Family WhatsApp v quiet at the moment.

I watched most of the hustings.
She was terrible then and even worse now

My bloke’s quietly distraught. He voted for Sunak. “I knew it would be bad but not as bad as this. We need an election”. I’ve refrained from asking who he’d vote for.

My Dh is a conservative ( small c)
Even he is getting fed up with them all.
My siblings are still on board with them
You can't win them all.

Brilliant

I was supporting a class this afternoon. Special education infant class so not quite the same politics involved but definitely a huge amount involved in some way shape or form

Does she normally sound like she has a cold? I don't listen to her if I can help it.

I wondered that at PMQs on Wednesday but I see a poster says she does!

She needs a nasal wash

That was me! Yes, always nasal voice!

Pound is down, gilts are up. Markets not impressed with Truss.

And if that carries on come Monday, as is likely, she’ll surely be out the door too…

There’s a suggestion in The Guardian that No 10 is fitted with a revolving door. 😂

If it was a quiz show it would be ' blankety blank '
Along with the cheque book

The most sense I’ve seen in a very long time.

' it's chaos in there '
No change there then !

"As a public servant Mark Carney declines to offer a 'value judgement' on Brexit. He's happy to give a neutral valuation though: “Put it this way, in 2016 the British economy was 90 per cent the size of Germany’s. Now it is less than 70 per cent." Boom."

I’m sorry. This is the biggest yet.

So drink heavily, and let’s begin what seems 1000 years ago, but was actually this week

I agree with the article but I think we are still a long way off politicians accepting it.

I wonder if liz has even unpacked. Don’t think I’d bother…

I’m going to catch up on theweekintory - thanks @DuncinToffee

Probably not even had time to find someone to pay to replace the awful wallpaper the previous tenant put up.

No point unpacking is there ?
Only a few days worth is enough

I think they left bare walls @jgw1. Depressing.

Sniggers

Guy fawkes for November it is then
Apt

That Week in Tory is epic. Deeply depressing.
