Farwell Liz Truss, welcome back.....Boris?

Nothing is out of the question in this country of mine. Boris could possibly be summoned back to Number 10 to serve once again as prime minister after Liz Truss's spectacular fall from grace. King Charles who said "oh dear, oh dear" the last time he saw Truss for a private audience at Buckingham Place will no doubt be saying "oh dear for heaven's sake" when he next sees her to receive her resignation after just 45 days in office. I expect the late departed Queen could hardly believe it when she had to receive Boris's resignation and shortly afterwards Truss's take-over premiership all in one day - 24 hours or so before she finally had enough and passed from this life, much to the shock and dismay of the whole world. The former Prince of Wales and now King Charles III has had only a few weeks to take over the reins of the reign before confronting his first constitutional crisis. Oh dear indeed. If Bois gets anointed as the prime minister the second time round, poor old Charles will be almost lost for words. But perhaps: "Oh it's you again, prime ministe, welcome back." There are other candidates of course. The super-ambitious Rishi Sunak, former chancellor, will want to push everyone else out of the way and is no doubt selling his wares too all and sundry to persuade them to let him be the sole candidate, so he can get on with doing what he promised to do the last time he campaigned for the Number 10 job which was exactly the opposite to what Truss was promising and which Jeremy Hunt has kindly announced as HIS idea. Hunt won't be standing for the premiership for some reason although I can't blame him. So there is also Penny Mordaunt who as far as I know isn't an economist, Ben Wallace who doesn't want it, he says, and possibly Tom, Dick and Harry. Fill in the surnames. So if not enough people want Sunak, not yet anyway, dear old Boris could be back. I can just see him turning as he enters through the famous door, waving to adoring crowds (actually hugely cynical reporters and TV crews) and reentering Number 10 like a Churchillian beast.
