This final series of The Tories is wild, getting rid of Mordaunt is hilarious.

So the options are Porkmarkets or Little Rishi? I’ll admit, I laughed out loud. They don’t have a fucking clue what they’re doing and it’s brilliant.

Liz Truss can fly planes
She drives motorbikes,she can make sausages & cut cake.
Horses love her.
She’s also a really good tractor driver.
She’s a woman of many talents & is neither Theresa May or Harold Shipman.
She truly is a Wonder Woman.
Low taxes on the way!#SupportTruss ❤️ pic.twitter.com/XhfqFqZlOu

Why does Rishi Sunak want to be PM? He is rich. His wife is rich. They could buy an island filled with ice-cream, trampolines and gold plated handjob machines but no he wants to arse around on nonsense island guiding the circus of twats. He's a psychopath.

The Sunak and Truss camps set out their strategies. Sunak: talk as much as possible. Truss: don’t.

“I have a plan for growth” says Rishi Sunak who has delivered the highest inflation in 40 years, the highest taxation in 70 yrs and the biggest drop in living standards since 1956

I'm just not sure the UK can allow Prime Minister Liz Truss to happen. It feels like asking a toddler to perform dentistry on a lion.

Getting excited for Liz Truss. Or Radon as she is now known. She's a gas. But she's inert.

Increasingly reading that Europhiles fear Liz Truss as PM as she will stand up to the EU.

I know quite a lot of Europhiles, and they are rather more concerned that she will blow up the UK economy through a misplaced belief in her own negotiating genius.

In a way, it will be a relief to have Sunak as PM, moving away from the narcissism of the Johnson years, back to the more traditional rule by a psychopath

We really need a name for the unique combination of horror and hilarity which the idea of prime minister Liz Truss creates.

On what planet does anyone seriously think Truss is a plausible candidate to manage a whelk stall let alone run a country?

The Conservatives have ousted Boris Johnson so that they can have a fresh start from his scandal ridden government. Their choices to replace him: Boris Johnson’s Chancellor or Boris Johnson’s Foreign Secretary…

I don’t believe Rishi Sunak is benign or stupid. I don’t believe Liz Truss is benign. On balance I think I want an idiot trying to do bad deeds more than a competent billionaire succeeding to do bad deeds. But what a fucking choice.

This is very relatable.

Often in my line of work you do feel conflicted between wanting things to be a complete farce but vaguely not wanting your country to go fully down the Swanee. That’s why PM @trussliz will be glorious. Total insanity for two years and then certain Tory defeat. Everyone wins.
