but how much worse could it get?

Just been confirmed on BBC news that Jeremy hunt not standing as leader

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?

DS1 is doing A-level politics, it's certainly giving them plenty to talk about!

Oh my god, Jeremy Hunt could be!

BBC say he won't be running.

SirChenjins · 20/10/2022 13:48

We're getting the Cunt, aren't we?

Give us a GE, fgs - this is an absolute clusterfuck of a shitshow.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/10/2022 13:48

why isnt jeremy hunt standing
?

blusteryshowersaway · 20/10/2022 13:48

Glad I am not the only one to have clocked her smug, smirking face. She's a fucking goat and I'm glad she's gone. What an utter shit snow.

A small segment of the population gave us this truly abysmal PM after her predecessor had to be pushed out of office, now she's had to be shunted out of office after just over a month, and now the Tories expect to inflict another loser on the nation.

This is a poor imitation of democracy.

Well said …it’s fucking shocking !

longwayoff · 20/10/2022 13:49

Quitter. They dont learn do they? Now they want to impose another grifter chosen by themselves. Honestly, they need collectively certifying unfit to proceed. All of them.

Because he wants a go when the country isn't on fire?

(Official reason is that he's rung twice and lost twice and so no longer has the ambition.)

justwondering123456 · 20/10/2022 13:50

What happens now?

I hope it won't be Suella Braverman... She hates immigrants like myself and will probably set up "labour camps" for us.

He has said he's not standing.

But yes I wish we could have a general election

#GeneralElection

WickedStepmomNOT · 20/10/2022 13:50

As soon as you hear the 'fighter not quitter' being said, you can start the countdown - and so it has proven correct once again.

MarshaBradyo · 20/10/2022 13:50

Tg for that. And no drawn out leadership race

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/10/2022 13:50

yes, indeed, the country is on fire, so who would want to take charge of this lot

Quveas · 20/10/2022 13:51

Whatever happens, we really need some stability now. I'm 65 and finding it harder to remember all their names....

happyinherts · 20/10/2022 13:51

She hasn't exactly lost much, has she? Liz Truss entitled to £115K per year from taxpayer for the rest of her life
Seems a good deal for one so unable. What a world!

Braverman was full on Truss though before she ditched the plans so to go back there would just be the same issue

You’d think that it would follow who did well last time - Sunak etc who knows though

Bye then, useless idiot.

Love it. So succinct and true.

Knowing the tories it will be Bring Back Boris Better now or some shit

StapFooterin · 20/10/2022 13:52

Does it really matter which one of them is in charge? They are all arseholes.

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

Show quote history

Early 30’s and I agree, it’s just a mess and keeps getting worse!

puddingandsun · 20/10/2022 13:53

Apparently Jeremy Hunt has ruled himself out.

Voerendaal · 20/10/2022 13:53

I don’t trust Jeremy Hunt. I just worry he will wait in the wings for the right moment. He is awful

WahineToa · 20/10/2022 13:53

Oh this is hilarious. The Tories are clueless. If Blair managed to stay after lying to the nation over the war, how the f do they go through so many leaders? I mean Jfc
