Liz Truss’s time is up

[bimble]

What are they going to be thinking, is it just 'who do the majority of us hate the least' right now or is it who might give us a chance of not losing the next GE?

 

[Rob Ray]

Guess who's back? Not Tugendhat. Add him to the pile with Gove and Hunt.

Don't Google. Which year had three kings?

Not three Kings, 1 King and two Queens, 1553 - Edward vi, lady Jane grey, Mary tudor

Either "let's crown Sunak" or "how can we stop Sunak".

 

[Petcha]

I won!!

Yes

 

[Ted Striker]

It has to be Boris, doesn't it?

He's the only person that can defy the necessary gravity, and deflects the argument away from the General election

No, he's come down to earth with a bump and wants to spend more time with his bank account

This is a huge blow to Labours election chances

Yep. Still favourites, but ... yep.

 

[Petcha]

Me and my colleagues have come down to the pub to celebrate. I've not seen the country this united since the Euros. It feels like VE day.

 

[redcogs]

im sick of this Tory shitshow. Its time we had a popular working class challenge to all the smug fucks of every Party in the house of commons. If a general election is not called, and yet another useless time serving fuckshit of a Tory is imposed, then the TUC should call an immediate GENERAL STRIKE! The ordinary people are being treated with absolute contempt by a tiny sponging minority of right wing lisping semi despots and it has got to fucking end.

I don't think so. It's still chaos. Truss has resigned without a replacement or even an agreement on how to replace her.

imo a general election soon has now become much more likely.

It's their ideas and actions, not their speech impediments, I find objectionable

Zero BC and one AD.

Yep. Still favourites, but ... yep.

Sunak will win. Sorry. But that's my prediction. More than happy to be proven wrong. He has enough time to right the ship.

And no, I don't have a 'hard-on' for him. I'm just a pragmatist.

 

[elbows]

Yep. Still favourites, but ... yep.

Conventional wisdom is that it will take a decade or more for the tories to begin to recover their economic reputation. I have little reason to doubt that wisdom at this stage, no matter how well the next leader performs.

And there will probably be plenty of events this winter which worsen peoples impressions of the government.

There are also unknowns about how long the next tory leader will feel like they can wait before calling an election. So no end of timing speculation ahead.

 

[bluescreen]

The scary thing is that Liz Truss was not the bottom of the barrel. There’s further down to go.

The very point that Robert Shrimsley was making this morning: "the Truss experiment has shown us to be wary of calling the bottom of a political market. There is always another rung down."

What’s to celebrate ? Who’s going eventually replace her ? Starmer ? He will be far worse.

So who's in charge?

She is

She who won't be obeyed

So who's in charge?

Truss will remain nominally in charge during the fast tracked leadership contest. In practice this wont be much different to the position she already found herself in, members of cabinet calling certain shots.

Yes, but their readers are barking mad.

 

[kabbes]

I am amused that despite the markets’ role in bringing her down, they apparently don’t give a crap about her departure
