Hunt is the man in charge then?

It was obvious the moment she “appointed” him. She’s just doing as she’s told until they get rid of her.

Sunday Times editorial suggesting Truss should go or be removed, Sunak brought in, swift election and let Labour carry the can whilst they assess the damage to the party.

Extraordinary really and not in a good way.

Passing the buck then!!
The conservative way

More Hampshire here. Predicted LibDem 65%, Labour 11%, The others 24%. That will be a Conservative loss. Think my MP resigned to it, he lost a ton of votes in 2019. He's not the worst but he's got to go.

the80sweregreat · 16/10/2022 17:05

I really hope that if the LP get a go at this they are straight with the people :
' we can't fix it ' just tell us the truth
Tell us the numbers
Tell us what's been going on
Explain in plain English what needs to happen
Treat us all like grown ups

Agreed 80s, felt a bit sorry for him.

Exactly what I said a few days ago except I threw Mordaunt into the mix. I really hope they do this. At least we know that the least wealthy would be protected as much as possible by a Labour government.

Notonthestairs · 16/10/2022 17:27

I agree that it will be important that Labour are honest and open about the mess. There won't be any quick fixes.

No wonder he looked like the cat with the cream
Laura K gave him an easy time of it today
The Labour spokesman had an absolute grilling !
I really don't like her at all !

I think she's afraid of the Tory MPs.

Other BBc presenters (especially bbc radio 4) have held the, to account much more recently but then JRM made the accusation about impartiality.

Agree.

Especially because when it isn't a quick fix the Tory's will use that as a way to blame the economy on Labour.

Andrew Bridgen is the next one to call for Truss's resignation according to the Telegraph

Indeed. Jesus, he’s thick.

the80sweregreat · 16/10/2022 18:40

His face when Ed Balls was speaking just now
I feel his just itching to get back into the cabinet.
I hope they say no!

Jamie Wallis, third one to call for Truss stepping down

Matt Hancock is still rooting for her though
All is not lost yet Liz !

Matt and Liz against the world

Tory Laura always does that. She gave Nicola Sturgeon a grilling last week too.

I read 100 letters of NC have been handed in.

The Times now calling for her to go and for the successor (they want Sunak) to call a GE. They say Brexit is the cause of all our woes. Torygraph mentioned the B word in the negative as well. Interesting the media are finally admitting their fuck up. Truss jumped the shark so it's impossible to ignore now

Sorry, I see this has already been posted!

How arrogant of them to assume the Tories will get back in after Labour clears up the mess. I saw an analogy on twitter: the Tories have crashed the car into a ditch so they ask labour to repair it and get it back on the road. Then they ask for the keys back and say they're a better driver now. 🙄🤔

GreenLunchBox · 16/10/2022 19:38

I really hope Labour introduce PR so we never have to suffer with the Tories ever again. I hope the Tories have barely any seats at the GE so the SNP are the official opposition.

the80sweregreat · 16/10/2022 19:38

How many letters do they need ?

L1ttledrummergirl · 16/10/2022 19:41

Liz Truss, Matt cock in hand and Jeremy Cunt. It sounds like the world's worst pornography line up.
How the fuck did they end up running a country?

GreenLunchBox · 16/10/2022 19:43

Sunak is a disgrace so no way do I want him to take over. They should call a GE now. This is all about damage limitation for the bloody Tories, not what is good for the country AGAIN! Fuck the right wing media. Disgrace of a country to let those rags basically decide who is PM time and time again. We should be like (was it Australia?) who told Murdoch to fuck off
