  • In today’s election round up:
    Rory Stewart berates the Tories for Liz Truss’ term as prime minister, saying that he wishes that he became head of government.
    Andrew Neil gives his analysis of a troubling day for the Conservatives, before interviewing Michael Gove on Reform UK’s surge.
    Al Murray claims the only way he’d run as an MP against Nigel Farage again is if he was offered “a million quid”.

    For me, Rory Stewart
    is the ideal candidate for PM. He was Labour, then Conservative, so he sees both sides.
    When the Lib Dems, needed a leader a few years ago, I thought he resigned from the leadership race to go for that Liberal leadership.
    If I were PM, he would be my No.1 choice for Foreign Secretary due to his extensive knowledge 👍🏼

    The sooner these characters are out of power, the better for the country. Tearing Sir KS apart at this point when the Tories have shown themselves to be beyond hopeless and tone deaf, when it comes to the idea of governing for the people. At least to start with KS cares about what he is about to embark on, he will approach the job with maturity, seriousness and something of a calling for the job. None of these people just now have ever cared about the people. Worth taking a leaf out of “The Government of the People, For the People, By the People”..no chance of that with this current mob. They’re more the government for and of themselves for themselves… and Sir KS and anyone else in any other party would have stayed the course for D- day.

I see you and Cameron as Lib Dem pro EU at best. It is amazing the party has lasted since Brexit and the Ideology gap is a millions miles wide.
