Looking at who the authour is, looks like a hatchet job from the One Nation Tories. Suppose it's only right the pensioners to get a chance to hate Truss too and join the rest of us.

Erm where did I say I enjoyed them? I said WE COPED. If it was, say, 12 hours, then yes it would be bad but 3 hours.

 

Well I was clearly being hyperbolic but the point stands. If you have had first time experience of blackouts, I would assume you would never want anyone to have to go through the same thing ever again. If you throw your hands up and say ‘we’ll I had to put up with it so you lot should too’ then it probably means you were pretty badly affected by them rather than that you coped really well.

I refuse to believe anything else but Truss trying to make the Lib Dems the second-biggest party in the country

 

She's really giving it to the core Tory voters - house owners & older people/pensioners. I wouldn't be surprised if next election the tory party have a vote share of less than 20%...

The woman is an arsehole what the hell is wrong with her!?

i don't think we've ever (as a country) unamiously disliked a prime minister :lol:

 

even BoJo had supporters at the end

Did anyone see Coffey's interview with Kay Burley on Sky News just after 7 yesterday morning? What a car crash. She said over and over again "I am not aware of that" Seems even as Deputy PM she was aware of nothing. :rolleyes: . Does she attend weekly cabinet? Maybe it's on Youtube.

Erm, he still has....many Tory members would have voted for him had he been on the ballot.

Even The King is mocking her :D

Her incompetence aside, it is really quite unprecedented and incredible that just over a month into the job that https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-63240203 is the headline on the BBC. An article about a cabinet toady warning the BBC that 'changing PMs would be disastrous'.

 

She has no grip on power, at all.

It’s year 13 of the tories in power that’s when they all start eating each other alive!

And 10 days of that month were taken up with the death of the Queen.

 

The press are starting to publish these 'Who the next PM - runners and riders' articles that appeared endlessly over the summer. Mordaunt is being talked up again (possibly with Sunak although I doubt he'd feature too much). Of the ultra anti woke far right, think Braverman has counted herself out as too much of a mad maverick but Badenoch remains a distinct possibility sadly.

As for Johnson, I think he's going to be too busy earning millions on the speech circuit. Like Cameron who similarly destroyed the country, he'll personally do very well thank you very much ka-ching.

She really is going to be a footnote in history for ALL the wrong reasons.

Rumours that Kwasi might be sacked as Chancellor today. What a few weeks we’ve had.

Telegraph are saying corporation tax will now, after all this, rise to 25% next year. U-turn is one thing, but to go against the entire ideology that you campaigned on to become leader? She's done.

 

Can't wait to see how someone as barely sentient as Truss spins this during the press conference.

So she is also an "enemy of growth"?

Absolute CHAOS.

KamiKwasi's out.

 

Rumours Truss is even now looking at increasing corporation tax again.

 

The best part is that I genuinely don't see this helping her. She's trashed her reputation at a most crucial time and while many of the more politically aware will know of Kwarteng's role in this (and even they would probably assign blame at least equally), most people will still associate the markets crashing with Truss.

Kwarteng's fate was pretty clear as soon as he was ordered to return from Washington. His successor will be the fourth chancellor this year. What are the chances of there being a fifth by the end of the year?

perfect
