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 doesn't look too bad
I bet that they brazen it out

Winterthoughts · 17/10/2022 16:34

What the hell is she going to do to get out of PMQs in 48 hours?!?!

Oops I caught Covid on Monday?

MomwasCasual · 17/10/2022 16:35

I need to take a photo of her sitting behind Hunt, smiling vacantly. Just to look at when I've cocked up at work.

Has anyone, anywhere, had a worse day in the office than this?

IndigoC · 17/10/2022 16:35

She looks immobile other than rapid blinking.

the80sweregreat · 17/10/2022 16:36

She looks better than she did last Friday.

‘Track my parcel’ nightmare?

DeadButDelicious · 17/10/2022 16:36

She looks absolutely out of it... the lights are on but nobody is home.

Truss turns up smiling and laughing to the chamber. Says it all. Total contempt for parliament and the British people. This is ridiculous.

Fuck, and I was actually starting to feel sorry for her because I thought the woman was having a breakdown after realising how much pain she has inflicted on this country... and she is fucking laughing.

Unbelievable.

Autumnsparkle · 17/10/2022 16:37

The oddest thing!
I thought there must be a genuine reason, and was thinking of a mental breakdown or something similar, which would be no surprise after the pressures of this past week.
But if she just keeps on going after avoiding the difficult questions, that would be ludicrous!

hesbeingabitofadick · 17/10/2022 16:38

She looks very much like she's trying not to fall asleep.

No change then?

What's the betting that there will be another "genuine reason" why she can't do PMQs on Wednesday?

Mordaunt claims that Truss showed courage to rip up her mini budget, but there is no evidence of that courage if she hides from scrutiny. She should have faced Starmer earlier... the country will remember that she did not.

Hunt's certainly sticking the knife in.

And giving it a good twist.

torbygirl · 17/10/2022 16:40

She's making such a mockery of our parliament and of us all. It's appalling. And why does he keep saying 'The Prime Minister and I...' like a patronising lie to make out she has some involvement in his plans. This is just painful to watch and if it was happening with a Labour government we would never, ever hear the end of it.

WatchoRulo · 17/10/2022 16:40

Fucking Hunt is carrying on as if the total shitshow wasn't created by him and his pals - what a fucking cheek.

Well, her on Friday would be a contender.

MomwasCasual · 17/10/2022 16:42

She looks like my 15 year old does, when he knows he's fucked up, he knows he's been out of line, and he knows that he isn't going to get away with it and very soon he is going to have to face up to it.

But for just a few more moments, he is going to sit there with a 'fuck you' smirk on his face

hesbeingabitofadick · 17/10/2022 16:45

She seriously looks drugged up...I wonder if she'd taken sleeping pills and they're taking a while to wear off??

derxa · 17/10/2022 16:45

Rachel Reeves is not easy to listen to.

I could understand that behaviour in an immature 15yo. Not in a PM, who should at least have the decency to pretend that she gives a fuck.

Even Boris managed to muster up a contrite face occasionally, even though we knew that he didn't give a shit. It's the height of disrespect to not even make a show of having a conscience.

I guess that's possible.

What she says is. Music to my ears.

Doodlesday · 17/10/2022 16:47

Does anyone think there has been a secret coup and that is why Truss is not talking?

torbygirl · 17/10/2022 16:47

Not got enough of a plum in her mouth, derxa?
