In fact if those figures were replicated at a GE, it should be the Tories not Labour wanting PR.
Would give Labour 523 seats, Lib Dem 57, SNP 41 and Cons 5.

If the public accept Johnson back, then he has a chance of winning the next election. There should be protests if he returns, I can't believe it can just be accepted with a shrug. All this stuff is setting precedents IMO.

Sunak is well placed to quarantine the Truss interlude but he still has his own legacy pre that.

Any summaries of how this is all being reported abroad?
(I saw the ‘Better call Boris’ tweet earlier!).

US in-laws have been reading the news and asked if we were planning to move to France.

A nice potted summary of why Johnson resigned. bbc.co.uk Honestly, I think it is in the long term interest of the country that Johnson is put back in power; in 18 months, can he really do that much damage that would be worse than if Mordaunt or Sunak were in power *and managed to make themselves re-electable* (or at least defused the potential for a Labour landslide). Johnson is the most likely candidate to deliver a Labour victory in 2025.
I think the problem here is that another Johnson premiership would be a weekly if not daily drama until the next election. We've had 6 years of chaos and instability now, and there is an opportunity cost to that: while they are playing their silly games the country is slowly falling apart. It needs to stop. We need adults in charge who have at least basic levels of honesty, decency and a sense of public service. The Tories have little of those qualities and Johnson has none at all.

It has been pointed out that Saul Goodman (Better call Saul) could be described as a lying, cheating, money grabbing, deluded idiot who doesn’t think twice if doing something malicious or dangerous would benefit him personally. What about Boris?
(Not surprising that the tweet was deleted but I nearly spit my coffee out when I saw it!).
