I saw the betting odds this morning & it was looking bleakā¦ Glad she went prior to her pushā¦ Id like to see Sunak next.

Absolutely not, theyāre well outside of my ethical boundaries. Iād be more likely to invest in an Iranian drone company. Hopefully that underlines how I feel about them.
Anyway, check in on the lettuce! Sheās currently having a massive party and due to speak to the nation at 18:00.
PS. Thank you @NeilB for paying respect to my very particular set of skills!

God no. Last thing we need is another knave.
Sunak or Mordaunt.

Please not Sunak.
Just shows how people have differing views and opinions.
A General Election is needed so the people can choose rather than another non elected Prime Minister.

We never elect our Prime Minister - no matter whether we think we are āde factoā doing it or not. It is not our flavour of system of parliamentary government. Whether that is good or bad is a separate issue.

I think you know what I meant. I am aware that a PM is appointed, pulling this up is just semantics under any other name.

With respect, I donāt consider it semantics. I have heard that argument about PM many times ā¦ and more often than not it is literal. I really no longer know when someone is being literal or not because I am no longer surprised by what people donāt know about our system of government.

The parliamentary and electoral systems have been broken for some time. Situations like the current one only go to demonstrate how anachronistic it is and how it needs updating.
Labour has committed to PR and thatās a step in the right direction. I think there is easily enough evidence that a limit to the number of PMs one party can have without a general election would be wise.
If politics is to work the governed needs to work in collaboration with the government. A British constitution would be a good place to start.

Thank you, fascinating read that. Russell Napier is chairman of MWY, one my core holdings. He was on the Investorsā Chronicle podcast a few months ago:

The party and the MPs donāt agree, if they did Rishi would have become PM last time around.
If ātheyā think the public will stand by and let them put this liar and charlatan back in the big chair after 6 weeks on the naughty step theyāre more out of touch than I expect. There will be people in the streets.

They donāt have to agree with me, itās just my opinion.
Heās proved time and time again he knows what heās talking about. Recent example of when he publicly told Truss her tax cuts wouldnāt work and that thereād be carnage.
She ignored him, and did it anyway. And now look at the mess weāre in.
As for Boris, itās a ludicrous idea it has even been suggested. At the beginning, yeah maybe he showed promise and did the right things, but he got too comfortable and it will be even tougher for him to restore the trust in not just the party, but in himself.
