Liz Truss’s time is up

[Karl Masks]

Yes. The first thing she'll try is to take us out of the ECHR.

She'll do everything Patel is doing and use the culture war narrative, ie throwing the marginalised communities under a bus, to do so. Blame the failure of Brexit on trans people or something. She's dim and ideologically driven. Another vacuous black hole like Truss

 

[Supine]

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

BJ will probably send Nads to the house of lords before he exits.

She can still be a minister in ermine.

Who, apart from Sunak, is likely to be sniping from the sidelines?

Plenty of 'em; she's not well liked by the PCP

 

[stavros]

You're right; she was a Johnson loyalist, and we saw how popular he was with his MPs by the end.

Assuming he stays in Parliament, at least until the next GE, it'll be interesting to see if he does anything May-like criticism.

I reckon the 'one-nation' faction will bide their time a bit like the LP right and just wait for electoral disaster to bring them the change of leadership that they want.

It is hard to know what process could have arrived at a less suitable leader.

yeah - you get the sense that the remain/liberal side of the torys want the brextiy/trumpian fever to be scorched out of the party and accept that an electoral kicking is the only way to do it.

If so, Sunak will have tanked his future prospects by desperately following Liz Truss down the rabbit hole of weird fanatical shit. Which is hilarious.

TBF that would be like him running for PM again after spending several years in a monogamous relationship.

Labour have a problem. Starmer is utterly vacuous.Never knowingly on the record on any given issue. An empty suit topped with a haircut three decades too young.

That made me do a picture search. I disagree. It looks exactly like the haircut of a 60-year-old.

[cupid_stunt]

That's the Sunday Mirror's front page, according to their political editor on Sky News, letters of no-confidence in Truss could be going in as early as this coming week, and the plotters are hoping to reach the magic number before Christmas, I guess we can live in hope.

[Pickman's model]

Couldn't she just trip on the way in to number ten and brain herself on the door handle?

At the most critical time of the year, at the most critical time of the NHS' history (even including the height of the pandemic), a person who can't even feign compassion.

OTOH the pressure she'll be under has potential for schadenfreude. Can you imagine her visiting hospitals and being confronted by angry plebs, moaning about their sick kids or some tedious bullshit.

That last sentence is the only glimmer of anything remotely cheering. It's all such a nightmare and it's only going to get worse.

Truss to push ahead with low-tax economy despite calls for caution

Reports that prospective PM is also considering freezing energy bills this winter at a cost of up to £100bn

www.theguardian.com

She isn't even officially in power yet but I hate her already. Is it possible we have the addiction to popularity of Johnson, the stupidity and viciousness of Patel and the understanding of global economics of the slug I evicted from the kitchen this morning, all in the one festering ToryZombie ?

Well, I listened to that, one of the speakers was logical, coherent and appeared to be competent. The other was Patel of course. Sorry for the cheap shot.

Standard meaningless drivel

 

[Louis MacNeice]

Nice bit of trickle down economics; very New Labour. Also always remember that National Insurance has ceiling above which you pay nothing extra no matter how much you earn. If that sounds a bit regressive that's because it is.
