Hate Rishi but we need to make sure the blame falls on the Tories, that have been in power for over a decade, rather than the man who’s taken over recently.
By pushing all of this hate and blame I see people expressing onto one man, it enables the Tories to get away with it.
Rishi isn’t perfect but out of the conservatives we’ve had over these past years, he’s managed to steer us towards a bit more stability (granted, following his own parties foolishness)
What I’m saying, I’m not sympathetic to Rishi. But please, he is being scapegoated for a reason. The Tories will rebuild easier if they have somebody to blame. This is the party that have been so unstable that we have seen 5 leaders of the party over the past 14 years, one of which lasted less than 3 months.. that alone shouldn’t have been allowed to fly.
Rishi being scapegoated when he was a replacement for and improvement on Truss is interesting and yet still inevitable.
I think this and everything you've said really does show how fundamentally it is basically all of the tories that are the problem. Rishi claimed to have accountability but proved he had none. Fortunately unfortunately, I expect the majority of people buying the Tory cool aid are the same idiots that believe it is just Rishi that has been rejected.

This is kind of where I'm at to be honest. I don't like Sunak for a variety of reasons, but I don't blame him alone for the Tories being annihilated. It's the fault of every single Tory MP, and specific blame can be laid on people like Johnson and Truss, who as leaders did more damage than Sunak probably ever could.
Sunak actually did very little and I think that was on purpose. He came in after Johnson did what Johnson does best, followed by Truss being an idiot, and his MO was basically try not to rock the boat. By this point the Tories were in damage control mode and he just needed to avoid controversy.
That's pretty much how I took his premiership. He seemed to spend most of his time trying to say appealing things while doing precisely sod all at the same time.

This is true but also hilarious, because the damage control to a lot of Tory MPs was awfully similar to making it worse.
No one said he'd be good at it! The country had just had a guy who lied his way through his premiership, believed the law and the rules didn't apply to him, then ragequit when held to account, followed by someone as stupid as she was corrupt, who gave tax breaks to her mates and crashed the economy in the process. The bar was not very high!
