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 🙄

It might just be a fluke of when I have the radio/TV on but I only seem to be hearing labour commentary from Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves and Ed Milliband. Have they locked Keir Starmer in a cupboard?

I don't think I've heard him say anything since their conference.

Jeremy Hunt is the new Chancellor, per R4.“

I think they’re playing it just right. They need do nothing more atm than stand back and watch the stories destroy themselves. No assistance required.

Jeremy Hunt? The TV and radio announcers are going to have to go on another course to make sure they say his name correctly 🤣

She keeps putting her press conference off it has been put back to 2.30pm maybe no one wants the chancellor job

This was like Boris with his covid updates. They're probably reminding her how to read the long words.

Truss has responded to Kwateng's acceptance letter with her own letter that says "I deeply respect the decision you have taken today."

What deranged people these are.

She's wandering around Westminster begging for a volunteer...just like getting help with the school fair.

Surely someone else in the Tory party is up for making themselves and their friends millions of pounds by betting against the country's economy? I'm not having that KK is the only one who is corrupt to the core.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 13:51

I doubt she has a friend left in Westminster
Maybe Coffey ?

I deeply respect your decision to bail out before the shit really hits the fan. Thank you for being my fall guy.

This is an utter embarrassing shit show. I say bring back Boris.....Becker. He might do a better job.

Boris Becker is currently at His Majesty's Pleasues in Wandsworth (I think) for defaulting on a loan then lying about his assets to pay it off.

So, sounds about right for the job, tbh Grin

Yes, Boris Becker, even in the clink, would be the better Boris.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 13:55

I hope he is plotting some revenge.
She is trying to save her bacon , clearly

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 13:56

Jeremy Hunt it is then.

stopringingme · 14/10/2022 13:56

Jeremy Hunt new chancellor

SleeplessInEngland · 14/10/2022 13:57

Interestingly Hunt spent the summer saying corporation taxes should be slashed. Guess he conveniently doesn't believe that anymore.

She can go now for all I care. Get a job as a delivery driver then she can deliver, deliver & deliver, and be spectacular at U turns

PMSL!

The wit of some posters here is brilliant.

TheHouseonHauntedHill · 14/10/2022 13:58

As an aside I don't know why or how Beth rigby got such a gig?

She's miserable! A doom maker and after her constant gunning for Boris as though she is far superior she seemed genuinely gutted when he went?

Wasn't she suspended for a while?

That's what I was wondering, did KK come up with the Bonkers Budget all by himself or is he the fall guy in something bigger?

If it really was 'we're going to trash the economy and make a fortune shorting stocks because we knew in advance' type shenanigans, then 1. words fail me and 2. they should be in jail, literally.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 13:59

Deliver her own P45 maybe?
Give us all a break

TheHouseonHauntedHill · 14/10/2022 13:59

Jeremy Hunt?

Any experience in economics??

NutbushShittyLimits · 14/10/2022 13:59

Oh FFS, now we have to put up with the weasel Jeremy *unt .

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 14:00

Beth rigby broke the lockdown rules too

Yeah she attended a lockdown party. I hoped they'd get rid of her permanently.

JH is such a horrible person
He looks like a back stabber

And promptly signed the letter she wrote to him..... from him.

"Doom maker"? Is that what we call 'confronting reality' these days?

Poor widdle boris.

Katyaadlerscoat · 14/10/2022 14:03

Jeremy fucking Hunt? I suppose as he's already said he won't stand as leader again he's not as worried as some others about ruining his chances there. I'd love to know who turned it down.
