Maybe they should get out of the way and let the British people declare a motion of no confidence in Rishi Sunak?
If we had that power we’d have binned the Tories off before Sunak won the runner-up prize.
You’d have to be deranged if you wanted to captain this sinking ship, so I imagine the shortlist of candidates is already pretty lengthy.
I bet Gove is thinking it must finally be his go.
I’d put grant schapps up at the top.
I mean, going by the amount of money Truss is still allowed to claim, going down with the ship isn’t the stupidest idea, at least financially.
If you are an older Tory politician this would be a chance you may never get again (as, hopefully, the Tories are out in the cold for a couple of elections at least) - you’d get your name in the history books, you’d get a sweet cash payout and your value would jump for after-dinner speeches and non-executive directorships. Ker-ching.
The only person who actually knows the number is Graham Brady. Anyone else is just bullshitting.
