I would say this was a Labour led media witch hunt…..

@Kissingfrogs25 which part in particular is a Labour led witch hunt?

Is that the same Labour who we are told is led by someone who is dull and has no policies?

DuncinToffee · 17/10/2022 14:51

I don’t recognise most of your list!

I don't recognise, now where have we heard that phrase before.........

I’d love to indulge you but I am not contributing to these threads anymore - the myopic negativity isn’t great. Same old posters whinging. No thanks.

"Penny Mordaunt is going to answer the urgent Q this afternoon according to the beeb.

When she does dare to step into HoC she'll look even worse."

Is this a sign that Mordaunt is in the ascendancy I wonder.

If Truss were planning to hang on surely she'd take a bruising afternoon - plenty of PMs have them - and battle on?

Same old posters whinging

Well none of the people with opposing views bother to post any longer, so not surprising it is just us "same old posters".

Which reminds me. I was looking up one of the previous threads and noticed that a certain poster has had a retrospective name change (as in all their old posts are now under another name rather than the name they were originally posted under). Very odd, I didn't know that could be done.

Dull seems be be used against starmer as a derogatory term ?

I crave dull - dull and competent would be fantastic as opposed to drama and chaos

It is fairly normal practice for the PM to allocate UQs to someone else, to be fair.

Fladdermus · 17/10/2022 15:26

She's a coward and she's hiding from the consequences of her decisions.

Notonthestairs · 17/10/2022 15:32

"It is fairly normal practice for the PM to allocate UQs to someone else, to be fair."

Yes, but I think the convention is the question is usually answered by a relevant Minister for example housing questions wouldn't be answered a transport minister.
I think Truss is the most relevant to answer the question.

ClaudineClare · 17/10/2022 15:32

She can't hide forever. UQ on now...

Boris is the only person that has any legitimacy.

There are two words there that don’t belong in the same sentence, Boris and legitimacy.

L1ttledrummergirl · 17/10/2022 15:43

Wtf was that from Mordaunt? The tories are deranged!
They need to get the fuck out now.

Notonthestairs · 17/10/2022 15:46

It's is all they have now. Desperate measures.

ClaudineClare · 17/10/2022 15:49

It is beyond belief. Will Truss not be present for Hunt's statement either?

L1ttledrummergirl · 17/10/2022 15:51

Larry the cat, they think it's funny.

It's not fucking funny, they are playing with lives.

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 15:52

Courage !!
Penny is a nightmare isn't she ?

Notonthestairs · 17/10/2022 15:52

Interesting that Costa felt the need to big up Mordaunt's talents. Manoeuvres.

TokyoSushi · 17/10/2022 15:57

Do you know, it wouldn't massively surprise me if she turned up in Kyiv...

tobee · 17/10/2022 15:59

Poor Zelensky does not deserve to be tainted by her.

Notonthestairs · 17/10/2022 15:59

"Line from the Tory benches is that "economic conditions have worsened." Problem with that line of argument is that global economic conditions have not especially worsened in last weeks, what's worsened is domestic economic outlook, as a result of the govt's previous policy."

Exactly.
Blaming recent international events won't cut it.

HonorHiding · 17/10/2022 15:59

“The lady’s not for turning…up”😄

That ploy didn't work for Johnson and it won't work now - but I agree she'll try it!

AutumnCrow · 17/10/2022 16:02

How can anyone take Penny Mordaunt seriously? She keeps banging on about Liz Truss having made 'difficult personal decisions'. What, sacking her 'friend'?

Ffs.

AutumnCrow · 17/10/2022 16:04

Mordaunt's level of debate, given the seriousness of this debate, is very fifth-form.

Notonthestairs · 17/10/2022 16:04

She's doing an excellent job at undermining Truss.
"She's not under a desk. I don't think there has been a coup." She's writing tomorrows headlines for them.
