[Pickman's model]

This is off the bullshit scale.

wtf is that signature?

 

[Tanya1982]

Errm from his letter he was sacked wasn't he? From her letter he resigned.

Invited to resign, same difference.

I'm surprised Jeremy Cunt agreed. Presumably he's driven her into the dirt, grovelling and pleading. I suppose it'll be back to that 'in office but not in power' cliche that Tory PM's of late have all ended up being described with.

 

[Tanya1982]

wtf is that signature?

That's the signature of someone who's had £3,000 of alcohol with their lunch.

It looks as if she's addressed the letter to someone called Krruvi, but whatever.

The Times’ Steven Swinford is also reporting that Chris Philp is out as the chief secretary to the Treasury.

Philp has been replaced by Ed Argar, Swinford says

spitfire, your balloon is required.

Chris Philip is being given the important new job of tracking down the Daily Stars lettuce and eating it before Truss is removed.

Is that Kamikwazi letter real then? Or perhaps the tories do what scientology did (does?) get people to write their resignation letters as soon as they take up a job so there are no inconveniences. Even they though don't have them to/from themselves.

It's real, unless someone has hacked the No. 10 twitter account.

Press conference is expected at 2.30pm, I hope it's not just a statement, but a proper press conference with questions from the media pack, for maximum entertainment.

What is that letter wtf is it even supposed to be it’s worse than the ‘unfortunately my child can’t do PE today because there is something wrong with her socks’ letters I used to forge with a pretend version my mums signature on.

Yep. It's perfect.

I thought it was chaos when Major was fighting off his bastards - I thought it was chaos when Dave fell on his sword after Brexit - I thought it was Chaos when plotters removed May - but Truss is going full Hold my beer on all of them.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Can one sack oneself?

Certainly feels like we've seen it in spirit, if not procedure.

Multiple times, recently, tbh.

The first question should be what she had to promise Jeremy Hunt to get him to agree to take the job, because it can only have been that way round. She's PM in name only.

Local media, though...

I think Hunt is the price she thinks she's paid to stay. She'll be gone by next Friday.

They could make a film about these dramatic events, The Hunt for Red October.

Well, see, he really likes the wallpaper in No. 10, so they're going to shift the living arrangements around.

Purely about personal interior design preference, though, their roles absolutely remain what it says on their letterheads

It's hard to sign things when you're crying, to be fair.

 

[belboid]

He gets a smol one then.

Put it away again, he’s just been moved sideways (into Tony Benn’s old job)

You think they’ll get rid of her now ? Why wouldn’t they (whoever in the party has some power left) just let her sit there pointlessly as a shit-magnet for now whilst they tell her what to do.

Such thoughts are probably based in part on this sort of news that was coming out earlier:

A group of senior Conservatives have decided to call publicly on Liz Truss to resign following her sacking of Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor.

The party grandees held their discussions and made their decision to act after reports emerged the prime minister was planning to sack her chancellor, which has since been confirmed.

The senior Tories are planning to speak out next week.

One figure involved in the discussions told BBC Newsnight: “These are serious people. The PM will find it hard to survive.”

Truss confirms new tax U-turn and insists she will stay as PM

The PM says she is "determined to see through" her economic plans, despite dropping her policy to scrap a rise in corporation tax.

It’s really time for our Liz to deliver, now she’s performance managed out the bad apples. Great leadership.

Yes, today was all about placating the markets before the BoE gilt buying cliff-edge came about by clearing out the extremists from the Treasury and, as the busted empty figurehead, her removal can wait until they've finished the factional horse-trading.

Kind of feels like it doesn’t matter either way if it’s her or someone else sitting on the decomposing horse, it’s not like it’s going to get well.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Blimey, she's resigned!



Only joking.

Yes, I had seen that.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Yes that’s because it’s a letter and you sign letters.

 

[steveo87]

What's the Yorkshire/Paisley/Norwich version of "Yous lot are fuckin' snakes, yeno!"?

Cos I reckon that will be the overall content of this press conference.

No, these were her choices; they have to get rid.

Yes she really is a 7D Chess master

BASTARD!
