Will Liz Truss really last only 17 more days?

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 🙄

See New Thread on chances of Kwazi Kwarteng reigning at PM's press conference at 3.00pm.

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.

@the80sweregreat Yes, he has gone - watching on bbc2 now, they have just said it has not been confirmed if he was sacked or it was a mutual decision.

Liz's to do list

Friday - u turn on corporation tax.
Possibly sack Kwasi if I can find a mug to replace him.
Thinking about it, The "in Liz we Truss" ones are on sale.

Saturday
Cling on regardless. To anything and anyone.

Sunday
The TV politics programmes.
I will get my willing supporters Jacob Rees Mogg to go and tell everyone how marvellous it is.
I really don't understand why everyone else is unwell. Not everyone has covid again.

Monday
I seem to be going to see the King again.

Tuesday
I seem to have a clear day.

Quoting my own post.

Starting to tick things off nicely.

Is there such a thing as "collective cabinet responsibility"?

Surely Truss knew of and approved Kwarteng's policies for the interim budget thinggy? If true, it is very sinister that she sacks him for following policies that she approved of and nodded through, but fails to acknowledge her own responsibility in all this as PM.

Am I missing something fundamental here, or did KamiKwasi go off on a solo run?

Someone's just carried a cardboard box into number 10. Ready for packing maybe?

My mum is going to be Tory Prime Minister between 3pm and 5pm on 12th January 2023. She’s had to move her Tesco delivery slot.

No, it was her ideology 100% and what she promised members.

But why resign when you can fire the person below you and buy a few more weeks?

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 12:39

She backed him up originally didnt she?
Surely the party must see that the electorate won't tolerate all this uncertainty every five minutes !

Madcats · 14/10/2022 12:39

BBC reckons Kwarteng has gone.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 12:40

That will all have a go at it at this rate.
Who will be the new chancellor?

Lonelycrab · 14/10/2022 12:41

Speculation in the Graun that Hunt will replace KamiKwasi

The execrable piece of filth Dan Wooton opines. 'Globalists' are often coded words for 'Jews' though he would strenuously deny it. But a dog whistle it is.

Dan Wootton
Liz Truss is not in control.
The Fishy Rishi wets are in control.
The blob and globalists are in control.
The MSM is in control.
This was always consequence of deposing a democratically elected and widely popular PM in Boris - because the Westminster elite demanded it.

Missed this YouGov poll from yesterday. Even if, over the next two years, the tories gain 10 points and Lab lose 10 points (which seems unlikely given the perception of tories as bad on the economy is now entrenched), Lab still easily wins.

Westminster voting intention:

LAB: 51% (-1)
CON: 23% (+1)
LDEM: 9% (-)
GRN: 7% (+1)

11 - 12 Oct

Dan Wootton is a cunt. Call me a snob, but I prefer not to listen to the dog whistle screechings from the former showbiz editor of the News of the World.

Larry tweeted;
"Liz Truss has just asked me to become Chancellor. I told her to clean up her own mess"

He'll be fine! 😀

There won't be a GE .
They will do everything to avoid it

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 12:52

I hope those new MPs in the old red wall really are worried now.
They should be.
