I hope so. Who else is enjoying the Tory shitshow?

I'd enjoy it more if it wasn't going to end up with me paying more as a consequence.

CormoranStrike · 19/10/2022 20:40

Loving the shit show (shame about the chaos for the country) but tonight has been epic.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 19/10/2022 20:41

Both entertaining and worrying.

These dicks are running the country.

LadyWithLapdog · 19/10/2022 20:43

@Evianoff IKWYM I’d much rather not have to worry about mortgage going up or having to wear hat & socks indoors as trying to save on heating.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy calling Steve Baker a cunt has amused me though. Apparently not broadcast live but it's all over Twitter.

LadyWithLapdog · 19/10/2022 20:43

So glad to see the back of Braverman, odious politics.

Heard about the ‘cunt’ quip 😂

At a guess I’d say she’s been told she can’t resign until they’ve lined up a replacement that everyone will get behind. Problem is who - no one wants a poisoned chalice.

OddBoots · 19/10/2022 20:46

What a mess. Are these really the best of the Conservatives we have in power? How can they justify not calling an election if this is all they have?

LJMNorfolk · 19/10/2022 20:47

LadyWithLapdog same. £600 a month EXTRA on our mortgage coming our way. That was the quote earlier on in the week, think it's increased from last night.

LadyWithLapdog · 19/10/2022 20:49

She needs to go. Just sacking KK is not enough. She’s failed her probation. Time to go. I don’t know who they can replace her with. Larry the cat would have more dignity, decency and grasp of economics.

Have you seen the BBC's interview with Tory MP Charles Walker? He's furious!

Yes - very powerful stuff

JennyForeigner · 19/10/2022 20:51

Anyone seen the Walker interview? Properly staggering stuff.

They need to go stat.

STAT

And not come back for 20 years.

LadyWithLapdog · 19/10/2022 20:52

@LJMNorfolk our mortgage is fixed for another year. I’m in charge of the thermostat and allowing only one hour in the morning to get up and dressed and off to school and work. It’s not how I imagined I’d be living.

Crazy to think that even if she goes now she will be paid £112,000 per year for life, just for having been PM.

itispersonal · 19/10/2022 20:53

Not a Tory fan but I find this awful and embarrassing to our country! I'm aboard at the moment and don't want to have to admit I'm English!

Tories have got to call an general election if they get rid of Truss, they voted her in not us and it's not worked! (Though I do think there is something bigger going off)

Time for a GE. Though who the F* do you vote for then!

PuppyMonkey · 19/10/2022 20:53

The cunt thing is every bit as funny as you imagine - just saw the clip on Twitter. Everyone hailing Krishnan a National Hero.Grin

loulouljh · 19/10/2022 20:54

What an utter shambles. If not tomorrow then by the end of the weekend. If I were her I would be hot footing it to Chequers and drinking the cellar dry!

Really? She should carry on the cock up a bit longer.

PorkPieAndAPickledOnion · 19/10/2022 20:54

I’ll be surprised if the Conservative Party survives, to be honest, looki g at everything that’s happened today.

But it’s all worth it for Krishnan. I’ve always been a bit in love with him, but now he is my hero.

ArcaneWireless · 19/10/2022 20:54

will she be gone by tomorrow?

Who knows?

My will to live probably will be though.

incognitopurple · 19/10/2022 20:55

How soon could an election take place if they call one this week?

paintitallover · 19/10/2022 20:56

God above. What an evening!

LadyWithLapdog · 19/10/2022 20:57

I’d be happy to see the Tory party disintegrated. There must be another party as there must always be an opposition, being accountable to your electorate is not enough/doesn’t happen. But the Tories of the past 20 years have been more toxic by the day. Good riddance if they go.
