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 🙄

This was one of the big arguments against Brexit all along: EU membership acted as a smallish but important counterweight to some of the social and economic damage the Tories can and will wreak on the country over the next decades with their disaster capitalism (thanks to first past the post) while allowing millions of Brits an “out” to France, Spain etc if things get too bad. Oh well.

Farage on twitter saying we need 'a realignment'.

I guess brexit didn't solve everything.

Yes, I'm as shocked as you are.

Yeah I was told brexit was supposed the fix everything. I thought all the problems we had was due to the EU government and Angela Merkel. Surely it’s not the case where our own government is just terrible?

"Since 2008, this country's potential has been held back by persistently weak growth."

Brave thing to say when your party's been in power for almost all of that time.

Someone please tell her to stop saying "Putin's appalling war in Ukraine". God I can't bear to watch her.

This is why I will never forgive brexiters. They have destroyed the future of ours and their own children. But such a huge decision should’ve never been left to a population as stupid as ours.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 14:36

She is deluded beyond belief.
The new chancellor will be fine
She said that about the old one just gone

MrsSkylerWhite · 14/10/2022 14:36

She’s claiming that Hunt shares “her vision” for this country.

utter bollocks!

CapMarvel · 14/10/2022 14:37

Christ she is fucking useless. I never thought a PM could be less convincing delivering speeches than boris, and yet here we are.

SleeplessInEngland · 14/10/2022 14:37

"spending will grow less than previously planned."

Translation: Austerity 2.0

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 14:38

Deliver again
She is programmed to just say all the same old things. Does anyone buy it?
O

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 14:38

Austerity mark 2
Yep. Not that it'll affect her

MrsSkylerWhite · 14/10/2022 14:36

She’s claiming that Hunt shares “her vision” for this country.

utter bollocks!

She said the same to Kwasi in her acceptance letter. She doesn't really have a way with words.

yep!

she’s going to ensure “economic stability” after she and KK jointly trashed our economy . WTAF?

Maggiethecat · 14/10/2022 14:40

Will someone just drag her off??

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 14:40

She really is useless isn't she ?

FlossMeg · 14/10/2022 14:40

I worked in local government. I’m not sure how much more austerity Council’s can cope with.

I am aghast at what has happened since 2009.

SleeplessInEngland · 14/10/2022 14:40

Predictably, no apology. This was a situation that happened to her, not something she created.

MrsSkylerWhite · 14/10/2022 14:40

“What I’ve done today is made sure we have economic stability in this country”

Jesus H Christ the woman is truly deluded.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 14:41

Deliver is her favorite word of the day
It's a shame we can't deliver her that p 45 she deserves

BalsamicOnEverything · 14/10/2022 14:41

She can’t answer a question!

girlmom21 · 14/10/2022 14:41

MrsSkylerWhite · 14/10/2022 14:40

“What I’ve done today is made sure we have economic stability in this country”

Jesus H Christ the woman is truly deluded.

So what was she doing a month ago?

IndigoC · 14/10/2022 14:41

This is painful to listen to.

toomuchlaundry · 14/10/2022 14:41

Is that it!

FourTeaFallOut · 14/10/2022 14:41

Haven't rtft, what's the significance of 17 days or is it just a Halloween curse?

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 14:41

She walked out quickly there
Hopefully out of a job
