Or maybe Tuesday at the latest? Would she really want to face the absolute public humiliation of PMQs on Wednesday?

Penny Mordaunt is an excellent speaker

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 15:38

I heard that the conservatives may end up with 3 seats !
They could have their conference in spoons next time ! The climb to the loos will do them good

Shock

Can only presume that it must be... though I can't really see how it could get much worse tbh. Awaiting with interest!!

Well, 137 is actually quite a lot really, considering how shit they are and how much most of the population hates them! So we can but hope.

toomuchlaundry · 17/10/2022 15:41

Agree @derxa

Viviennemary · 17/10/2022 15:42

Truss .didn't d teven appear. Pathetic.

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 15:42

My MP will survive the cull
His Teflon

SleeplessInEngland · 17/10/2022 15:43

Mordaunt standing in for Truss - it's not for the public, it's a long-game leadership bid for tory backbenchers.

PerfectlyPreservedQuagaarWarrior · 17/10/2022 15:44

The poll possibly could be Deltapoll? Showing a 32% lead for Labour.

Penny Mordaunt is actually a good speaker - at business Qs the other day she did a great job. Commanding, a bit self-deprecating, clear. Not like certain people.

Mind you, I don't remember Truss being quite so inarticulate in the past!!

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 17/10/2022 15:45

Lol at "The lady's not for turning up". Whoever thought of that one must have been pretty happy!!

Well, if by excellent you mean able to spout complete and utter bullshit in an arrogant tone and as if she truly believes it then, yes, she is. I don't know how KS sat there and listened to her basically telling him he had no right to ask an urgent question in the current circumstances. Disgusting and completely tone deaf as to how most people are viewing this. It was utterly sickening.

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 15:46

It's a no show then ?
Or just a shit show ?
Probably getting her hair done for tonight's bash ( via the tax payer )

vera99 · 17/10/2022 15:47

Utter total disgrace - the worse PM in my lifetime and then some. OUT OUT OUT !

L1ttledrummergirl · 17/10/2022 15:47

This is a farce. General election now.

SleeplessInEngland · 17/10/2022 15:48

Mordaunt saying how it took courage for Truss to back down from her fucking awful decision making.

Will this tory psychodrama ever end?

The one being released at 5pm is Redfield & Wilton. Last week they had a Labour lead of 29% so going from the description of someone who has seen it, I suspect it must be quite a bit higher.

Absolutely the Tories love a posh well-coiffed woman but Truss wasn't that.

MarshaBradyo · 17/10/2022 15:50

Maybe she’s out now if she won’t show up. I think it’s untenable so hopefully so

Thanks for clarifying OP. I look forward to it!

I think she'd have showed up if she had any intention of staying. She's writing her resignation speech.

is this Penny's PM pitch?

Yep. Jeremy's audition was this morning, now it's Penny's turn. Not sure who's next?
