It looks like Larry the Downing Street Cat is a shoe in for next Prime Minister. He’s clearly in a league of his own in terms of intellect, personality and competence, when compared to his other cabinet colleagues

Truss Resigns

Surely an election must be called

Larry has a rival in that lettuce.

“Larry has a rival in that lettuce.”

Maybe the Tory membership should decide whether it’s Larry or the lettuce.

I have to say, though, it is a pretty good passing show they are putting on. With Boris trying to stage a comeback, it’s a rival to Coronation Street and EastEnders.

They can end the energy crisis by ending sanctions against Russia & by nationalising the energy companies. The sad thing is, if any of the Conservative leadership candidates offered that solution, they would be ripped to shreds by the MSM.

[alanjjohnstone]

Johnson declines to stand

So Rishi Sunak it looks like it will be for new PM

[chelmsford]

This will be the fourteenth prime minister I will have served under – and I’ve been poor under everyone of ’em.

[alanjjohnstone]

Much of the media makes headlines that he is the first UK/Asian PM.

But not that he is the umpteenth elite public school PM Or that he is the umpteenth millionaire to be PM…

A typical Tory PM

Or alternatively, “Why I no longer believe Jacob Rees-Mogg is a Marxist”

LOL

“This will be the fourteenth prime minister I will have served under – and I’ve been poor under everyone of ’em.”

Sounds as if you must be a pensioner yourself. 14? I make that back to Anthony Eden who quit in 1957 (I think).
