Liz Truss’s time is up

[Pickman's model]

So back to square one, mini budget undone, but we get increased mortgage costs anyway. Oh and some nice price rises down the line.


Yay.

to be fair, he simply said that the prime minister, code named boxer, had been sent to the hospital in willingdon

A reminder that all political careers end in failure meltdown.

It does usually take more than a few weeks though tbf.

find it very hard to give a shit whether she stays or goes what difference does it make?

Some people tried to spoil the mood in the end of Johnson thread via the same sentiments, but we can now see that his successor made a notable difference to the political future of this country.

yeh but accelerationism means we'll be seeing more of this speedy rise and fall

Chunt appears to be delivering the final blow, in real time. She can't survive this surely? Not even her vaunted energy price guarantee (they've guaranteed you'll all pay double)

BiB, they haven't, there will be a review of how support continues after April, i.e. a more targeted approach, we will have to wait and see how that works, no need to panic.

Yet.

That windfall tax on renewable providers seems reasonable. They are receiving electricity rates linked to the gas price despite their input costs not increasing. This was all massive extra shareholder profits and wouldn’t have been invested in new schemes.

Indeed, best would be to tax any profits that aren't invested back into renewables, though. Otherwise it's cutting investment in new schemes. Is that how they've done it?

Ok I have a five minute lunch break, what's happened so far today?

I can't believe anyone could think she can brazen this out-really unimaginable!!

As with Johnson, it's mostly a case of she's awful and I want her to be ruined and humiliated. Will it help? No, but it'll cheer me up for half a beat.

Oh ballsed that up bloody signal soz

Oh ballsed that up bloody signal soz

A better apology than Truss manages when she repeats her lines.

Oh ballsed that up bloody signal soz

Say that again?

Oh ballsed that up bloody signal soz

Just brazen it out, it's all the rage these days.

Probably a more horrible humiliating experience for her to stay on now, with no authority at all and no mates. Which makes it even harder to care either way imo.

I was expecting a progression through "I can't believe anyone could think that anyone could imagine she can brazen this out-really unimaginable!!"

Have a feeling we won't see her until Strictly Come Dancing next year.

I always check the clickbait satire twitter accounts when I'm looking for the latest insights and analysis on what's going on too

The parachuted-in chancellor to my naive eye looks more prime-ministerial than the current one or the previous one if not three - albeit on a very narrow area of policy and tidying up the horrific mess made by a coked-up psycho via his "boss"

 

[Petcha]

Was there any mention of raising UC in line with inflation as the the 5th to last Chancellor promised?
