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 🙄

It's Social Media's fault is the new "at least the Conservatives know what a woman is". A load of bollocks.🙄

Liz Truss has tanked the economy.
The Conservatives have destroyed the UK and the rights of its citizens over the past 12 years. It's not Labour's fault. It's not SM fault. It's not the Civil Service's fault. It's not the Bank of England's fault. It's not the EU's fault. It's not even Putin's fault.

It's the Tory Party's fault.

They have wrecked the country with their arrogance, incompetence and corruption.

@TooBigForMyBoots 👏

Whose fault is it then?
.. who has been in power for 12 years ?
Who signed off a fiscal event that anyone could see was a dud ?
Hmm .. not hard is it ?
Unless your a conservative and blame everyone else ! It's just something they excel at!

The party of personal responsibility, innit.

I mean, this always cracks me up.

The Tories bang on about "personal responsibility" when it comes to having low wages or lack of life opportunities, but when it comes to them, personally, taking responsibility... Whooosh!

The Greased Piglet is only the most egregious. The Tory party is chocker with slippery public school twerps who think consequences are for the little people.

(With honourable exceptions, I should add – who only serve to highlight their colleagues' inadequacy.)

The party's big on personal responsibility all right... but only for the plebs.

You can’t make it up - people blaming SM!

Ignore reckless actions of them sacking the top treasury official, making unfunded tax cuts, no OBR report etc. It’s someone else’s fault.

A big boy dun it and run away.

I don’t feel sorry for her at all, I feel sorry for the people of this country who are suffering and will continue to suffer at her hands. She was put in place specifically because she is seemingly hard of thinking and easy to manipulate by those who want to destroy our current systems totally so that they can bring in their own ideological new world order. There’s some suggestion that she will now remain in place as a public facing puppet leader whilst Jeremy Hunt is in fact the de facto PM pulling her strings to implement a milder and, the Conservatives hope, more palatable version of these policies. If Truss had an ounce of character or decency she would resign but that of course will not happen.

There’s nothing at all entertaining about the dire situation the country finds itself in now.

There was definitely a coronation yesterday of Mr Jeremy Hunt.
He is going to put the new PM back in the fridge and start charming people with his new fiscal policies and selling austerity 2 as the way to go. He made a start today
' trust in me '!
He must be cock a hoop.

To quote an earlier post of yours @Hepwo
very little of your rant is true. Is this how you expect anything to be managed, in this histrionic belittling manner?
🤣🤣🤣

They have wrecked the country with their arrogance, incompetence and corruption.

What exactly is "wrecked"?

I've just heard Mr Hunt on the radio
' we will all need to make sacrifices'
It is depressing that after all those years of austerity, nothing much has changed really

The economy.
The NHS.
Women's rights.
Everyone's rights.
Policing and Justice.
Faith in UK democracy.
Faith in the UK as a stable, reliable country to do business with.

I'm sure there's lots more.

I normally hate the loathsome Guido Fawkes right-wing 'website' but this analogy is spot on and I'm a fully paid-up member of the Hysterical Coalition. Almost looks like Hunt has been imposed on her and he is now effective PM in all but name.

SUPREME LEADERS, COMMON WOES

Putin is a great aid to Liz Truss – she blames him for the price of gas, interest rate hikes and the cause of many of her woes. Then again, it was by following his example that her woes have multiplied beyond endurance.

She launched a special operation to reconquer the ancestral homelands of her party.

She calculated she would be welcomed as a liberator and that she would restore the ancient values. The resistance has been overwhelming.

She found her troops were ill-equipped, their weapons old-fashioned, poorly maintained and liable to blow up in their faces. She was attacked from all sides and driven back from the positions she had initially held. Now she is surrendering men, materials, and authority and is in danger of abandoning the whole project.

There is one option left for them both. But it’s unthinkable.

There's three quarters of a million people running the NHS, are telling us they are all "wrecked"?

@Hepwo what happy world are you living in that you cannot see how bad things are? How big a Tory fan are you that you cannot or will not see how much of it is down to the choices made by this government?

They chose the minibudget.
They chose to lock down late during the start of covid.
They chose to not update pandemic preparations.
They chose not to windfall tax the energy companies and borrow instead,
They chose to gut council funding.
They chose to cut support fro the most vulnerable people in the UK.
They chose the worst of all Brexits,

After 12 years they own it. All of it.

How do people feel about a Labour administration?

I listened to some of Starmer's speech this morning, it quite impressed me. Or perhaps that's just with a lack of viable alternatives atm. He seemed to have the btl brigade and the second homes market in his sights - about time someone did. I really feel uncomfortable with many aspects of Labour though. Still too many lunatic wagons hitched to it.

Nice rant @Hepwo

How is the UK economy doing compared to the rest of the G7 or EU @Hepwo?

@Hepwo Did you miss the Conservative leadership campaign where the candidates tried to outdo each other by arguing that the government for the last 12 years has been awful and we need change?

@jennakong have you seen who is a member of the cabinet at the moment?

@jennakong if you're still worried about Labour's lunatic wagons, you haven't been paying attention. Let's face it, the Tories' lunatic wagons are actually running the country right now.

Mutiny?

I'd do it. Just saying 🚶

The rest of us have to capitulate to this behaviour despite in public life as it's so relentless if the propagators don't get their own way.

Can someone translate that sentence for me?
