I have always wondered what happened to Bobby.

I'm really hoping this 'talking head talk' of BoJo coming back as leader is just to make me eat up my greens.

Under current rules, as an ex-Prime Minister, Liz Truss is entitled to claim an annual allowance of £115.000 for life and 24/7 personal protection from armed police officers till they pop their clogs.

The money is for former PMs who are still active in public life and not for funding their private lives.

My money's on Boris- after all, the British people elected him. A minor detail to some, I admit.

At the last general election I voted for Mark Harper (the conservative candidate for the Forest of Dean). I didn't see Boris on the list of candidates. Nor did anyone other than those electing the member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

I wonder who the denizens of Tufton Street want to replace Truss.

It would certainly bear further investigation. Of the three 'likelies', are there any with connections to 55?

It is also said that 14 of BoJo's cabinet were IEA 'fellow travellers'. The one good thing the Truss achieved was to kill the IEA-style 'policy' of economics, possibly only temporarily, but enough damage to open a lot of eyes.

Sit-down and glue-up UK protesters get food and hygenic facilities and medical care. In Germany, left in the dark and cold to pee and sh*t themselves and starve (in VW showroom). Vorsprung durch Technik.

Penny Mordaunt is believed to be on just 24 nominations - less than a quarter needed to go to the members.

If the fact that a majority of Tory voters considered the witless Truss a fit person to rule the UK was not proof enough of how stupid people are, the fact that a majority of voters consider bringing back Boris to be a Good Idea should be.

It plumbs the depths of stupidity that any of them think bringing Boris back is a good thing for the UK. Then again the Conservatives haven't been encumbered by intelligence for many years.
