So they're trying to sack someone, and go into a GE campaign without a leader, and presumably needing to rewrite a manifesto to suit the new leader?
That's just weird.

If he dissolves Parliament there will be no Tory MP's (or MP's of any Party) so I think it's impossible unless they did before the King dissolves Parliament tomorrow

Probably to go more hardline so that they try and keep the reform vote.

The PM to be chosen by hundreds of MPs quitting their jobs in 6 weeks. Madness.

Unless Sunak resigns, he'd still be an MP though, assuming he doesn't lose his seat.

Be a bit awkward to send two young kids to the US with him here, wouldn't it?

I guess so. As Ducado points out, it stops being an issue when Parliament is dissolved, so there isn't time to appoint a new leader.
