Rory Stewart berates the Tories for Liz Truss’ term as prime minister, saying that he wishes that he became head of government.
Andrew Neil gives his analysis of a troubling day for the Conservatives, before interviewing Michael Gove on Reform UK’s surge.
Al Murray claims the only way he’d run as an MP against Nigel Farage again is if he was offered “a million quid”.

This strap line is so unfair. He said he wished that someone motivated by moral principles was PM - one of whom might have been him.
-
Did Times Radio listen to Rory? This standard of journalism is so so shoddy. Misleading clickbait title to get views.
-
For me, Rory Stewart is the ideal candidate for PM. He was Labour, then Conservative, so he sees both sides. When the Lib Dems, needed a leader a few years ago, I thought he resigned from the leadership race to go for that Liberal leadership. If I were PM, he would be my No.1 choice for Foreign Secretary due to his extensive knowledge 👍🏼

So do i rory. Biggest missed oppurtunity for the uk for decades
-
'I still wish I became......' has the Times given up on basic grammar altogether?
-
What a joy it would be with Rory Stewart as PM
-
The acceptable face of British Conservatism, and I'm no Tory. The Tory's are a lost cause.
-
Love the interview where Rory calls out Matt Chorley and other media for indulging Boris, Truss & co. The media has huge responsibility for the mess the UK is in.
-
‘I still wish I HAD become president’.
-
The best PM the Tories never had. A decent, conscientious, selfless well motivated individual. In total contrast to Johnson who has caused the death of the Conservative Party.
-
Please can someone convince Al Murray to RERUN as FUKP PubLandlord against Farage .. !!
-
This guy is a failed politician scorned.
-
I still wish I had become Prime Minister, ffs. The Times!
-
I’ve always voted labour but I would have definitely voted for Rory….he’s a class act
-
I wonder what would have happened if the bonkers Conservative members didn’t have the final say on the leader. Such a disastrous move by William Hague to make this rule.
-
So do I Rory so do I 😂😂
-
I think all politicians should do a lie detector test. Before been allowed to become a mp 🤥👍
-
He’s a really interesting guy (his books are fantastic) but he’s not really a conservative. He, like many MP’s are Social Democrats. That’s why the Tories are riven with civil war and failing so badly. It’s also why the media loves him, anything to the right is labelled ‘Far Right’.

And you can't fix the system while trying to play by the system's rules. And you can't survive in it if you don't follow the rules.

The only way I’d ever contemplate voting Tory would be if Stewart was leader, which is never going to happen now.
