Tory MP Brendan Clark-Smith making a passionate case for Boris returning as PM, carrying on with their 2019 election mandate, literally as if nothing has happened. I almost admired him doing it with a straight face, or no embarrassment. Incredible.
Disputing sums didn't make the policies far left, neither did the culture of personalities. You might be right, those personalities may not have been popular, but the policies were.
The media presented it as far left, manifestos told a different story of progressive taxation and public ownership. Let's not paint this as somehow equal across the political divide.
It wasn't a huge majority was it, wasn't like all the MPs were behind Sunak, the 5th ballot was Truss 31.6% Sunak 38.3% – I'm not calling that a decisive ballot, and if he wasn't a unifying figure then, why would he be now? I also think those outside polls should be to be 'more acceptable' [than...

So Liz Truss's chief of staff, Mark Fullbrook still owns a 10% stake in Sir Lynton Crosby’s lobbying CT Group, who's clients include tobacco firms and teh Saudi government.
Is it just blatant in your face corruption now, where it doesn't really matter what you do or what conflict of interest...
