Liz Truss’s time is up

[hitmouse]

Oh ok, all the publicity says to go to Piccadilly Gardens so I was going to do that.

Me too.

Fwiw, it sounds like Don't Pay are meeting up at 11:30 at Piccadilly Station before heading down, so you could go to Piccadilly Station, say hello to the RMT pickets, then have a very short walk down to the gardens?

She’s done well to top her first day in the office, killing the countries monarch

After meeting truss and being told she was the new pm the queen died laughing

Yeh it's what she'll do to millions of other pensioners that worries me

Perhaps HMQ knew that Truss’s premiership would be the biggest car crash since Paris 1997

That yougov poll has a significant percentage of lifelong tories saying they will vote Labour. I don't think they will and I don't think they even mean they will when they answered the poll like that. Still... 54%

By the by, Labour could do with getting a major voter registration push to make sure they can actually get those votes.

Yea its just sending a message, no way they would actually live by their words, they're tories ffs

Excellent, might do that. Trouble is I'm at hunt sabs gig in Barnsley tomorrow, then have to get over to Rochdale and up to get into Manchester for this (with a side order of getting to the FC United game at 3.00 on Saturday). Ah, the life of a leftist cultural Marxist snowflake!

I still think theyll get back in though

Dont think that Sturgeon is that daft

 

[Smangus]

My bad days at the office have never entailed tanking the economy through putting an economic illiterate in charge of the soon to be eighteenth largest economy in the world

You obviously lack ambition.

I would like to see a new reality TV show in which all the authors of Britannia unchained have to work in a variety of workplaces. I'd be particularly interested in how they'd fare in a library environment but they might start off in the events industry, arranging workplace parties in breweries and distilleries. I think it has the potential to be both entertaining and illuminating

If it wasn't a total safeguarding nightmare I'd love to see them do an early shift in a care home on minimum wage. Pad changes and showers all round (and that's just the staff...)

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Truss is clearly not backtracking on her &Kwarteng's ludicrous tax cut mini budget maximum carnage, so am I right in thinking that the mini-budget goes to a vote in the commons?

If so that's a defacto VOC in her, coming just a few short months after only 1/3 of her own party put her forward for leader. There's going to be a fair few looking at these polls and getting twitchy - a 70something majority is huge, but is it enough? So, either she loses and (surely) resigns before the day is out, or wins and the Great British Binfire carries on with the entire Tory party inextricably linked to this flaming refuse.

It's hilarious and absolutely fucking terrifying all at the same time.

Apparently any vote on the mini budget doesn't need to happen til early next year, by which time it will have changed substatially whatever they're saying today

Not just votes in the Commons, but the Lords too, should be plenty of trouble ahead.

Ta. Is that because the majority of measures were announced well in advance, as a "come into effect April 23" kind of thing?

 

[killer b]

yeah i guess so

Now is the time to invest your money in deckchairs and popcorn futures.

Except the deckchairs you're renting out are on the deck of the Titanic

I've got the concession on those in Worthing.

Sadly not worth anything now

 

[two sheds]

So nothing has actually changed yet and it's still had these huge effects?

 

[frogwoman]

As I said on fb, this movie can't decide whether it wants to be a horror or a comedy and fails dismally at both. The flash forward scene where the lead actress is talking about pork markets is the most entertaining thing in a dire performance that goes on way too long

 

[frogwoman]

What were the screenwriters thinking having her say cringe-worthy 'terrible PM' lines like 'I'll hit the ground', that plot twist was obvious af. The tired old trope of 'incompetent Tory politicians unleash economic chaos' has been dragged over 4 sequels at this point but the franchise keep on trying to wring more and more from it

There's no way it will get as far as a vote anyway (in its current form), because it would be voted down and then Truss would be in a position to punish her MPs by calling a general election (which she may or may not, but it's a real risk, because she will have to threaten it) They will get rid of her before allowing that to happen.

You've got 'The lovely sea breeze' , and now you want the deckchairs and the fucking popcorn. Greedy capitalist bastard.
