Liz Truss’s time is up

[Lord Camomile]

TUC Congress currently going on, and there's a good chance that speeches may be out of date before the speaker has left the stage!

As it is, mention of "a Tory government full of sexist bigots" can be applied broadly enough that the current speaker is probably safe...

 

[Artaxerxes]

Last nights tofu had its revenge and it wasn’t on me

 

[Karl Masks]

It's like musical chairs. Without the chairs. Or the music.

So just a bunch of people in a room running around and periodically falling over?

 

[Wilf]

It's not clear to me whether she got the boot or walked - anyone?

If it's a resignation, that's it surely game over? You can't lose 2 cunts from the 'great offices of state'... in a week. But then as with the attempts to pry johnson out, there are always a couple of more stages of humiliation, pathetic revamps and running off with the office stapler to go before the axe falls. There finally comes a point where you can't hide in the fridge/under the desk any longer.

 

[Bingoman]

Confirmed Braverman gone

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

So just a bunch of people in a room running around and periodically falling over?

Or a "cabinet meeting" to give it the proper title.

 

[killer b]

Peston says she's been been asked to resign over an issue relating to “security”.

I can't wait to find out what this security issue is tbf

 

[WhyLikeThis]

“security related”

Could she not get clearance? The mind boggles.

 

[Wilf]

Yes, an excellent definition of government itself (though they do fall in an and out of cars quite a bit).

 

[sleaterkinney]

Did the legislation to make protesters wear ankle tags go through or not?

 

[kebabking]

“security related”

Wouldn't be remotely surprised....

Bye Sue.

 

[steveseagull]

shortest serving Home Secretary for 188 years

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

I wouldn't rule him (Johnson) out forever, but he'll certainly sit this one out. He knows he'd lose (probably his own seat too), and he's started to make silly money for turning up somewhere in a tuxedo, rambling on, and quaffing champers at someone else's expense.

Liars always make good money telling people lies they'd like to hear.

 

[prunus]

It's like musical chairs. Without the chairs. Or the music.

Unmusical nochairs.

Or silent standing?

 

[Jeff Robinson]

I think it was ultimately the tofu industrial complex that was responsible for her downfall.

 

[agricola]

I'd love it if its because she established a fake identity in order to run her IT business.

 

[Lord Camomile]

“security related”

Dear lord, if this one turns out to be about competency and wholly unrelated to infighting, that's even better! It's not even a single calamity they're having to deal with

 

[steveseagull]

 

[Wilf]

Ironic if she goes on 'security issues' and gets replaced my multiple identities/outright liar shapps.

 

[agricola]

I think it was ultimately the tofu industrial complex that was responsible for her downfall.

Japanese cottage industry is a cut throat world - who can forget that the entire plot of Yojimbo is about a fight to the death between criminal gangs; one in the pay of a sake baron and a silk merchant.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Well the 'mistake' part is certainly plausible.

 

[Bingoman]

She shared Serciuty info on a private phone with someone she should not have

 

[bimble]

Belatedly astounded by the new level of crazy that made it so braverman was the actual Home Secretary in the first place, even if she only was it for a week. Was that a liz truss decision putting her in that job?

 

[Wilf]

It's going to be some WhatsApp thing.

 

[steveseagull]

Murkier and murkier

 

[platinumsage]

It's easy to say it's a "security" matter because then they don't have to give details. It's probably something far more interesting such as accusing Hunt of eating quinoa.

 

[billy_bob]

Oh, that's a shame.
I liked her.

Thanks a lot - actually just choked on my own saliva, I laughed so suddenly at that.
