Liz Truss’s time is up

[elbows]

Yeah but what does that actually mean, within a week for MPs to decide?

Whatever the detail it means the new leader will be decided within a week.

 

[bimble]

She'd probably have survived if she hadn't forced them all to vote for fucking fracking yesterday, of all things, completely mad all of it.

 

[Lord Camomile]

mps only to vote on next PM. Between Mourdant and Sunak? Johnsons back in for lols? Cruella for the loons?

No idea myself, but if the suggestion was Mourdant agreed to just take the party up to the next election, whether her or someone else maybe that's the only way to get someone to take it and others to get behind?

Someone towards the start of their career, for whom it would be a platform to build on, rather than their 'one and only shot', which likely wouldn't appeal to any of the bigger names?

Or maybe someone bland who is happy to give it a go for two years because they never thought they'd get anywhere near the job otherwise, so anything is a bonus rather than a 'wasted opportunity'?

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Thank fuck I won’t have to read or hear another word about that fucking lettuce

 

[friedaweed]

Same number of days as Brian Clough at Leeds?

His pay-off was estimated at £98,000

I bet that's what she was offered from Chaz to fuck off.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Hunt will not be standing for leader.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Were you aware that as an ex-PM she will receive a payment of £115,000 a year for life?

As do Major, Blair, Brown, Johnson, Cameron and May?

Up to iirc, supposedly to carry out good works

 

[Storm Fox]

The cynical fantasist in me has wondered all along if Lizz Truss was just a part of operation save Big Dog part 2.

Johnson was doing badly in the polls, so it won't do much, after this chaos, who wants Fun-Time Boris

 

[not-bono-ever]

.

 

[elbows]

Mordaunt must be watching the lettuce cam since she just told MPs to keep calm and carry on, just like the mug thats currently present in the scene on that camera.

 

[A380]

Strong n Stable.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

 

[Dogsauce]

Bloke on the BBC just said ‘2022, the year of three Prime Ministers… at least’.

 

[friedaweed]

Johnson was doing badly in the polls, so it won't do much, after this chaos, who wants Fun-Time Boris

Yeah it was fantasy Island thoughts boss.

 

[Cerv]

please can she quit parliament instead of hanging around the backbenches as an embarrassment.
the bye-election would be hilarious.

 

[flypanam]

So it’s a vote by MPs? They really don’t trust the members!

 

[ItStillWontWork]

It's going to be Sunak, right?

 

[Sue]

Johnson was doing badly in the polls, so it won't do much, after this chaos, who wants Fun-Time Boris

Yeah it was fantasy Island thoughts boss.

The way things are going, who knows..?!

 

[xenon]

OK Yep. Hands up. I was wrong.

Had Truss surviving until mid Nov at least. Markets settled down with Hunt in charge. Grey men calling the shots and a potential replacement being sought out behind the scenes. Yesterday's rediculous chaos made that untenable.

 

[cupid_stunt]

The Daily Star's front page tomorrow is going to be a classic.

 

[elbows]

She'd probably have survived if she hadn't forced them all to vote for fucking fracking yesterday, of all things, completely mad all of it.

 

[friedaweed]

Hunt will not be standing for leader.

News readers across the world breath a sigh of relief....

 

[redsquirrel]

Whatever the detail it means the new leader will be decided within a week.

Well they obviously would like a coronation. But with them fighting like rats in a sack I'm not sure how practical that is. Or what position it leaves any leader in.

 

[bimble]

It's going to be Sunak, right?

i reckon it'll probably be Mordaunt, because fewer people hate her, because nobody knows who she is and she can do the media performances. With Sunak as chancellor.

 

[Yossarian]

Another day and she would have outlasted David Blaine's time in the glass box.

 

[not a trot]

So Larry is officialy in charge for the next week.

 

[elbows]

Well they obviously would like a coronation. But with them fighting like rats in a sack I'm not sure how practical that is. Or what position it leaves any leader in.

They probably spent most of todays meeting working out the practicalities.

 

[hash tag]

Were you aware that as an ex-PM she will receive a payment of £115,000 a year for life?

As do Major, Blair, Brown, Johnson, Cameron and May?

And probably security for life.

 

[andysays]

i reckon it'll probably be Mordaunt, because fewer people hate her, because nobody knows who she is and she can do the media performances. With Sunak as chancellor.

I suspect this is correct.

Can anyone remember how many votes she missed out on going into the final round by last time?

 

[flypanam]

It's going to be Sunak, right?

Nah half of them hate him for stabbing BJ. I think a pile of dog shit actually has a chance of winning this!
