Here we go again! The 1922 committee will stop at nothing to get their man Rishi as PM. What is playing out now is a conspiracy to bring down #Truss by MPs loyal to Rishi supported by the 1922 committee. They will stop at nothing until their man is the leader. 1/10

There is no way Rishi can become Prime Minister without the help and support of the 1922 committee, as they control the rules and the processes to elect a new leader. 2/10

The big problem is that Rishi is not popular with the members who have already rejected him as their leader. So 1922 will have to elect Rishi by blocking member's votes and eliminating them from the leadership campaign. 3/10

To do this the 1922 committee will change the rules or manipulate the process to circumvent the members from electing the new leader, which would be anti-democratic and a blatant disregard for the member's rights! But that won't stop them! 4/10

#truss needs to head this off, but her options are limited. She is up against the system and effectively #1922committee can do what they want. But she has options. #truss and her team need to look at the weaknesses of 1922 and Rishi supporters. 5/10

The biggest fear and weakness of #1922 and #Rishi is #borisjohnson and his popularity within the membership and the electorate at large, and the structure of the Conservative Party, which could be changed to reduce the powers of 1922 and transfer them back to members. 6/10

I believe the best option for #truss is to work with Boris, to allow Boris to return as the leader with #truss getting a key job in the new cabinet. There could be a run-off between #rishi and #borisjohnson for the members to decide. There would only be one winner #boris. 7/10

I know how to change the structure of the Party, to return powers back to members and I will help with this. But for #truss to survive she needs to act quickly as the #cabal is coming for her and she only has weeks to survive. #truss you need to take control. 8/10

#truss you are under pressure today, but you are still in control and hold power for a limited period. It's now time to use that power and head off the people that are after you. Who forced our democratically elected leader to resign. 9/10

It is time to do the right thing for our party and for the country who voted for #borisjohnson. Now that would be true leadership. 10/10
