Can't blame him really! Didn't he live in a shed in the garden for several months to protect a family member from Covid? Must make the complete absence of morals on the part of current Gov even harder to bear.

. It's emotional to see a politician that still has principles.

He speaks, not just for Wales, but for the whole of the United Kingdom! Well said!

This made me tearful, at last someone in politics who actually genuinely feels real emotion at the total chaos the Tories have made of the UK. He would have my vote

You couldn't make it up - Come back boris all is forgiven

'Hasta la vista, baby' :laugh8:



The majority of Conservative Party members want Liz Truss to resign now - just six weeks after voting her in - and former PM Boris Johnson topped the list of who would be best to replace her, a new poll has found.

A YouGov poll of Tory members found 55% would now vote for Rishi Sunak, who lost out to Ms Truss, if they were able to vote again, while just 25% would vote for Ms Truss.

As her position as prime minister hangs by a thread following a major U-turn on the majority of the mini-budget, Tory members are largely unimpressed with Ms Truss.

The poll found 55% of members think she should resign now, while 38% believe she should remain.

And a majority (63%) think former PM Boris Johnson would be a good replacement, with 32% putting him as their top candidate, followed by Mr Sunak at 23%.

They also would support Mr Sunak as a replacement, with 60% thinking that would be a good idea, while 47% think new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt would be a good replacement.

Former leadership candidate Penny Mordaunt has a lot of support as well, with 54% thinking she would be a good replacement, while 62% think Defence Secretary Ben Wallace would be - although he ruled himself out last time.

A total of 31% of Tory members interviewed think they should be the only ones to elect a new leader, while 25% think only MPs should and the same number think MPs should pick the final two candidates and party members choose the final - as currently happens.

The poll was taken on the day and day after Mr Hunt announced the government was U-turning on the majority of the mini-budget policies announced three weeks before by Kwasi Kwarteng, who was sacked as chancellor on Friday.

YouGov polled 530 Conservative Party members between 17-18 October, with age, gender, EU referendum voting and the recent leadership vote weighted to represent the population.

Looking at the map I put up, then I think that Johnson, Sunak, Truss and May would also be out.

I haven’t researched any others.
 
At the end of the day, Truss has to go if the the party want’s any chance of winning the next election.
She just does not have the charm/popularity/ appeal, or whatever you want to call it to win an election at the moment.

It’s still possible to install a new PM and win the next election, the bulk of voters are so fickle.

Who that could be is anyones guess.
