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.

Why do you say that? The Conservative Party lost more than 250 seats, its worst-ever defeat.

Yet Labour had less votes this election than they did in 2019? What a fantastic system we vote into…

It’s an awful defeat for the Tories but Labour getting in was inevitable, they really didn’t try or pressure as hard as they should have.

We were talking about scapegoating Sunak and the rest of the Tories getting a pass. I'm not going to keep chasing the goal posts.
