Liz Truss’s time is up

[ska invita]

Corbyn-like parallel, popular with the membership, gets 'couped' by centrists and markets, would still be popular with the membership

I'm not sure the membership are still for Truss. She's failed on her own terms.

We’re discussing a poll that says 45% of the membership would still vote for her!

 

[bimble]

Because I’m an idiot I popped over to DM comments yesterday, there’s a loud and frankly frightening contingent there who seem to be fans of liz truss because she’s blonde and owns a pair of boobs, maybe those nutters are this 45% of Tory members idk seems quite possible.

Against Sunak. I don't read that as a ringing endorsement.

Strange cult. They're not like normal people.

I only Know one Tory Party Member he voted for Truss
He wants Boris back..I think he's quite representative

Yep, as much pot-on-kettle as it is blue-on-blue.

My money is currently on Morduant as the one with the least enemies who actually wants the job of the top candidates

Agree with this above

Her perfomance yesterday was fucking brilliant to be fair. Killing her softly. Her pauses to allow the jeers after confirming that 'the prime minister isn't hiding under a desk'

I didn't think the partygate thing could be topped in terms of absolute tory schadenfruede but, no, they've upped their game

It was certainly better than her televised Tory hustings effort but I imagine her personal ambition, exceeds her abilities. It cannot be stated enough, the tories have no mp of ability that would be able to navigate the shit they have caused.

Well, no, Rishi Sunak is capable of doing exactly that. He predicted virtually everything that has happened almost word for word. He's been wisely completely staying away from this shitstorm. And he could actually win a general election which is a bit concerning.

The other parallel is getting the membership to choose. A rule they borrowed from labour. Regrettably.

Nah he’s a loser.

Tory group think is not pleasant. Those that live by the sword etc

 

[xenon]

Fuck me, 45% of them would still vote for Truss? That’s incredible.

You must have heard some of them speak during the leadership campaign? The osified special thinking dolts that make up a lot of the membership.

 

[Thesaint]

Still there is two years until the next GE so anything could happen and these days you would put money on it.
If energy prices come back down and the pound recovers a bit that might give Truss some 'luck' she could fall back on...If she stays long enough though.

Ah jesus man stop with your hardon for Sunak, it's embarrassing.

 

[Cerv]

Corbyn-like parallel,

not sure he'd appreciate the comparison really

 

[Petcha]

I was commenting on the electability of a candidate. Like it or not, Sunak's approval ratings would suggest he could win a GE. If you're not willing to acknowledge that, then well.

 

[killer b]

I can't see it tbh. Probably 'cause your massive hard on for Sunak is in the way.

 

[Kaka Tim]

It’s going to be mordant I’m pretty sure, sunak chancellor. They’ll probably win the next election.

will they bollocks. they are utterly utterly stuffed.

I've only spoken to one tory member, he didn't vote for Truss, nor does he want Johnson back.

 

[killer b]

Sunak's approval ratings

have you even looked at these recently or do you just repeat whatever bollocks the tories you work with tell you?

 

[bimble]

will they bollocks. they are utterly utterly stuffed.

i think it's living where i do thats made me this defeatist. People here might vote tory in smaller numbers next time but they'll still win.

He lost a leadership contest to Liz Truss. Liz Truss of all people.

Three points:

1. The Tories cannot hold a leadership election, try out the winner, then when she doesn’t work out, appoint the loser. That makes a mockery of the leadership contest.
2. It’s bad enough leaders coming and going without a general election, but with no party democracy either? It’s no longer the 1950s.
3. Liz Truss. He lost to Liz Truss.

Tory MPs were elected by about 14 million people to represent them in parliament, they have a bigger mandate to pick their leader than the party membership of under 200k.

 

[SpookyFrank]

To be fair if I was in a contest to see who tory party members liked best I would very much hope to lose it.

 

[contadino]

I know a couple of Tories who are adamant that John Redwood is going to grab the baton and save us all.

Ah, an Edmund Burke admirer. Yes, well, you’d get on well with Mike Smithson, but constitution-less constitution aside, it’s not going to be Sunak.
