No individual has a mandate to run the country. The mandate goes to the party which has a majority in Parliament . This disgraced ex PM has no mandate from anybody to do anything and any mandate he did have he forfeited by his disgraceful behaviour which forced him out of office.
@iancolintaylor@philipstephens So relieved I am no longer a member of this sham of a political party. Truss and her predecessor have destroyed everything that I originally joined the party to support
@GaryLineker This woman is a disgrace to the office of Home https://t.co/O8LBPXtQvo this another example of trust using the worst possible people for the job
Today a guiding light has gone out of our lives and the world mourns the loss not only of a great Queen but also a wonderful human being. We shall never see her like again.
Rest in peace Your Majesty - reunited with your adoring husband
@acgrayling Couldn’t agree more but unfortunately that will be another excuse for doing absolutely nothing about energy prices, cost of living and interest rates for another two or three months
@Haggis_UK That’s because they are zombies and unfortunately it’s already too late. What this country needs now is proper government and it would appear that there is no one there capable of providing it
@MrKennethClarke To be honest Ken the word useless is putting it very mildly. This man has mismanaged his government has destroyed his party and is bent on destroying the future of our country. To top it all we have two people who are were complicit in that destruction fighting to replace him.
@EsherWaltonCons My priority is a general election to get rid of this corrupt Conservative government and return the Conservative party to what it was - not the corrupt and immoral party that it has become. Esher & Walton Conservative Assoc. should be ashamed of its record
@ElmbridgeLibDem The first thing the new leader of the Conservative Party should do is go to the country. The Government has no mandate to continue running the country in the way it has done for the last 2 years. Johnson never had a mandate - the Party had a mandate and betrayed it.
@Peston@christopherhope@Telegraph We seem to have bred our very own Donald Trump. Do we now look forward to a violent march on the palace of Westminster? I have to say I think the British people are better than that but it is frightening
A great shame that the new Conservative candidate for Oatlands and Burwood Park ward of Elmbridge Borough Council does not even know the correct name of the ward that he is supposed to be standing in!
With Dominic Raab MP, The Mayor of Elmbridge and representatives of the Veteran's Hub after Dominic had just presented a cheque to the Veteran's for £10,000 from the Lottery Community Fund. Money so greatly needed at this time.
