This also means JRM is out of a job.

Until he's called to see the King.

Prime Minister Liz Truss has finally resigned in a glorious victory for the Daily Star's lettuce.

[_V_]

She seemed to almost smile as she delivered the statement.

Eligibility


All former Prime Ministers’ are eligible to draw on the PDCA.

The allowance


The current limit is set at £115,000 and has remained frozen since 2011.


That's PA for life, plus 10% on top for pension contributions.



I'd be smiling too.

I think it must have been quite tough to give that speech.

The policies weren't inherently bad; they were "just" not costed, the wrong measures for the current time and poorly communicated. It's no wonder it all went downhill so fast. Some of those would have been great vote winners to announce next year.

Turns out she's a quitter, not a fighter.

Hard to criticise her for quitting, probably the thing she's fighting is the desire to stay on. Although that half-smile might be pure and simple relief.
I'm glad she didn't try to string it out.

That's not what the party rules say

The rules are anything what the 1922 committee wants.

So do I get to vote again and for whom? If Boris is put forward I'm voting for him otherwise its anyone but Rishi

You can't be trusted to vote again ... MPs only.

[quackhandle]

In with a Queen; out with a King.

Certainly a unique way to come and go.

Edit: Actually she joins Lord Salisbury with this.

It's only the Tory MPs who get to vote this time.
