@Viviennemary I saw your thread and literally ran to the remote control to turn on BBC One and fell over my slippers, banged my head but nevermind....the TV is ON 🤣

Fingers crossed she'll go!!

I hope you are OK, the last time I fell and banged my head I was in hospital for 4 days with concussion.

How do younger people feel about all this? I've lived with many PMs running the country from Macmillan onwards and this all seems surreal to me. I can't quite get my head round the mess we are in. Are younger people taking this more in their stride, does it seem almost normal?

I'm mid thirties and my main thoughts are
"What now?"
"Oh FFS"
"It can't get much worse.. oh"

ancientgran · 20/10/2022 13:34

She's gone.

LynneBenfield · 20/10/2022 13:35

That bloke heckling her in the background

PeekabooAtTheZoo · 20/10/2022 13:35

No10codswallop · 20/10/2022 13:35

Thanks @ancientgran I feel a bit sore but I'm OK

She's gone!!! Yay! Another leadership election!

OneFrenchEgg · 20/10/2022 13:35

Oh ffs they are joking. Another fucking leadership election.

LynneBenfield · 20/10/2022 13:35

Off you fuck, you vile, useless waste of skin. Fingers crossed you aren’t replaced with someone even more toxic

Show quote history

Much the same then.

Another leadership election but within a week. At least it won't drag on then.

Ontobetterthings · 20/10/2022 13:36

Wow how embarrassing 😳 General election is needed

murasaki · 20/10/2022 13:36

Crikey. She didn't last as long as the rotting lettuce.

miceonabranch · 20/10/2022 13:36

She's gone!!!!!

miceonabranch · 20/10/2022 13:36

OneFrenchEgg · 20/10/2022 13:36

I'm so fucked off. Bunch of useless arseholes and still in power.

puddingandsun · 20/10/2022 13:36

You can tell she hasn't had any sleep and may be had a cry. The eyes are quite puffed up.

somewhereovertherain · 20/10/2022 13:36

even a deluded resignation statement - we need a general election

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 20/10/2022 13:36

Well done to the lettuce. A true victor.

Onceinnever · 20/10/2022 13:37

These absolute bastards. Another leadership race. While everything goes to shit.

OneFrenchEgg · 20/10/2022 13:37

And they will still win the bloody GE in two years because ' labour always ruin the economy'
