kick it off 1,952 Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) 44 days. Shortest lived PM in history and she managed to wreak absolute havoc. To tank the economy and people's futures in the way she has done is criminal. Never thought I'd see a worse PM than Boris, but he's not even the worst one of this year. Pathetic. Whoever takes over has absolutely zero mandate from the electorate.Ā Any Tories with a shred of integrity recognise the need for an immediate GE, but they won't because they're a bunch of sef-serving lickspittles who are only interested in their own interests, and not the country's. This is the worst Parliament (on all sides of the fence) in living memory. Edited October 20, 2022 by kick it off 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
