I think anyone who's been listening since 2016 knows that.

What is unusual is for the Prime Minister, and party leader, to change so often. As Eric Cartman pointed out above, last night we had the bonkers spectacle of MPs being threatened with expulsion from the Conservative party if they voted for something that was in the manifesto they fought the last election on! We're long past the stage where the current Prime Minister has a mandate from the electorate for either her original policies or the diametrically opposite ones her Government is now adopting and, unless the next one in the rota to be PM is going to follow the 2019 election manifesto's main policies, they won't have a mandate either.

It’s astonishing that this government has kicked out more Home Secretaries than people to Rwanda.

Don't get me wrong, at present we have no functioning government. Its farcical.

But I can't see an election being called as quite a few Tory MPs will be out of work
