Apparently he’s considering resigning as an MP so it could be by-election time again. It’s also a seat Labour held not so long ago so is winnable for them.

Has there ever been a PM that never faced the electorate?

Gordon Brown got chucked out at the first opportunity after three years.
Labour has never been good at doing this Democracy thing.
Can see an election in 12-18 months. Any PM needs a mandate from the people.

He has a pretty big majority though, over 10,000.

Truss and her army of IEA and Tufton St advisors don't believe in the state. I assume that includes the state security services which they might need if mass unemployment and poverty (a very real prospect) hit.

I think he was elected in a GE then died pretty quickly.

Won at a time when the Tories were popular coupled with him being popular. Not saying isn’t a tall ask but I recon Labour will be thinking that they could win there, especially as the priorities have moved away from Brexit.

Given she campaigned on an anti woke platform they and their compliant anti woke right wing press ain’t half spent the morning bragging about reaching a quota of no white males in the top jobs and the most diverse cabinet ever assembled. It’s political correctness gone mad I tell you, the minority lefty liberal wokerarty elite win again.

Funny, I had the exact same conversation with someone yesterday when they suggested that Truss is a sacrificial lamb, Labour will win the next general election to act as a sort of palette cleanser of blame from 14 years of the Tories, Boris to come back in as leader to win the following GE probably running on a pro EU ticket of some sort.

It's idiotic but of course she will have most of the press and wider media on her side.Why has she ruled out windfall taxes immediately. At least say she will look into excessive profiteering.
Starmer should wipe the floor with her every week if this is anything to go by

Given how poorly she performs when she's just giving a pre-written speech PMQs should be a massacre every week.

Yep I think there will have to be a big U turn on that in the future.
I only saw bits of it. She was absolutely rubbish, but at least the whole thing was a bit more 'grown up' than the pathetic shambles that was PMQs with Johnson.

If she’s ruling out an exceptional tax on energy companies exceptional profits because she doesn’t want to hinder investment then surely she must have a guarantee of exceptional investment from the exceptional profits. Where is it?
The pundits say the reality of that is it would only garner around £8B in take due to the shenanigans they can pull.

Well G should be happy as we know have his fabled sixth-form debating society heading up PMQ's every week.
It was like having someone who's just attended their first A level economics lesson.
