      Now a leadership contest that ANYONE IN THE WORLD CAN VOTE IN, they don't even have to live in the UK, ever have stepped foot in the UK, or be a British national. It's a disgrace. We don't even get to vote but anyone, literally anyone is allowed to join the Tories and vote on the leader. They don't have to be eligible to vote in the UK. Thousands or Russians and Chinese can even vote in it. I couldn't believe it when I found this out last night. I thought surely not but look it up it's actually true.

    This was Boris’s design. It surprised me when he finally resigned since he clung to power so tenaciously. He knew they wanted Liz Truss, a fanatic. He knew she would polarize the country and the party, and knew they would come begging him back. Just wait and see who they choose.

      He's certainly wasted no time trying to suggest that they make him PM again, because that worked out so well the last time.

    There literally needs to be clauses in exiting Prime Minister's contracts that forfeit exit pay legally for causing economic disasters like this and for not being in office for a considerable amount of time. And no exit pay should be allowed for breaking rules - why are we rewarding egotistical and bad behaviour and not for effectiveness or competence of a leader? For Truss' 45-day tenure, she caused absolute, utter chaos.
    How can anyone in their right mind allow her to gain any monetary "thank you" for her disastrous reign in government?

      The price of my war's not a price that they are willing to pay
      Insane
      You cheat with the French
      Now I'm fighting with France and with Spain
      I'm so blue
      I thought that we made an arrangement when you went away
      You were mine to subdue
      When even despite our estrangement
      I've got a small query for you
      What comes next?
      You've been freed
      Do you know how hard it is to lead?
      You're on your own
      Awesome, wow!
      Do you have a clue what happens now?
      Oceans rise Empires fall
      It's much harder when it's all your call
      All alone, across the sea
      When your people say they hate you
      Don't come crawling back to me
      Da da da dat da dat da da da ya da Da da dat da da ya da!
      You're on your own
