Gawd help us !!!

I second that!

Perhaps now they can get on with doing what they should never have stopped doing, governing and finding answers for the problems we face.
But I doubt it .

oh god no...she will be a nightmare, hope we get an election sooner rather than later....ps i am scottish and i don't think she likes sturgeon.

Ok so apparently UK ends at Carlisle according to Liz ? Might need a passport to visit Balmoral in that case

Well, we're all well and truly f*** now...

I’ve just said elsewhere: this is Tory party members not caring what is best for the country (unsurprising) but also against the best interests of their own party, as Truss is so unpopular with the wider electorate.

Dreadful choice.

She has picked up a Poisoned Chalice. Sunak is the real winner as he can distance himself from what is probably coming for the Tories.

Looks that way Blondiescot.

How quickly can we rebuild Hadrian's Wall?

I am in despair! What a very bad choice.

I think that could be an understatement.
She doesn't appear to like Drakeford either.

Man the barricades!

Sorry, sexist remark.

People the barricades

Those were my exact words to my DH when the result was given.
As if things were bad enough already, without this.

Wait and give her a chance. I must say I have never heard such a load of boring bulltish pre the announcement. No wonder people dislike party political types, they just went on and on and on.

My reaction too Blondiescot. My words to my DH, "well, now we're b******d.

Who?....

Terrible result.

So, if my maths is right, c98,300 people have just chosen the leader of 67 million of us.

Seems fair.

Wait and give her a chance

We don’t have any other choice. But it’s not like she’s an unknown entity to us, hence all the disappointment and anger on this thread, including from Tory voters.

The voting members of the Conservative party don't seem to be very good at it.
I cant understand why they would choose someone who was not the favourite of the M.P.s

Would you not expect a leader to be chosen by the party this is not a general election. It would be exactly the same for any party.
Good luck to her she is going to need it.

I'll third it!!!

Wonder what was written on the 600 odd discarded ballots???
