Indeed mate! Send my love to Mr Wes if he's still about. Hope you're well.
(not a Titanic reference)
Can we say that Truss has won a new record for the shortest tenure by a British PM?
My own but having checked twitter with the key words a load of people have also come up with it. I think most on the caf would agree that I am fantastically witty and intelligent so it's likely it came from me.if that’s your own then well done
They’re obviously copying you man, I’d sue them.
Imagine him as Prime Minister
(not a Titanic reference)
A cabinet full of hot 22 year olds
Every door has a claymore.
Never did that no scope shite. Left that to the kids. I don't play competitive anymore, not since around 2010 mate. Wes is PC only. Think he plays Cod still, occasionally. Hope you are good too fella.
Nah. Pretty unlikely a blue tick Caesar lettuce pun from the caf and nicks it.
The state of the fecking Tories even considering taking BoJo back for round 2. He's just a Trump lite and they're just as bad as the GOP.
Gonna have a high turnover in that cabinet as he will sack them before they turn 25Imagine him as Prime Minister

That's still longer than cabinet appointments of the last 3 years
By some margin.
George Canning was the previous record holder at 119 days (or so), and he had the excuse of catching TB and dying of it, all in the days before antibiotics and modern medicine.
Still, at least she gets a 115k annual pension for the rest of her life.
Yes. The only way it'll get beaten is if a new PM suddenly dies I imagine.
Feckin clowns out there:

Boris up to 50...
I think he's going to crack the 100 ... I think he's going to be back as pm
This is going to be a total car crash for them

If he comes back, at least Truss hasn't had time to change the decor in number 10.
If Boris comes in it’s definite GE territory as shit tons of Tory MPs will become independents.
Already posted in the Ukraine thread but it's just as relevant here:
I bet we will see they are mostly bluffing. Hope I am wrong though.
I don’t think so. It’s like they’re all suffering from amnesia about how unpopular he is. There is no way he will hold a majority in parliament. Plus Boris in a financial crisis? Jesus Christ. I can’t think of anything worse. He can’t make grown up decisions!
Enough to loose the majority?
Omnicrisis
I think so. He didn’t have a majority 3 months ago hence why he got kicked out - what’s changed now?
If you really give it a go, there's a chance you could fit Boris in and Boris out before the year is over.
When is he in front of the standards and privilege committee?
It's happening in November isn't it?
Imagine how desperate you'd have to be to want Johnson back as PM. Joke.
So tempted to bet on thisHas anyone located Theresa May yet?
They're probably digging up Winston Churchill as we speak.
I’d prefer May over any of them.
I genuinely fear that Johnson's mind-numbing bluster will overshadow Starmer and in two years people will have moved on from this shit show, and the Tories will romp home again.
depends on whether Johnson, if he wins, fixes the economy and people's standard of living. People don't want to be seeing high food and energy prices over 2 years
My thoughts (fears) too.
Even though the spending cuts haven't happened yet, nor has the full cost of living crisis bitten (mad given 1 in 7 are already going without meals).
