A sitting PM has never lost their seat before Kaz so you may be disappointed.

Would be delightful sight though. Would he even be constitutionally allowed to announce the end of his tenure in Downing street or would he have to sign a short term with House of Lords FC?

Can see him taking the chopper to London City airport and heading off to California before Starmer takes over.

Not so sure. From the public interviews they were doing on his patch, most were ready to vote elsewhere

He would be able to resign from Downing Street.

In theory, the King can make anyone PM. But in practice, he would have to resign as he would not have the confidence of the Commons. He is still PM though until he resigns. Indeed, at this very moment, he is PM but not an MP as no one is, strictly speaking.

You don't think high taxes and inflation are caused by Covid?

You think net migration will come down under labour?

Interest rates similarly high in the USA - was that caused by Truss?

Some blinkers in that post sunshine.

Inflation was actually low during most of the pandemic. It only started to rise significantly once the world opened back up and much of it was as a result of rising energy prices which were also reasonable during the pandemic. It was worse in the UK than many other countries partly due to supply shortages as a result of Brexit.

Net migration is unlikely to come down straight away under Labour but the notion that the Tories are the party of low immigration, low net migration, low taxes, and economic competence has been completely and utterly destroyed over the past 5 years.

And why you can’t accept that mortgage interest rates rocketed as a direct result of Truss and Kwarteng’s utterly reckless budget is fucking beyond me!
