Hopefully she is stupid enough to call an election and pisses her 80 seat majority away! :thumbs:

The Express reports today that there could be an October general election.

That's what the headline says, but the story itself is a bit thin on actual substance

The next premier’s options for going to the polls are limited, with strategists insisting it is a “matter of numbers” and there are only four or five options. October 5 is being talked about in political circles as the most likely date as it would allow boundary review changes to be implemented in July. The changes, carried out by independent bodies across the UK’s four nations, could be worth ten seats to the Conservative party. Economic turbulence is expected to continue well into next year as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine wreaks havoc on global energy markets. But delaying an election beyond October means you are “waiting for something good to turn up but it won’t and you have run out of road”, according to a well-connected source.

The Express makes shit up and no new pm with any sense would go for an election with an 80 seat majority and 2 years left to run. (Not to mention that most people will have received the dreaded letter/email from their gas/electric companies by october)

On the other hand it is Truss :D so anythings possible :hmm:

In other Liz Truss related news this morning

The Financial Times reports that surging inflation, the rising cost of government debt and Liz Truss' tax cut and defence spending promises will blow a £60bn hole in the public finances by the middle of the decade. The paper also reports that civil servants are being told to keep carbon paper on standby to reproduce documents in case the country is hit with power cuts.

The Guardian reports that the police chief in charge of boosting crime fighting is criticising Liz Truss' law and order plans, calling them "unwise" and "meaningless". Chief constable Ricahrd Lewis accuses Ms Truss of chasing "soundbite-friendly", but unrealistic, targets, the paper says.

The i paper reports 80% of the public think the government is failing to tackle the energy crisis. The poll by the paper also reveals 53% of people say they will keep their heating turned off even if they are cold. The paper says the Conservatives are divided over tax cuts and demands for state intervention to boost the economy.

Who knows if Truss will even still be PM in October 2023...
 
Andrew Marr says Iain Duncan Smith and John Redwood are tipped for treasury jobs. A Liz Truss government means the return of the radical right Anyone care to predict when the rioting starts?

I'm sure Smith has the intellectual horsepower to formulate economic policy in a recession. He didn't go to university but he only took 6 years in the army to rise to the rank of Lieutenant.

edit: in case any of his constituents are reading this, and are under the impression that he has a degree and a business studies qualification, because that's what he told you, I refer you to Newsnight of 19/12/02 BBC - Press Office - Iain Duncan Smith CV

Seems pretty certain that her cabinet will be even worse than that of the incumbent. Are there any likely paths for Starmer forcing a GE when it all goes tits up?

He went to the University of Perugia.

For an afternoon, with a tour group.

Imagine having the gall to front out being exposed in such a lie-but-linguistically-technically-true episode like that. Most people would be hiding in a cupboard from the humiliation, wondering how to cover their bills due to being fired - not continue to turn up to work, speak on television on behalf of their employer, and generally go around telling others what's what with an air of authority.

Any news of Dorries and Patel if they stay or not?

They're both too fucking stupid not be freshly appreciated all over again for their destructive plans. In any kind of sane universe, Patel would be in prison, while Nad struggled through life as a care in the community case.
