Maybe kK will plot revenge?
.. he must feel very let down by her

Kellie45 · 14/10/2022 21:14

What do you expect her to say? They tried a bold economic experiment which backfired partly due to bad presentation. It was actually a chance to get out of the current mess but now we’re in it and we’re all gonna get progressively poorer and when Labour get in we will get poorer still. Feel frustrated as there is a lost opportunity to revive the economy. Might of worked if it had been better handled

I expect her to apologise, admit she got it wrong and resign. Or she would if she had a shred of decency or integrity. Since she hasn't, she won't of course.

Someone is plotting her downfall
I can't see it ending well for any of them

You really think it was going to work if they presented it better? Right...

I know. Unbelievable.

Viviennemary · 14/10/2022 21:21

She still repeats. the same old mantra. Growth prosperity. When she has trashed the economy. Looking more of a complete and utter twit by the day. A total embarrassment.,

Unsurprising. Her parliamentary colleagues didn't want her in the first place and consistently preferred Sunak.

FinallyHere · 14/10/2022 21:30

She was put in power by the disaster capitalists because she was prepared to announce policies which would crash the economy.

It's really not difficult for them to take advantage of markets in free fall l, since they absolutely knew it was coming. Don't expect she has much value left for them, so I don't expect she will be around for much longer.

Who knows what we can expect next.

Remainiac · 14/10/2022 21:30

She was like a deer in the headlights in that presser. The stress must be unbearable. She should put herself out of her misery and resign before Sir Graham comes for her.

Brady is in Greece apparently!
Will he have to come home ?

lannistunut · 14/10/2022 21:42

It was amazing! I have watched it twice because I couldn't believe the shitness the first time. Brady must be sick of this chaos, he's only just finished the last contest.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 21:45

Brady is probably hunting for flights home as we speak!

Flapjacker48 · 14/10/2022 21:46

Does she have no comms/presentation advisors? The black dress she wore - like it was a funeral.

The next budget is on Halloween - the media will have a field day with that.

If you actually knew anything about economics you would know it was a growth package. Sadly presented in the wrong way.

I thought that dress was dark green. Perhaps I'm misremembering.

Flapjacker48 · 14/10/2022 21:52

@Kellie45 Nope, sorry wild borrowing to fund tax cuts and vague shitting on about "supply side reforms" is not a package for growth - hence why they refused to let the OBR assess the mini budget - I would also surmise that the initial work the OBR have started is appalling hence Truss realising her economic policies are doomed.

Rachel Reeves - a former Bank of England economist - doesn’t think it was a growth package. Trickle down economics has been long discredited.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 22:08

Nobody thinks that her plans are any good
People with years of experience and they actually know what they are talking about.
She won't last much longer.
Either this or they will just limp on

Jellykat · 14/10/2022 22:08

I'm dumbfounded by all of it, Truss had form for huge blunders, wtf did the Tories ever vote her in??
Throwing KK under the bus does jack shit.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 22:11

The narrative is becoming more of a living eulogy now on ITV news.
Already Looking back at her short term as PM
I bet Jeremy becomes a caretaker PM.
Not sure about a leadership battle : I doubt anyone wants this !

Romeiswheretheheartis · 14/10/2022 22:16

She said she's put Jeremy Hunt in post because he shares the exact same economic principles as her. Yet has just got rid of Kwasi ........who shared the exact same economic principles as her. You couldn't make it up.

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 22:18

I thought this too!
Why put a new chancellor in who is the same as the old one?
It doesn't add up
I still feel her days are numbered anyway

miceonabranch · 14/10/2022 15:43

She's a bot. They forgot to upgrade her software programme when she became PM 😄

You are being unfair on bots and coincidentally they actually had a real one in the HoC this week who could answer questions in real time. 😂
