The fall of the Tory party

and @andyp
I suspect- the Tory MP's/ potential leadership candidates with "political aspirations"/ an element of common sense have realised that keeping out of the captain's seat in a sinking ship is a smart move. At least you might get to a lifeboat.
The golden outcome - if you're not an ardent conservative (almost the entirety of LFGSS members - remember the echochamber)-seems like a snap GE. The route to this is substantive, wholesale disruption of the Tory party.
However, it can be argued, that further political (ie Snap GE) uncertainty leads to even further economic turmoil, and that a period of stasis- regardless of encumbant- must occur now.
With respect to the Snap GE- the most likely route to that is the re-instatement of Johnson, as this could potentially disrupt Parliament as a whole to have the vote of no-confidence.

It is, however, unrealistic to assume that that would happen, and be effective.

In other words, no matter the next incumbent, the reality is that stasis is necessary to temporarily halt a further dive into further economic failure. The sad reality for all of us [here] is that means trusting the most utterly untrustworthy set of people.

Unless...

Raab was on the Today programme reminding people that Boris is still under investigation by privileges committee.
Some supporters of Mordaunt originally are coming out for Rishi as she seems to have fucked herself by supporting Truss.
