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

Hmm, time to dock salaries for jobs not done.

Will Liz Truss resign today?

Liz Truss isn't in Parliament to answer Keir Starmer's urgent question as she's dealing with an urgent matter - really hope she's not messing something else up. Simon Clarke and Therese Coffey are looking very glum - not much nodding or jeering going on.

I reckon the only reason she's staying is for the extra pay, as it'll be the last well paid job she'll have.

Was May Johnson Truss was terrible but I'm sure [insert name of next tory leader] will be great.

Penny confirms Truss is not hiding under a desk

Presumably neither individual on the current frontbench behind Penny would survive a new PM

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 15:59

Mordaunt is defending her.
Unbelievable isn't it ? If this was a Labour leader not showing up there would be blood on the walls

God almighty her arrogance is breath-taking. If she does become PM can't see her winning over any hearts and minds. Blaming KS for the shitshow her party has unleashed without a hint of an apology is an utterly hideous look.

I thought the trend was for hiding in fridges.

Ladies you will need to get your penises ready for Ms Mordant - as apparently we can have them!

Booklover3 · 17/10/2022 16:03

She’s gone awol… she’s apparently depressed…. Probably eating all the cheese and meat.

but probably not as depressed as the rest of the public.

Well, on the plus side, I guess Mordant as PM would stop people from voting Tory because they know what a woman is....as if the Tories have actually ever given a shit about women anyway.

I'm sure a nice bit of pork will cheer her up.

Mordaunt saying "the PM is not hiding under a desk".

Cheeky. She knew exactly how that would land. With friends like tory colleagues who needs enemies...

That kind of arrogance will no doubt play well to the Tory gallery, though, and that's her key audience here. It doesn't matter a jot what the rest of us think.

boys3 · 17/10/2022 16:08

Well said Jess Phillips

sunnydaytoday0 · 17/10/2022 16:10

I'm intrigued by Mordaunt solemnly referring to an "important" and "very genuine" reason the PM hasn't attended..

Has she been hospitalised or something??

My MP will survive the cull
His Teflon

Bet he’s not.

IndigoC · 17/10/2022 16:10

There’s speculation Truss has fled to the Ukraine to put in a Boris like propaganda appearance. If so, wow.

Kellie45 · 17/10/2022 16:11

Endlesssummer2022 · 17/10/2022 08:58

Did you watch Starmer’s speech in Barnsley yesterday? He set out exactly what Labour plan to do. I’m getting tired of people accusing Labour of having no policies etc when they can’t be bothered to even do a quick Google search.

Yeah Liz Truss laid out exactly what she was going to do too - and it didn’t work!

SleeplessInEngland · 17/10/2022 16:11

Watching Mordaunt, there's something so distateful about the way tory polticians seem to hate each other and sincerely believe chaos is a ladder. If only they could just fuck off to the private sector.

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 16:11

Jess phillips , I was on a train this morning.. lucky to get one!!
She is funny

derxa · 17/10/2022 16:11

I'm beginning to think that Liz Truss is ill.

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 16:12

Penny just likes sneering at people
Especially the opposition.

SleeplessInEngland · 17/10/2022 16:12

Someone on twitter just (half) joked that Truss is on her way to Ukraine right now.

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 16:12

Derxa , she probably is to be fair
