Liz Truss

The thing is , as an MP , they probably are underpaid , What should happen , IMHO , is a half decent salary for an MP but a veto on ANY other job whilst in parliament.

underpaid my arse

They can do what they did with May.
Put someone forward.
No challenger to put to the membership so anointed without vote.

2 way hat can happen.

1st is that the MPs decide who they want. They put themselves forward and no one else does, or other withdraw. That is what happened with May.

2nd is if they can not agree and numerous want to stand and go to the members the 1922 can change the rules. They could just do away with members and have an MP elected PM. This assumes the 1922 would agree to do that.

On balance I think these options far more likely than another member vote. The LT campaign was the catalyst for the current mess. She basically told the rabid membership what they wanted to hear i.e. she would cut taxes and not give a F.

A no brainer this. Give them a circa £100k PA wage, a fixed budget for staff and expenses. Ban all second jobs. Proper register of all lobbyists and lobbying activity. Sorted.

Probably not, he will be down a couple hundred mill in the last three weeks, no doubt!

Will he? He probably knew what Truss would do and acted accordingly.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

In all my life, I have never seen someone so out of their depth.

Brady better stay out of my way next time I see him eating at Alty market, I will chin the ****.

Truss is beyond embarrassment.

I'd rather you compare them to people in proper jobs mate.....like Nurses or care home staff or other people who actually work. Footballers are overpaid

I didn't realise he frequented the market. I'll keep my eye out.

She did.

My understanding and I'm happy to be corrected, is Charlie boy can only intervene if there is a constitutional issue.

How the Tory Party chooses their leader and Prime Minister is not a constitutional issue, it is entirely their affair and theirs alone.

Of course it's a constitutional issue, but we don't have a constitution. Unprecedented times, and not been done for a hundred years (George V and Baldwin), but it would not be unconstitutional for Charles to appoint someone with some hope of unifying the Tories rather than Truss's idiotic choice.
