Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister
Rishi Sunak Becomes Prime Minister
Rishi Sunak calls for “stability and unity” as he becomes the UK’s third Prime Minister in less than two months. Rishi Sunak won the leadership of the Tory party on Monday over rival Penny Mordaunt after wildly unpopular Tory Liz Truss resigned. Truss served only 45 days in office, a period which encompassed the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the free-fall devaluation of the British…

Rishi Sunak on Monday became the new prime minister of UK. The 42-year-old Hindu will be Britain’s first prime minister of colour and the youngest in more than two centuries. Sunak will take power in a morning audience with King Charles III, who is anointing his first prime minister since ascending the throne just two days after his late mother Queen Elizabeth II appointed Truss.

Boris Johnson Vote
The liars now exposed, the weight of his power now diminished to a stump. The power faulters and quickly. Another chess piece will fall soon as all the closet doors of what was hidden are now opening.World Prediction: The King Will Fall I had a vision from the sky-high above of a large horse race track, old, worn, outdated. The day was brisk, cold, the ground muddy and wet from the day before. I…

Thank you, UK Prime Minister @rishisunakmp, for strongly rejecting the outrageous and baseless accusation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

This Evening, in UK Politics - What Even is Happening?!
Suella Braverman, somehow an even more vile person than Priti Patel, has resigned because she sent an email from her personal account and also governments should be held accountable for their mistakes. Agreeing with Suella Braverman makes me feel dirty all over. Still, a stopped clock is right twice a day.
The fracking vote is being framed as a confidence vote.
There is a three-line whip. Any Tory MP not voting in line with the party will be removed from the parliamentary party and have to sit as an Independent MP.
The Chief Whip has resigned maybe.
It is no longer a confidence vote.
The deputy Chief Whips have also resigned?!
Jacob Rees Mogg and Thérèse Coffey are manhandling MPs into the lobby to vote?! There's an account of at least one MP crying as they did so.
Liz Truss was too busy arguing with Wendy Morton, the possibly-former Chief Whip to vote. On a vote with a three-line whip.
No Votes were recorded for 40 Tories, including not just the actual Prime Minister but also Boris Johnson (who has more important things to do than represent his constituents in parliament apparently), Nadine Dorries (no doubt wherever Boris is, hoping he notices her or something), David Davis, Greg Clark, Sir Iain Duncan Smith, Kwasi Kwarteng, Theresa May, Wendy Morton, Alok Sharma, Priti Patel, and Ben Wallace (who's actually in Washington D.C. on government business, so he gets a let). These are all party grandees, former Prime Minsters, former leaders of the party, and Nadine Dorries.
I mean, I'm assuming they're not going to withdraw the whip from the Prime Minister and members of her own cabinet (Alok Sharma in this case since Mr Wallace is abroad), although I'm willing to bet there are several Tories darkly hoping that someone will. That's one way to get rid of her!
Wendy Morton apparently has resigned.
Wouldn't it be amazing if she said, "No, I didn't resign and I've withdrawn the whip from Liz Truss!"
According to various sources and polls, if there was an election tomorrow, come Friday the SNP would be the official opposition, because the Tories would have fewer seats than the Scottish National Party and Labour would, obviously, be in power.
If Liz Truss had become Prime Minister and then done nothing whatsoever she would be doing better than she is now.
Let's have a look at some quotes!
“It’s a shambles and a disgrace. I think it is utterly appalling. I am livid,” veteran Tory MP Charles Walker told the BBC. “I hope all those people that put Liz Truss in Number 10, I hope it was worth it. I hope it was worth it for the ministerial red box, I hope it was worth it to sit around the Cabinet table, because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary.”
Asked if the government can survive the night, one Tory MP replied: “I hope not.”
Labour MP, the shadow Scottish secretary Ian Murray, tweeted that he had "never seen scenes like it" in the voting lobby. He said he'd seen Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg shouting at his colleagues, whips "screaming at Tories", and "dragging people in".
Alexander Stafford tweeted -  "Lots of rumours flying around tonight. This vote was never about fracking but about Labour trying to destabilise the country, and take control of Parliament." This is my favourite, because he's trying to blame the Opposition for this!
