The British public has made their disgust for the Tory Government crystal clear as our Mirror petition for a general election hits 100,000 signatures.
Liz Truss left her mark in history books as the shortest-serving Prime Minister in Britain following a disastrous six weeks.
However, her replacement will again be chosen by Tory party members in a leadership contest, meaning large swathes of the country will not have the chance to directly elect the next leader.
And to further rub salt in the wound, Boris Johnson is said to be lined up for a shock return despite his own shameful record in No10.
The public will once again be relegated - for the fourth time in six years - to spectate from behind the glass of the Tory Party zoo and watch MPs and out-of-touch party members select a new leader.

Voters are rightly furious and have demanded an immediate general election so the public has a say in who takes charge.
Millions of people are suffering from the effects of the mini-Budget disaster while the cost of living crisis continues to squeeze households.
Thousands have already made their voices heard with our petition, which has just hit a staggering 100,000 signatures as of Sunday morning.
Jennifer wrote: "It’s obvious at this point that the conservatives find it impossible to act in the national interest. This whole mess is just them trying to safeguard their jobs. Enough is enough."
Christopher added: "How can the Tories say they are doing the best for the people when they completely trash the economy apart from the gas/electricity money they have not done anything for the poor even causing the mortgage rate to rise and because of fall in the pound goods from abroad are dearer so inflation is up above 10% mostly caused by their incompetence."
And Gwenbro summed it up and wrote: "We do need Starmer to sort the economy. We need other Labour, Liberal, Green and Independent MPs."
Ms Truss made no apology or showed any contrition for the fiasco in her 88-second resignation speech in front of No10.
She left just 24 hours after insisting she was “a fighter, not a quitter” during a bruising PMQs with Keir Starmer on Wednesday.
The Labour leader also demanded a general election.
Mr Starmer said: “What a mess, this is not just a soap opera at the top of the Tory party, it’s doing huge damage to our economy and to the reputation of our country.
“The public is paying with higher prices, with higher mortgages, so we can’t have a revolving door of chaos.”
And Mr Starmer insisted a return of Mr Johnson would “add insult to injury for the public”.
In a Mirror online vote, 61% said there should be one now. And a snap YouGov poll showed that 63% believe the new Pm should call an early election.
There could be a new PM as soon as Monday if only one candidate gets the necessary nominations.
Otherwise, there will be a ballot of MPs, before the party’s 172,000 members have their say in an online vote with the result announced next Friday.
