Liz Truss’s time is up

[cupid_stunt]

Sky is suggesting the majority is so high because the SNP didn't vote, as fracking is banned in Scotland anyway.

 

[gentlegreen]

It's a very British coup.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

By over a hundred votes when there was a rebellion expected. That's twenty more than their majority.

yeah that's a weird bit. Can't imagine the DUP would vote for it, but not sure who else would oppose it.

 

[billy_bob]

Well folks, I'd love to join in the fun here but I've just had the call and apparently I have to be on standby because next time one of them resigns it's my turn to have a ministerial job.

If yours hasn't come up yet don't worry, I'm sure it won't be long.

 

[MickiQ]

Christ. The word 'unprecedented' is becoming routine and redundant.

When do we get to see a televised fist-fight in the Chamber?

At this rate tomorrow probably

Chief whip and deputy resigned lol

The way they are going on they will have to take a page out of the Russian Army's playbook and start snatching people off the streets to be Government ministers.

Nope, 96.

It's just people talking about asthma in an empty chamber now.

There's 90ish abstentions/absences. When do we get the breakdown of who got flung across which lobby? I reckon some of the opposition couldn't be arsed , keep turning the knife slower.

how to clutch a lost from a victory

Yep. Chris Bryant describing Alex Stafford being forced to vote/man handled on sky is better..

 

[maomao]

Nope, 96.

I'm applying for Kwasi Kwarteng's job.

 

[agricola]

Like Castro, you mean??

Fidel-ing whilst the government burns*

* sets itself on fire

 

[rutabowa]

the government won the vote

They'll be partying tonight!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

There are 356 tory MPs. 326 voted No. I can't imagine many, if any, non-Tories voted No, so maximum 30 rebellion, probably at least one or two are in hospital/on remand or something so absent.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Nice to hear some at Channel 4 still sticking to their channel's roots

 

[steveseagull]

40 didn;t vote with t the government. No wonder there was a massive climb down on the no confidence

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Is this on TV anywhere?

Please tell me someone has swung for Rees Mogg.

So where were the opposition?

Is this like the covid jab where my Mrs got one six months before me just because she once got some inhalable steroids from the doctor? Is there anything I can do to bump myself up the queue? Only I've got other stuff to be doing, so I'd like to get my Home Secretary service out the way quick smart. Besides, I'd just legalise all the things then have nowt all else to do tbf.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Johnson and Kwarteng voted against the government

<edit: sorry, they simply didn't vote with the government, most being reported as away.

Including Truss >

disgracefully, it seems not

It's only going to be a couple of days I'm sure you can squeeze it in.

That's Krishnan GM, isn't it? I'm sure he did similar off-air when he was presenting Newsround.

Fair enough, most of my work's over Zoom these days anyway, so can probably double-hat for a bit.

 

[Calamity1971]

From the spectator.
One MP who witnessed Morton walking past with the Prime Minister’s PPS, tells me: ‘She’s as mad as thunder and is saying ‘unbelievable’.’ Craig Whittaker has just come out of the lobby and said ‘I am fucking furious and I don’t give a fuck anymore.’

 

[steveseagull]

Apparently due to the chaos the votes are not adding up so they are being added up again.
