Liz Truss’s time is up

[billy_bob]

Murkier and murkier

Probably emailing Badenoch making plans to go out and commit hate crimes against immigrants.

Shortest-serving UK home secretaries (May 1945 onwards)
1. Suella Braverman, 43 days
2. Donald Somervell, 62 days (post-WW2 caretaker)
3. Alan Johnson, 340 days
4. David Waddington, 398 days
5. Kenneth Clarke, 412 days

 

[Rob Ray]

Shortest since Herbert Samuel in 1916 by my count.

 

[flypanam]

Now is the time for a man used to failure Chris Grayling for PM.

 

[spitfire]

Suella Braverman's time is up.

Fucking is too. :D

<cough>

This is the second minister gone in under a week.

Second very senior minister

What on earth Mr Hunt is up to that led to such a panicked flight, I'm not sure

 

[billy_bob]

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.

You'd think... but will those 'rules' apply ever again? Now they know you can basically rape and pillage all you like and just style it out and after a week of headlines everyone stops caring, that toothpaste's never going back in that tube.

 

[steveseagull]

Oh dear oh dear

Probably emailing Badenoch making plans to go out and commit hate crimes against immigrants.

And whatever it is, there'll also be a grass at the other end who has reported it. Even more tory on tory hate.

 

[Knotted]

Why is urban75 collectively watching PMQ's???? This is weirder than anything Truss has done.

Well, from that image it appears he's sewn himself into some kind of human centipede.

Oh dear oh dear

"multiple sources with direct knowledge" - were they all huddled round her phone on the back seats of the number 23?!

 

[kebabking]

I understand honest mistakes, they can happen to anyone - indeed, if you can believe it - one happened to me...

I filled out my DV form as usual, listing all my niche porn addictions, but having been distracted for a moment, forgot to put down that my wife was in fact an SVR officer called Svetlana who keeps me locked in the Utility Room, and my £400k gambling debt.

She didn't beat Richard Grenville-Temple, who resigned both Home and Foreign secretaryships after three days:

[killer b]

some serious shade in that resignation letter.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I'm not sure Truss will thank her for all that stuff about accepting responsibility for mistakes.

 

[spitfire]

some serious shade in that resignation letter.

Indeed. Qualifies as brutal I'd say. Worst I remember seeing.

"Good luck. (you'll need it)."

 

[billy_bob]

Honourable resignation over procedural matter most people don't give a fuck about vs getting the fuck outta here before even more shit hits the fan...

 

[bluescreen]

some serious shade in that resignation letter.

Nothing in her office became her so much as the leaving of it.

 

[MrCurry]

Grant Shapps - FFS. Every time I think the current bunch of wankers can’t get any worse they pull another clueless fucktard out of their never ending box of dildo-heads. I suppose at least if he is forced to resign, Michael Green can jump straight in to take over.

 

[billy_bob]

Oh, OH ... OH NO! I accidentally parked in Ben Wallace's space. What was I thinking? Well, that's the end of my ministerial career and no mistake. No, I won't hear of it - rules are rules and I have to do the right thing.

runs away exceptionally fast

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Basically Truss has now fucked off all the people who actually did support her in order to crawl to the people who'll think she's a waste of space regardless hasn't she.

That's an unfortunate position to be in.

 

[8ball]

It doesn't seem like a massive and irrecoverable mistake, really.
Was it that the knives were out she wanted to stick in a couple of her own?

 

[agricola]

some serious shade in that resignation letter.

I think it may be the one occasion she has ever made me laugh - "... hoping things will magically come right is not serious politics"

 

[bimble]

No way it’s cos of the email, hopefully she’s done it as a protest or maybe she was just too bonkers for this new very stable and sensible gov we’ve got since Monday and so they decided she had to go.

More knives flying around than 1am at an Edward Scissorhands convention.

 

[steveseagull]

"Pretending we haven't made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can't see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility; I resign."

Ouch
