Yeah cause the public are going to look really favourably on another Tory leadership contest.
It would be very funny though.
Anyway it’s not so much a poisoned chalice as it is a hand grenade at this point.
A hand grenade with a fat expenses account for life.
What contest ? No one voted for Sunak.
Or for Liz Truss. If they replace Sunak before the next GE it’ll be our third unelected PM in a row.

Which is worse: a week of chaotic headlines in Westminster, or a decade of decline under Keir?
Well the first option appears to be an almost certain decade of decline option based on the what the Tories have done to the country during their own “leadership”.
It’s truly nuts for a Tory to use the phrase ‘decade of decline’ without realising it’s going to backfire.
Not because he’s a shit PM but because the Tories will be made extinct.
Even if the Tories did have a sane person who they could elect, they won’t do it in an election year. Technically next year is the election year but it’s in January of next year, so they’re going to call it earlier than that.
You’d think that a major political figures would know that.
Lmao as if that’ll do anything other than damage the Tories more. The conservatives are fucked.
It’s just a shame we’re probably waiting until near the end of the year for the GE.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
After serving as Chief Secretary to the Treasury while Mr Sunak was Chancellor, Sir Simon became an enthusiastic supporter of Liz Truss’s leadership bid and joined her cabinet.
The former levelling up secretary said Tory MPs might be “afraid” of electing a fourth leader in two years but asked: “Which is worse: a week of chaotic headlines in Westminster, or a decade of decline under Keir?”
Sir Simon’s comments come after a week of open rebellion against Mr Sunak over his flagship Rwanda Bill - to deter migrants from crossing the Channel in small boats.
The debate over the legislation has exposed on-going divisions among Conservatives with two deputy chairmen, Lee Anderson and Brendan Clarke-Smith, quitting their roles in order to vote for the rebel amendments.
Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper said it is “utterly ludicrous that the Conservative Party is even discussing installing a fourth prime minister without giving voters a say”.
There has been a sense of gloom among Conservatives over the past few weeks as Mr Sunak’s repeated attempts to gain the upper hand politically have failed to make a dent in their standing, trailing Labour by 18 points in polls.

Went to a Frankie Boyle gig last week, he was going on about how weirdly small Sunak is. “In fact, he’s so wee he’s not allowed to do outdoor speeches after dark in case an owl swoops in and flies off with him”
He’s more likely to call it a day and swan off to America
