#sunak & Co aren't even subtle about what they're doing, they think it's in the bag because they live in the bubble.
1. PARTY: They will render impotent, the Conservative Post petition - Sunak is already creating his own chosen member stooges to head it off at Conference
2. ECONOMY: #sunak said "profound economic crisis" setting the crisis in motion - even though that's patently not the case! This was supported by the useless OBR but worse, the Bank of England.
3. DISTRATION PR: They're currently sending up loads of kites - the Steve Barclay announcement about NHS penpushers this morning - which are clearly just distractions.
4. ETHICS: Sunak should be going through the same process as Boris - because all those accusations were bogus. Where is the outrage of the FPN for #sunak ???
5. ELECTION OF PM: Sunak et al have been planning this coup (double coup) for a long time. Regardless of any downturn in the economy, because that's what he expected to happen.
Commentators now waking up to what I consider to be a deliberate destruction of the UK’s economy. Can only be understood in terms of a 5th columnist... a remainer one. That's why no one got to vote him in.
6. BREXIT: As we now know, it was all about getting Boris out so the aforementioned (5) could proceed!
7. The clock is now ticking and #borisjohnson who we assume has a plan, needs to be ready soon!

I have just returned from a three-week business trip to the Far East, taking in Singapore, Sydney, and Dubai.
It was my first business trip in three years due to the Covid-19 lockdowns. Whilst I was away, there was a change of Prime Ministers, which was done without the members
of the Conservative Party having a vote.
The Conservative Parliamentary Party anointed a new Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor, this is despite both candidates being rejected quite recently in leadership campaigns by the members of the Conservative Party.
In Jeremy Hunt’s case, twice, when he faced off against Boris Johnson in 2019 and then when he was the first to be rejected by MPs in the Liz Truss victory, as was Rishi Sunak.
When #borisjohnson became an MP in 2001, he was the highest-earning MP in Westminster, through journalism, public speaking, and book publishing.
It is reputed he was making over £1million per annum, without breaking a sweat. 1/6
He is a multiple best seller, and later this year he will publish his book on Shakespeare, which will immediately become a best seller in the U.K and U.S.A. If #borisjohnson chooses to, he can rake in millions by going on a book tour of the U.S.A. 2/6
Just before Boris was forced out as UK Prime Minister, he was voted the World’s most popular leader!
It is wrong for the Conservative Party to assume that Boris wants to come back into politics just because they are collapsing in the polls. 3/6
Lots of speculation that Conservatives are so far behind in the polls that a Boris come back is inevitable. But why would Boris want to come back after the way he was treated by his colleagues in Parliament? 1/10
Some of them shook his hand whilst accepting a major cabinet position then resigned hours later to stab him in the back and force his resignation. Some of them were given major cabinet positions for the first time by Boris. 2/10
To add to this Boris now has to face a select committee investigation over whether he lied to Parliament even if he believed he wasn’t lying at the time. A complete kangaroo court, after winning a huge mandate from the country in the last General Election. 3/10
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
As reported in Saturday's Times Newspaper: The former deputy chief whip at the centre of the sleaze scandal that led to Boris Johnson’s downfall will not be investigated by the parliamentary watchdog over claims that he groped a young man. 1/12
Chris Pincher, who was the Conservative MP for Tamworth but sits as an independent after his suspension from the party, was reported to parliament’s Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) in June by a young man who accused him of groping. 2/12
So Boris was forced out by an event that will not be investigated! But why didn't MPs wait for the inquiry before they forced a sitting Prime Minister to resign?
Because it was a useful tool for a small cabal of MPs to remove our democratically elected Prime Minister. 3/12
Liz Truss is now Prime Minister but the facts are that she became the PM without a general election, because Boris was forced to resign by a small cabal of MPs. This is despite winning a VONC and having been elected by a vast majority at the last General Election. 1/10
Boris was removed undemocratically, by MPs who claimed to have lost confidence in him. But was this the real reason? Or was it MPs trying to change the leadership for their own personal reasons with a total disregard for the British Electorate and Party members?
2/10
In every round of the leadership contest, Rishi Sunak was backed by more MPs than any other candidate. Including the vast majority of the 1922 committee.
