"The new prime minister is....."

Liz Truss.

All done.

Thanks to all the runners and riders making this such an inspired contest.

NB not sure how the thread ended up with Amanda Holden bikini pics.

That was tweeted on the day he died, before all the tulip came out, so a bit of a non-story.

No no no. What is important is that a politician now has a different opinion to one they held 11 years ago, probably in the light of later information. That would never do...

Sad indeed that people think it (and similar things, like views on cheese importation or latent republicanism) important, or even relevant.

How about an ostrich as PM? Can't be any worse. There's a pony who is a mayor apparently.

He'll cut 4p off the higher rate, and then reduce the starting base to £10k. It's a vote winner for the faithful.

The basic rate but, in any case, I don’t think anyone is listening anymore. It’s hard to imagine a worse campaign so far. I suppose there hasn’t been any further revelations about his tax dodging, which is something.

Apparently this tweet was never deleted:

It's pure desperation. No one is ready for Rish! He can fook off.

Rishi will cut income tax by 2029.

Wow that is a vote winner

If the economy is the same, if I win the GE, if I don't change my mind, if there isnt WW3 - vote for me and in 7 years time you could get a tax cut

Vetran & Churchill regularly knock one out to their Thatcher posters. Does that count ?

Nah she's dead now Amanda Holden on the other hand!

Whatever either of them say is plainly just bollox though, isn't it ? Like 'no border in the irish sea', 'easiest trade deal in history', 'clamp down on corporate tax avoidance', 'balance the budget by 2015', 'don't leave, lead !'.....it's all slogans designed to get votes with zero accountability for non delivery. The Tories can't lose in England so they can say whatever they like.

UK PM. Check out Finland

34 years old she took office

If Truss wins, she'd be the first PM I would actually shag.

PMs: shag, marry, avoid

I was going to say that straight women and gay men would have more choice but I'm not sure that really helps.
