Clearly they think she won’t be U turning this time. 🤣 Nice little payout. Bill Hill had Truss to be out by the end of 2022 at 1/2 the other day then narrowed to 1/3.

Does Schnapps get his ministerial bonus for being in the job for a week? Before he goes back to Transport. The ERG knows a centrist has to be the figurehead but they want assurances many of their stormtroopers will get a seat in the Cabinet.

Now that the right wing press are lining up to have a go at Johnson and he also says he can't get by on his miserly £150k salary, who will be next? Rishi is the favourite but experience says that being favourite is a bad place to be in Tory in-fighting. Edit and Repeat. Third time lucky ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
