Liz Truss’s time is up

[ska invita]

Thats a point, does this budget need to be passed in the chamber?

 

[maomao]

That quote from The Wire comes to mind.

"If Snotboogie always stole the money, why'd you let him play?"

it does, yeah

[gosub]

I'd love to be sat in with Truss' speechwriter right now. Can you imagine.

Try affording imported cheese now, you unpatriotic fuckers!

 

[gosub]

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.

enjoy pork and rice while you can.

[ska invita]

it does, yeah

so presumably it wont pass, even with their majority

Unlikely to make it to the vote in it's current form I'd say.

normally there would be no question - but who knows? Might not get to that stage as the threat of revolt means Kwarting gets sacked and they "adjust" (reverse) the budget with a new chancellor and pretend it never happened (Bobby Ewing getting out of the shower style)

 

[Ted Striker]

Hopefully she'll come out in a Tank Commander's uniform with goggles.

To the tune of dancing queen

It's only a mini budget anyway, not a real one.

Announcing a 'Speical Operation' to rhe Isle of Mann.

 

[moochedit]

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.

She tweeted about russia about 15 mins ago. She also found time to congratulate italy's new far right leader yesterday. Strangly nothing about the economy

 

[andysays]

Can't wait to see what the reaction will be to the real one then

 

[maomao]

it does, yeah

That won't happen. They've already imploded.

[JimW]

Reminiscent of a previous mini outing

 

[Calamity1971]

Get a tweet out Mary. Say something about Ukraine like Johnson. FFS.

Yep. The fallout of them losing a vote on what would be a de facto say on Truss’s entire strategy/premiership is way to much of a risk for them to take, surely?

But then again they’re all clearly fucking insane, so god knows.

 

[two sheds]

but if they pass it, that will mean the tory MPs are all for tanking the economy.

delicious, innit?

 

[quiet guy]

I think Truss is following the script of The New Statesman, Series 3, Episode 2 - The Party's Over
Tank everything, lose at the next election, slink back to the banckbenches and blame everything on Labour.

 

[brogdale]

 

[Hollis]

I see BoJo is 6:1 to be next Tory leader - back by Christmas?

 

[Bingoman]

I see BoJo is 6:1 to be next Tory leader - back by Christmas?

Can we see that happening

 

[Storm Fox]

I see BoJo is 6:1 to be next Tory leader - back by Christmas?

But Bojo is electoral kryptonite, and that is the main reason the tories defenestrated him. I'm not saying he won't be back, but it's not going to improve their lot.

 

[Raheem]

Can we see that happening

Yes indeed. It has to be judged quite likely there will be another leadership contest in the near future. If Johnson decides to stand, he will surely be the favourite to win.

 

[maomao]

Does he fancy being leader of the opposition?
