Liz Truss’s time is up

[weepiper]

This pretty much an admission that it's over, isn't it?

Good for you.

edited. To be fair, I put it in the wrong thread, Mods can you move it if it upsets people please.

If she doesn’t step down that would indicate a level of crazy that is quite staggering. Imagine trying to muscle past this degree of public humiliation. The entire world has seen how incompetent she is.

If she tries to stay that would tell me she’s either psychopathically incapable of owning her shit, or pathologically incapable of self knowledge. Oh, wait. She’s a Tory so…

 

[gentlegreen]

Is there another layer going on here in terms of reclaiming the party from the psychos - having allowed them to do something really stupid and then deploying Captain Sensible ?

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

As if…

No, government spending will be set out on the 31st Oct. as planned, this announcement was just to undo the clusterfuck of the mini-budget, basically a holding position.

Wow really cant face up to the problems

New prediction. Next time Truss appears to speak in public, it will be to resign.

This may not be today, rate we're going.

BBC live updates page has stuff like:

A former cabinet minister has told me Hunt's economic statement just now confirmed that Truss "is a goner, it put it beyond any doubt".

They continued: "What is the point of Liz Truss? That is the question... there is literally no point."

Another MP says: “The whole basis of her premiership is shredded… she needs a way out”

It is difficult to imagine how she's going to get past PMQs at the moment tbh, so possibly some time before then. But who knows. Maybe she enjoys the humiliation.

To add that Newsnight Political Editor has said on the world at one on BBC radio 4 has said he has heard that her own team thinks she will be gone this week

 

[MrCurry]

The lettuce is looking confident!

 

[Sue]

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

The Stakhanovite thing doesn't work with this shower but sure we can all get behind the knacker's yard destination.

Perhaps the whole thing was a kind of experiment to see how much RW pull the markets and the polls would stand. So they won’t be expunged, just put back in their box til the next time. Or til they get a smarter batch.







Pickman's model I don’t think they’re consciously going for accelerationism, it’s just happening as a spontaneous artefact of their push to go further R.

Salad with better spin than the PM.

Well if the rumours about her being a collared slave are true…

If that’s the case then presumably it’s her Dom who’s been calling the shots these last few weeks.

Their brass neck never ceases to amaze so .

 

[moochedit]

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

She still hasn't resigned

Truss is a gooner? Hope not.

 

[Voley]

I don't think I can recall a bigger political U Turn than this by anyone.

Starmer is...its endemic

Its partly a question of whether they can get one of the prototype stand-ins working in time for PMQs.

"Difficult decisions have to be made" etc etc...

Famous last words.

indeed it's not something they're doing voluntarily or consciously but as viewers of the sandman will know, there are vortices around whom events spin and liz truss is one of these. unless she's swiftly dealt with the centripetal forces she is unleashing will have horrendous consequences not only for us but for the remainder of the multiverse too.

maybe you weren't paying attention at the time

Have you seen the Peter Oborne video on Doubledown where he uses movie clips to portray her as a posh flapper ?
