In the UK, the old political parties continue to work in lockstep together to allow perverse materials into classrooms for Relationships and Sexuality Education, permit open borders with unprecedented levels of both illegal and legal immigration, and make war on motorists with increasingly onerous restrictions on travel for ordinary citizens such as LTNs, 15-minute cities and the ULEZ. The Heritage Party is the only UK-wide party that will end the climate emergency hoax and lift all restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. We will ensure that people can continue to buy and use petrol and diesel cars and keep gas boilers in their homes. We will repeal regulations that require homes to have SMART meters and meet impossible new building emissions criteria, designed to force the abandonment of older buildings that are a precious part of our heritage. We will introduce a Child Protection Bill to protect children from propaganda that attempts to confuse them with gender ideology or groom them into early sexual activity. We will also control our borders by pushing illegal boats back across the Channel and introducing strict caps on student and work visas while ensuring we train enough young British people to do the jobs that need to be done in this country.

[@akhusal]

Penny has a very low chance of being voted PM, but it's still much higher than Sunak. So its better for her to challenge after the election.

Complete rubbish. If penny becomes PM I will not vote the torys. If sunak is there I'll vote for them

[@rogink]

WE don't vote for PM. In the unlikely event the Tories are the largest party after the election, Mordaunt will have lost her seat. So they would be back to voting for another new leader.

[@owensquelch449]

I don’t really see what Sunak has done to bring this on though. David Cameron, because of the EU referendum results Teresa May, failure to pass Brexit deal Boris Johnson, multiple things lead to so many MP resignations Liz Truss, self explanatory Sunak, seems to be acting like a Tory would act so I don’t see why Tory’s are going against him. Sure, Tory’s are massively behind in the polls, but that’s because of the Tory party and not Sunak alone, and getting rid of him will surely only hurt them.

[@Thanatos833]

For some Tories, being brown is fault enough

[@PhysicsGamer]

The Tory party has managed to thoroughly alienate the political center and has been working on doing the same with the right-leaning voters. This doesn't appear to register with large parts of the party leadership who seem to be stuck in the 1800s and wondering why the Whigs have been so quiet lately.

Sunak could shut them in one go and go for an immediate election - after all he isn't a career politician and can easily leave parliament to return to business, despite not yet getting his India Trade Deal which would likely make him and his in-laws even more wealthy.....To Tories everywhere - don't push hm because he will likely jump...

The Tory party doing all the things they warned Labour would bring.. Economic instability, chaotic leadership, racking up more debt, increasing taxes and cost of living. 🤨 while we have never seen a Labor government to date doing that anywhere close to the damage inflicted by Conservatives.

It’s funny how Europeans say the US should adopt a parliamentary style system. When it always looks like there is chaos in such governments. At least way more than what we deal with in the US. Possibly 6 different leaders within 10 years is nuts.

I think keeping Sunak as Tory leader is the best outcome for the Labour to hang on the 20% lead. That will almost certainly remove the Tory terminally from the ballot box in future.
