Liz Truss’s time is up

[Sasaferrato]

That's also his letter, though, according to the name at the bottom. So he wrote to himself to accept his decision to sack himself.

Can one sack oneself?

I suppose that resigning is technically sacking one's self.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Did she just mispronounce Peston’s name?

Pissed on?

 

[Apathy]

Hilarious tbf

pissed-on?

 

[ice-is-forming]

Nope, it's in the briefing room.

I just caught the end of it, I was watching a live stream of the front of number 10, people are yelling & it's raining. I was waiting. expecting Liz to step out the door and start talking. omg what am I like

 

[hash tag]

painful to watch.

Yes

 

[Bingoman]

Sam Coates on Sky News not impressed

 

[hash tag]

I can't help feeling the knives are being sharpened

No one will impressed, including the Tory MPs.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Wow, I've never seen anyone appear so...weak. Let's hope she's gone by the end of the day.

I know I'm as politically ignorant as... well, our current prime minister, and the Tories are as brazen as... well, our current prime minister, but if that happened, surely the Tories would have to call an election at that point?

Surely...?

 

[Wilf]

Cunt is now in a difficult position. Is he forced to pay lip service to her nonsense or does draw a line and go back to usual nasty tory shit? Tricky positioning.

Anyway, I think she's gone after tory MPs get their 'soundings' over the weekend.

That is the one thing they will avoid doing

 

[Tanya1982]

It was a very uncomfortable watch. All she's done today is stitched up one of her best friends - and for three fifths of fuck all.

 

[belboid]

It’s pointed out that Hunt wanted corporation tax to be cut to 15%

Each to their own I suppose

 

[ice-is-forming]

Seriously, that's both terrifying & hilarious from where I'm standing. What's going to happen next!

And now former lovers

It's wonderful, isn't it.

There's no requirement for them to do so, and with their majority, and the polling, not a chance.

It makes no sense at all, even on its own terms, 'Today I took a bold decisive action to sack the person who carried out my plan for me, the plan that i have been going on about for months, any questions".

That's my guess as well.* The Star's lettuce is going to win.

*See previous posts for the quality of my guesses.

Tory's gonna Tory.

One of the purest distillations of their guiding principles that's made it into the real world.

 

[ice-is-forming]

It's a bit like watching games of thrones..without the swords.

 

[Tanya1982]

Well I wouldn't hold that against her. Former lovers are for throwing to the lions if need be - that's why they're former. Friends are different.

 

[skyscraper101]

Worst press conrerence ever.

Loved Krishnan Guru Murphy at the end shouting 'aren't you even going to apologise?' as she made for the door, and then visibly shaking his head on camera. She can't even pronounce 'Peston' - what was it "Pest-ON"?. What a fucking shambles.

I can't even ...

 

[cupid_stunt]

Worst press conrerence ever.

Not for long, just until her next one.

Aye, I know, I know...

It's just mildly mind-boggling to try and consider how they attempt to keep going in any meaningful way. Even if they don't care about credibility or whatever, it would still just be excruciating for them.

Christ, four chancellors in a year, and there's still two months left!
