Will Liz Truss resign today?

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

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.

Indeed. At least she can still afford cheese and meat. Many, many more people are depressed because they can't.

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

Could be. For all that I dislike the woman and believe that she's brought this mess on herself, the pressure that she is under is really intense and a lot of people would buckle under it.

I know I wouldn't cope... then again, that's one of the many reasons why I have never gone into politics. You have to be very robust. She might have just found the limits of what she can cope with.

If that's the case, then I can only hope for a swift exit for her.

"In terms of the national interest and in order to offer reassurance to the markets, can the Leader of the House confirm the Prime Minister will not be taking any decisions on economic policy in future?" - Starmer

She looked ill when she went into Downing Street this morning. Resignation must be imminent.

So is Penny going to be the next PM?

Metabigot · 17/10/2022 16:16

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??

Maybe she's starting private tutoring for her economics GCSE

Wow. Go Starmer.

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 16:16

She looked Ill on Friday .
Penny probably can't say though

Tanith · 17/10/2022 16:17

It’s just a scam for these people now, isn’t it? Get into office for a few weeks, or even days, then reap the financial benefits.

And they have the nerve to whine about benefit scroungers!

vera99 · 17/10/2022 16:18

Nervous breakdown. KK poisoned the kettle on the way out.

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 16:19

It's getting silly now !
Just tell us why she's missing !
If she is poorly , fair enough

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 17/10/2022 16:19

If she is ill, then fair enough for not turning up...I wish her a speedy recovery once she has stood down from a post that is clearly beyond her abilities.

If she has fucked off to Ukraine at taxpayer's expense, taking a leaf straight out of Boris Johnson's playback, then I think there will quite rightly be public fury at such a cynical attempt to dodge accountability.

tinx · 17/10/2022 16:19

Just now Penny M quote ‘I’ve been told I can not disclose why she’s absent but she maybe present later’ or something to that effect

I think Liz having smear test lol

It wasn't Starmer who said that. It was a woman Labour MP and it was a very funny line.

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.

Don’t you realise the majority of politicians are the same? How naive! 😀

"They're all as bad as each other" the cynical moron's mantra.

torbygirl · 17/10/2022 16:21

The cars leaving Downing Street with the police escort? Could she be resigning?

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 17/10/2022 16:21

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if she is having a nervous breakdown. The amount of pressure that she is under would be enough to tip anyone over the edge, and if that's the case, I genuinely feel sorry for her. However, if that is what is happening, then she quite clearly needs to resign and focus on getting her health issues sorted out.

MomwasCasual · 17/10/2022 16:21

Hinting at Putin threat/ Ukraine issues no doubt.

So distasteful the way Johnson, Truss et al have absolutely no shame in using the war to deflect from their own incompetence.

hesbeingabitofadick · 17/10/2022 16:22

If anyone on here works in Westminster...can you please check the fridge? Grin

sunnydaytoday0 · 17/10/2022 16:24

I think she could already be on her way to see the King.

Off to the Palace?

You will see. We will get Starmer and he and his govermment will stifle every bit of enterprise in thiscountry

What has been stifling enterprise in this country is undoubtedly Brexit. Admittedly it's not an easy task for Starmer to reverse that, but we stand a better chance with him than with any Tory.

Off with her head
