Liz Truss’s time is up

[Wilf]

The amusing thing is that when she finally emerges from the bunker, she'll still be forced to defend trickledown and that this mayhem is promoting enterprise.

Running the leadership again at any point before the next election makes them look like a skip fire on steroids, a box of frogs where the frogs have all brought their mates. Letting this unroll with PM and Chancellor remaining in post fucks them over economic competency and almost certainly brings kieth in as the next fucking useless PM. Ironically, both of those options probably deliver on both of those consequences.

This place is an absolute gold mine of descriptive prose, absolutely love it

I just checked how old this thread was, and it appears it was started exactly twelve weeks ago, though it feels like longer.

We all knew Truss was going to be a disaster, but did anyone really imagine it would turn so disastrous so fucking quickly?

I wouldn't be surprised if it's already been done somewhere, but if not, someone needs to photo shop Truss's face on to this...

Its been done, yes, its uncanny - knew I’d screenshot it

 

[Karl Masks]

At this point I think she'll actually push the tickell button

Anyway, I'm sure I'd wished johnson a painful death this far into his premiership. Only seems fair to wish her the same I suppose.

Having gone through this last season with Benitez, it really cannot be overemphasized how important it is to sack them quickly and then ride the post-sacking bounce to safety (whilst you still can).

I have a standard painful death wish for all Tory MPs and parliamentary candidates just so I never get caught out at this point.

Admittedly I don't know much about economics but I am surprised how quick and easy it seems to be to tank a major economy.

And don't forget, she also killed the queen

 

[maomao]

So will it blow over or are we really in a doom spiral? After a week more of this and Starmer on a 20 point lead could 36 (or whatever) Tories be tempted over for a parliamentary confidence vote and a GE or even a national unity government?

So you're saying she's not all bad..?

Easier when it's all smoke and mirrors and far more reliant on financial services etc for "wealth creation" I think, same reason China is always on the brink of collapse but never does because it's full of people actually growing, building and making shit too.
