Liz Truss’s time is up

[Voley]

maybe you weren't paying attention at the time

Probably true.

I'm struggling to recall another politician U-turning on their entire philosophy. Not in 3 weeks anyhow.

Still:

The likes of the BBC have started paying more attention to the bedding odds.

 

[Numbers]

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.

That would read brilliantly on screen in the style of the Star Wars intros.

 

[Idris2002]

Mrs Idris tells me that there's now a rumour that Truss and Kwarteng are shagging - I said that her office is probably spreading that one to humanise her image.

Salad with better spin than the PM.

Ah, Giles Radice, never made it to be PM.

(One for our older viewers )

Well, I suppose they'll both have time on their hands soon. The Devil makes work etc.

a long time ago

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

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

I'm not quite sure why Mordaunt would go to be honest. If ever there's a time to tell the PM to go fuck herself and get off the sinking ship now would seem to be it.

yeh but what better platform to fuck truss over from than at the dispatch box in the house of commons

I wish truss was in a galaxy far far away

The sense of having fucked everything up in the realms of politics, economics, finance and presentation: it's like waking up after a bender, being vaguely aware the police were involved, a memory of throwing up on the cat, one shoe, no wallet and a traffic cone stuck up yer arse. It's like that for liz 24/7.

I hope you’re right but I kind of doubt it. Reckon she thinks she did nothing wrong, world failed to understand or appreciate her genius, she’s too far ahead of her time .

Who invented this horrible pretend word “trussonomics” was it her.

She gets to look Prime Ministerial.

On the boring - actually not boring - front, Mordaunt is Lord President of the Council. The Council advises the Monarch on stuff like who should be PM - for example....

During WW2 the Lord President held an overarching Economic security role. which, one might argue, could be relevant.

She's also one of the few Cabinet members who don't appear to be either drunk, coked up, or having a stroke at the dispatch box. Calms the troops somewhat...

defeated by the treasonous anti-growth coalition

Yep, there'll be cognitive dissonance along with a fair bit of 'why didn't the markets/Bank of England understand what we were doing'? She'll also be angry at all the sycophants who supported her leadership campaign but have gone very quiet. I was going to say there'll be a bunker mentality - inevitable Downfall - but actually she's not managed to even build a bunker it's been such a short space of time. She got the hat to wear, but her predecessor's name is still on the door.

 

[Idris2002]

"Truss and Kwarteng sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G." seems charmingly innocent and normal for the Tories, the party of autoerotic asphyxiation.

 

[elbows]

Well Truss gets to meet with two Tory groups in the next two days so how that goes should contribute to determining the timing of her fate and the extent of her remaining resolve. Still has to survive PMQs even then.

 

[Ax^]

no one else is

tbf if you have a log burner in your house
you could buy the knock down price books for heating purposes

one book that i would not see a problem burning

 

[izz]

As an aside, as the markets tanked shortly after the minibudge, are we now calling Truss and Kamikwazi the 'anti-growth coalition' ?

Please let her hang on a bit. She hasn’t done all the damage to the Tory Party she is capable of yet.

tbh there's loads of books i wouldn't have a problem burning. jeffrey archer's novels, for example.

At this point you'd hang in just out of spite wouldn't you? It must be tempting
