Will Liz Truss really last only 17 more days?

[Uninspiredusername]

Newspaper reports as scathing as ever, and The Times suggesting Tories are lining up Sunak and Mordaunt as a duo.

can’t stand the woman but surely she’ll hold on for a bit longer - everyone was saying Boris would go much earlier than he did. And why on earth did they vote her into power in the first place 🙄

According to a comment I've just seen in the Times the Daily Star do actually have a Liz vs Lettuce tracker to see which lasts longer.

Feels surreal to have more confidence in the lettuce to win.

😂Truss may lead a unicorn into the commons today as gasps from the benches turn into cheers and her Chuckie visage breaks into a wide grin and with a jabbing finger exclaims "SEE". Would have seemed impossible a couple of years ago but now?

I hope Ed Miliband has the infamous 'chaos with Ed Miliband' Cameron tweet mounted and framed on his office wall.

I read this initially as Nadine Dorres was the 'unity candidate' to replace Kwarteng 😱

😂😂😂

But did you SEE the way he ate that bacon sandwich. It was monstrous 😁

MINDBLEACH TRIGGER WARNING
Truss says no hard feeling 'Kwas' and maybe one last one for the road....

We need an election. Those Tories need to go away for a decade. Purge themselves of the idiots that inflicted brexit on us and find a way to repair the damage.

My preference is that they dissipate into a smaller number of unelectable cliques.

Anyone reckon she'd make Matt Hancock chancellor?

Something making me lol is knowing that Harry Cole, political editor/Tory stenographer with The Sun, has his book 'Out of the Blue: The inside story of Liz Truss and her astonishing rise to power' coming out in Dec. She may well have vamoosed by then.

Hee hee.

Yes, had a chuckle at that. Couldn't have happened to a nicer client journalist.

Vera99 Ha, pro-enlightenment Goya would definitely be a member of anti-growth coalition. ERG munching May is more like it.

The "Call an immediate general election to end the chaos of the current government" petition is near reaching 600,000 signatures and is going to be debated in 3 days (17th October). I'm sitting watching the counter go up. right now.

Can't wait to have a large glass of wine and watch as they do fuck all about it, like most petitions

'It’s like reading a really unrealistic novel.'

I think the series of events (so far) would be deemed too farcical to feature in an episode of 'Yes, Prime Minister', as people would say that could never happen!!

This is funny. As if BoJo, Truss, Nigel have been trustworthy. Even Cameron cared more about being PM than its future. Rishi has its flaws but not as bad as Truss. Even if he left the UK in the future, he would have done a better job than the 'trustworthy' Truss.

The reason we want a country leader to show loyalty is becaue we want them to have country's interest at heart and take decisions accordingly.

None of these politicians listed above have shown that they care about the country, they cared about making their friends' rich at the time of pandameic, sunking the pound to benefit their city friends at the time of cost of living crisis in the country, what are we worried Sunak would have done by retaining his Green Card?

Boris was untrustworthy too. He kept his US passport for tax reasons, IRS had to chase him up for this.

I'm one of those who were excluded from covid support. On a zero hours contract which allowed me to try to start a small business.
My business had to close and the contract hours were stopped.

I received no support.

Dh spent some time on furlough with 80% salary so during that year we were 50% of our usual income. We are still catching up on fuel bills, council tax etc as I prioritised food and mortgage to keep us all alive and housed. We were looking to be back to where we were before covid by the end of this year, but fuel has doubled and mortgage rates have shot up- no chance of getting a fixed rate due to being behind on bills.

I am fucking raging at the shit situation we have been put in again. We had light at the end of the tunnel which seems to have disappeared so yeah, thanks tories.

He's gone according to BBC

Kwasi Kwarteng has been sacked - breaking news

He came back from America early didn't he. She's going to u-turn on the mini budget now.

Why are people asking ' why did they vote her through to the top 2' .

Do you not get it yet? the Tory party are a corrupt cabal using this countries economy as a personal cash machine.

Truss was a patsy, someone who would make these outrageous decisions so the rich hedgefund managers that keep Truss , Kwarteng and her mates on the pay roll can get even richer by betting against sterling .

They do not care about the population of the UK, and it is infuriating to see people still supporting a bunch of corrupt criminals.

I really wish I was being overdramatic here, but I'm really not.

I approve.

Has he definitely gone ?
I've only heard about a u turn so far

Pre-Brexit we had 3 Chancellors in 19 years. Post-Brexit 6 in 6 (and counting).

Doesn't paint a good picture of brexit.

I wish Liz Truss was following him
If he gets into revenge mode he might cause a bit of a stir though !
Politicians are ruthless
