I think I speak for the entire UK when I say we want Boris back.

They should be allowed to choose, the country wants and needs a general election straight away.

Looks like it was all planned by Boris

Vote for the Reform Party. Major changes are now needed. Main Stream Party's are all corrupted to the core.

simonlightwood JonAshworth I agree but it isn’t going to happen. The tories will have mr tumble in charge by the end of the week… the world has gone mad.

Elizabeth survived everything from the Nazis, the Cold war to the Covid pandemic but having to appoint Liz Truss as Prime minister is where she drew the line lol

Theres shouldn't be a next leader elected, there should be a general election, they can't just keep swapping leaders because the whole party is crap

Low-key she was more influential during her reign than Churchill or the queen ever were

As a petition gathers momentum, we ask if Boris Johnson should return as PMA petition calling for Boris Johnson to replace Liz Truss as PM has gathered more than 10,000 signatures.

Why Liz Truss must resign as Prime Minister and resign now - GP TaylorIf this government was a school inspected by Ofsted, it would be put in special measures and the headteacher sacked. Liz Truss must Go. Go now and go quickly. It has nothing to do with her being a Leeds lass from a comprehensive school, or even that she is a Tory. Another Prime Minister, so quickly?
