I think the idea was she'd call a GE immediately and then if/when they lost, she'd spearhead the rebuild phase.
Still, who'd willingly be the figurehead of the predicted decimation? I can see her taking the job
after the election.
She could be PM for 100 days (beating Truss), ensuring a lifetime of lucrative speaking engagements.
Or she could be leader of the opposition (assuming they don't end up 3rd), with a handful of MPs and a very real chance of being deposed as leader at any point, but almost certainly when they also lose the 2029 election.
I'd go for the PM title and ensure everyone knew it was Truss/Sunak that made it an impossible job. Which would actually be true.
