Liz Truss’s time is up

[two sheds]

cc'd wrong person that's exactly the sort we need for Home Secretary.

She has made tonight's vote a vote on confidence....

Meanwhile...

Do you think that for some tories they end up there as a result of deep childhood trauma?

Like being called skidmark all the way through school.

Accidently cc'd Yvette Cooper

 

[steveseagull]

Let's not forget Braverman scuppered the India trade deal as well by gobbing off.

 

[Lord Camomile]

"...grateful for your service as Home Secretary. Your time in office was marked by..."

For fuck's sake, her time in office was so short it wouldn't even have been marked by payroll updating her work address!

I once wrote a text to my manager whining about a colleague (and calling him a cunt) that kept taking dodgy sickies and I kept being bullied into covering for and then sent it to the colleague. But I'm not the Home Secretary.

Why are they telling their MPs that they have to vote for fracking or get dewhipped? Seriously why? I don’t understand any of it.
Moratorium on fracking was their 2019 policy & none of their constituents want to be fracked.
Is it skulduggery like if you don’t have the whip you can’t no confidence Liz?

If not that then what explains it? Seems entirely mad.

I accidentally signed off an email to my boss with 'retards' rather than 'regards' once. They didn't notice though, so I guess that tells me how much they actually care

 

[Raheem]

Well let's ser what happens in the fracking vote

Language!

Nor does Truss.

 

[Karl Masks]

we could have all signed that

 

[bimble]

Nor does Truss.

Why is it happening it’s not just random chance or that the whip is drunk.
Got to be a reason.

If you lose the whip your no confidence letters get binned , best & only explanation I can think of.

The whips are only acting on Truss' instructions, she is clearly in denial about the lack of support for this policy, and her.

 

[two sheds]

It shows how strong she is and how she won't stand for any dissent in HER Conservative Party or else

:fingers crossed:

To test the authority of the party. If it can squeeze through a pretty unpopular bill then they can be more confident that they can do business in future. And it's not Truss's authority, it's Hunt et al's.

 

[steveseagull]

Blue on blue

Maybe she wants fewer Tory MPs, if they’re de whipped & so not in the party they can’t no confidence her.

 

[elbows]

Does ERG now stand for Expunged Radical Gammon?

 

[maomao]

What time's this vote then?

 

[cupid_stunt]

What time's this vote then?

About 7pm

Why would you test your authority or their loyalty today though, when you’re very obviously half dead.
It’s like they’re trying to make the MPs eat a steaming shit sandwich live on telly to prove how much they love Liz, or Hunt, which none of them do. Makes no sense.

There are that many clubs and knives heading in her direction that they are bouncing off each other and never quite hitting the target.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Truss in high spirits is useless. Truss in a crisis will be a car crash.

Strong & stable

 

[QueenOfGoths]

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde

To lose one cabinet member, Ms. Truss, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose two looks like carelessness.”

I'm enjoying this

 

[gosub]

Stull disagree with her over Independence, but got a fair bit of time for Mhairi Black

This is the weirdest fucking dream I've ever had and its going on a bit
