'Call a General Election NOW - third Tory PM in two months would be tinpot tyranny'

Call a General Election now or angry people must take to the barricades.

Democracy isn't a game of pass the parcel played exclusively by Conservative Party.

Imposing a third Prime Minister in less than two months, a fifth in six years, would be Tory tinpot tyranny.

We the people are entitled to decide who rules Britain when her MPs toppling terrible Liz Truss after only six weeks is a party at war with itself.

And the victims are wage earners, mortgage payers, NHS patients and users of every public service about to be hammered.

Whoever the Conservative magic circle in Westminster puts in No 10 will have zero legitimacy, authority or credibility.

Truss is a history woman, six miserable weeks in Downing Street the shortest spell ever.

She beats George Canning's 119 days in 1827. He died. She failed completely.

No party in modern times has dumped two Premiers in a Parliament because it isn't reasonable to foist a third on the nation.

Our Parliamentary system is being tested to destruction by reckless, arrogant Conservatives.

So goodbye and good riddance to Truss, a terrible PM.

She proved even worse than law-breaking, deeply unpopular Boris Johnson.

The Last Chance Saloon has been drunk dry by these Tories.

Labour leader Keir Starmer rightly calls for a General Election.

Tories resist it to avoid a 1997 hammering in 2022.

That is their cynical position.

The Conservative Party first, country second.

Sunak, Mordaunt, Wallace, Braverman or A N Other handed the No 10 keys isn't the answer.

Giving power to the people, respecting the popular will, requires a General Election.

And if the Tories resist, Britons must take to the streets.
