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

My MP is a Whip...he was probably involved!

My MP is a Tory and he won’t care but I’m actually quite angry and it’s better than nothing 🤷‍♀️

God knows what will happen tomorrow!

Unfortunately Putin will be enjoying this chaos.
He will think his plan is working and it will give him encouragement to carry on.

There will be a film about this in 50+ years time.
”The government implosion of the 2020’s” - based on a true story - A depiction of the tumultuous time of BJ and LT and how their decisions and leadership lead to mass emigration as many fled the British isles to seek refuge in Rwanda.

Watching the 10 o clock news as if it's a soap opera. It's just unbelievable. Absolute scenes. How the fuck did we end up here?

Thanks @minimalwaterdamagee

There are so many 'wow' moments where does one start?

MadameMinimes · 19/10/2022 22:36

I just thought I’d have a look at the current poll projections. This is totally crazy. I can only assume that the Tory party will do anything they can to delay an election as long as possible whilst trying to get Truss out and install a unity candidate to avoid a formal leadership contest. They aren’t going to want to fight a general election any time soon. Even if they’ve given up hope of winning the next election they need to delay because it would be an unprecedented electoral disaster for them if they have to fight an election any time soon.

If parliament ever really looked like the projection below it would be a political crisis. The second largest party in parliament would be one that only represents Scottish constituencies and there would be a huge constitutional question mark over who could lay claim to the role of leader of the opposition. They have to get a grip on this and quick or their party may totally implode.

This. It feels as though absolutely anything could happen. Jacob Rees Mogg throwing punches. Liz breaking into song on the Today programme. King Charles declaring Suella is the love of his life and he’s installing her as PM.

tapdancingmum · 19/10/2022 22:43

My MP is a cunt so don't think he'll listen to anything I have to say 🤣

OddBoots · 19/10/2022 20:52

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

She deserves it tbh for the public service she has done killing the Tories for good and the pure lolz 🍿

Topseyt123 · 19/10/2022 22:58

The whole spectacle is so undignified and just beggars belief. Fascinating to watch though.

We absolutely need a general election. Urgently.

What happens when the results of that are in is a bridge we will have to cross when we get to it.

OhSunnyMorning · 19/10/2022 23:00

Not sure what all the fuss about Bravermans comment it. She called a spade a spade with regards the arseholes blocking our roads.

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!

I mean that’s surely straightforward at this point. You vote for the human rights lawyer who has a grasp of basic maths….

OhSunnyMorning · 19/10/2022 23:05

There is nothing even remotely close to a party that I can vote for.

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.

I second that. Larry definitely has more honour and scruples than that shit~show of a Tory government.
They aren't worthy of cleaning out Larry's litter~box, and would make probably make a shambles of that.

Beebumble2 · 19/10/2022 23:10

I have suspended reality! I’m abroad ATM, so it’s like looking in at a fictional scenario!
Please bring on a GE as soon as possible! What a load of clowns.

incognitopurple · 19/10/2022 20:55

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

They won't call a GE, if they did, it would be disastrous for the Tories.

Oh don't bloody bother then. Luckily the opinion polls suggest most people can see quite clearly what needs to happen.

Who else is enjoying the Tory shitshow?

Me! I’m not British and I don’t live in the UK and it’s fun watching from a distance.

I can’t believe you lot are so passive, though. It’s extraordinary.

Dick and Dom have called
for a general election on Twitter. It’s serious folks

😂😂😂

Charlize43 · 19/10/2022 23:21

Yesterday, on the tube I heard a woman telling a man that he was a misogynist because he suggested that the Tories should get rid of Liz Truss as she is 'bloody useless'.

I think she might still be around for a while.

What do you mean 'passive' - there are teaspoons clattering into saucers from Lands End to John O'Groats!

Thought I was watching a spoof. Crazy!

ManAboutTown · 19/10/2022 23:27

@Charlize43 - the increase in women Mps over the last couple of decades has proved one thing - women can be a shit at this stuff as men.

Tories - Liz Truss, Priti Patel, Theresa May, Nadine Dorries, Louise Mensch, Maria Miller

Labour - Dawn Butler, Claudia Webbe, Fiona Onasanya, Emily Thornberry, Diane Abbott, Laura Pidcock

Lib Dem - Layla Moran, Jo Swinson

I could start on the men but there isn't really enough space on the site LOL

TheSausageKingofChicago · 19/10/2022 23:30

Isn’t it time for the opposition to be going hard on what they would do?
