. And if he isn’t and we lose then he’ll be leader immediately afterwards.”
It’s not often that I agree with a Tory but I’ll make an exception for that comment …
If Tory MPs dont support the decision of the Tory membership who have voted Truss in, doesn’t that leave their own constituency positions as potentially untenable?
“MPs are ready to put letters of no confidence in as early as this week. Liz Truss is not very bright , has poor judgment, little empathy with people and sees everything in money terms. In the worst of times she’s the worst possible choice for PM.”
If that is the case, it begs the Questions -
How did she end up as one of the top two choices, in the votes cast by all the Tory MPs ?
And why do the majority of the Tory membership seem to be voting for her?
Its like sitting watching a tidal wave coming and unable to intervene being a voter in this Country now. How on earth have we arrived with a Country of many ,million adults, approx. 358 Tory MP’s Did we end up down to these two
Kazz, lt does make you wonder.
I think the ones that voted for her were either, hypnotised, drugged, blackmailed, or threatened!
No one in their right mind could promote her, she is just awful and l can’t look at her.
I think I agree a little like May a short term PM although I have to say Labour have no real contender they seem to be sitting back waiting for Conservatives to fail rather than them step up and try.
I say give Truss time to get over the number 10 Downing Street threshold.
I don’t believe the country would be any better off if Johnson had remained head honcho.
It’s quite right Truss mightn’t be in residence this time next year as there may well be a 2023 General election.
Personally I’d rather Sunak
