At best Lizzie will only have two years then she will get knifed in the back by her own party once the general elections won theres plenty of stalking horses waiting the shadows like Michael Gove and Jacob Rees-mog .

Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss attacked each other's economic policies in the debate in Stoke-on-Trent.

Both campaign teams need "to be mindful of tone" and have a debate that's "respectful and dignified", Conservative MP Amanda Milling tells the BBC

The two contenders talked over each other and clashed on taxes, their Brexit records, the schools they went to and their records in government.

Sources close to Sunak said they believed he had "won the argument" on the economy, but one Truss supporter accused him of "mansplaining"

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says both Tory leadership candidates "are the architects of the mess this country is in"

About 160,000 Conservative members will take part in a ballot to choose the next party leader and prime minister, with the winner announced on 5 September.

I don't know why that Thatcher bitch is so lauded after what she did to the UK all those years ago, after destroying tens of thousands of people's jobs and the businesses that went down the pan as well she was the worst kind of Tory PM that anyone could wish for.

More corrupt than Bozo Johnson with all the brown envelopes she received from the banking sector, and her prime goal was to privatise everything she could get her bleeding hands on (oh lordy, the bitch was coining it in), all under the promise that they would be cheaper services in the long run, (look how well that turned out heh).

What she did was sell the nations silver tea sets to the highest bidder, and that meant that the profits the nationalised utilities brought in on a yearly basis to the Treasury was gone forever. The Tory government were as shortsighted then as the government of today are, no profits coming in from them means they didn't have any fallback options anymore and it's led right up to the present day National Debt mountain the UK is currently in.
Well Done Maggie Thatcher the Milk Snatcher.
