Liz Truss’s time is up

[marty21]

Was planning on watching the Press Conference , but my boss rang , we spoke for a few minutes about some stuff - and by the time the call ended - it was all over ffs

 

[ice-is-forming]

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 saw that

 

[Lord Camomile]

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

Or the... nope, there's just too many punchlines to choose from

Top tip. Watch the live feed of Sky News on youtube, you can wind back a good half hour (or hour?) if you want to watch it in full.

I am watching that, you can go back 12 hours!

 

[cupid_stunt]

How long was it?

About 10 minutes in total.

 

[Bingoman]

How long was it?

Sounds like it was less then the press conference

 

[Pickman's model]

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!

could yet be a year of three prime ministers

 

[cupid_stunt]

Liz Truss only took four questions from the media during her very short press conference.

Sky News’ Beth Rigby says journalists are shocked, with one MP having told her that “even by her standards that was really bad”. LINK

On the £/$ chart you can see the inflection point (14.39) when the dealers realised she wasn't going.

Nice. An entire Chancellor ago!

 

[Lord Camomile]

The next cabinet meeting.

 

[Wilf]

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

*See previous posts for the quality of my guesses.

Of course the only issue is the 'soundings' will be from people who largely voted for her. It might take a wee while for them to admit that they've fucked up themselves.

fucking shammer would be holding on to the bus rather than pushing it over

Hopefully there'll be four, then they could make a nice film about it. Four Prime Ministers and a Royal Funeral.

Four Prime Ministers and a Royal Funeral.

still time for another royal funeral

It's relentless positivity and optimism like this that keeps me coming back here.

Even the people who voted for her have decided already that it was a mistake, according to this yougov poll in the times.

"Forty-eight per cent of Conservative supporters said the party had made the wrong choice of leader, against 28 per cent who said it made the right choice..' etc.

 

[Lord Camomile]

BBC bod just suggested there's rumours about Sunak stepping in.

How would the Tory members who voted for Truss over him feel about that?

I mean, frankly, how are they feeling about their choice anyway?!

Let’s round it up to 10 pms and 10 royal funerals

Unleash your dreams. It can be done

Frankly, i hope that they're so shocked that they require an ambulance that doesn't turn up.

The uk is a dumpster fire that never goes out

 

[cupid_stunt]

Sky's Beth Rigby is saying she's already getting messages from Tory MPs saying the press conference was worst than they expected.

Not sure why, it was just about what i was expecting.

 

[Bingoman]

The 30 year Bonds yields is up to 4.5% following her speech

True, though I was thinking of tory chairs of constituency parties, senior councillors and the like who they tend to get the mythical 'soundings' from. You are right though, she's fucking up according to just about everyone. Actually, no, correct that, Everyone.

 

[maomao]

So Cunt is basically Prime Minister now right? He certainly holds more power than Truss.

That's not the people who voted for her.

tbh I would think the very last people most tory MPs will be asking about this will be the people who voted for her.
