      She added: Your actions have left some 200 or more of my MP colleagues to face an electoral tsunami and the loss of their livelihoods, because in your impatience to become prime minister you put your personal ambition above the stability of the country and our economy.

      Err… Are you forgetting what your dear BoJo did to the office of PM? Or Cabbage Truss… stability of the economy? F’ing deluded. She’s havin’ a laff.

        the loss of their livelihoods

          I mean it’s fine if they need the money. Don’t want only rich people being MPs.

          Her statement is so tone deaf though. MPs are well paid and get pretty reasonable “loss of office” payments for their transition out if they contest and lose a election.

          As if the couple of hundred tory MPs (most of whom are well off anyway) are anywhere near to the top of the victim list!
