Will Liz Truss resign today?

[sunnydaytoday0]

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

Yes, they will stagger on now
I doubt she's going anywhere

They aren't promoting Self ID. Baverman has clarified that schools don't have to support self id either. Labour will push through Self ID unless women make it clear that it will cost them votes. Hell she's finally telling the police to you know...act on crime, not arrest women for hurting men's feelings. As long as they block Self Id they are doing a lot for women. It's literally they only thing I can think of that they are doing right. Stonewall has infiltrated government departments and businesses - it needs dealing with. Maybe...maybe the Tories will look at it, but if women just ignore this then Labour will pass it.

@AliceNutter I don't watch the news or follow politics what the hell is going on she's only been prime minister a couple of months?

I just can't wait to see the carnage that is PMQ time. If she dares to attend it.

I feel zero sympathy for Truss. She was the architect of this disaster and was quick enough to get rid of Kwarteng to save her own skin, even though she was as much (more) responsible.

She's a glove puppet now. What she's done to the British people will make her a byword for incompetence and hubris for decades and the sooner the fool goes the better.

She'll be fine
She will take some tips from Penny
Mention the war
Say about her courage in sacking people
Be backed up by her friends
I bet they spin themselves out of it

Just in time for Halloween 😈

I don't think she'll be able to face it. Either she'll invent some spurious excuse genuine reason, or she will resign before Wednesday lunchtime.

IPSOS polling

A lot of slides

Slides 39 and 40 perhaps most pertinent

Why was she sitting there smirking? What an awful person, after all the people's lives she's affected to be sitting there smirking like it's a game or something 😢 people are going to die because of what they've done and the forthcoming cutbacks 🤬

Was Kamikwasi in the chamber today?

Laughing can be a sign of hysteria or madness too . Maybe it really is all too much
Either this or she doesn't care anymore
It is but a game

@Riceyyyy Where have you been to miss it all for the past few days?

There can't be a vote of no confidence within the first 12 months. She can resign or they can change the rules.

We’re not all stupid, you know.

Truss was with Sir Graham Brady earlier

Brady back from his trip to Greece!
I bet he is a bit fed you too

I think she'll resign tomorrow.

Urgent visit to Kyiv on Wednesday anyone? She really is going to need to avoid PMQs.

(Looking at today's footage I felt compassion for her, as for any other obviously distressed person. Then I remembered she's a Tory prime minister).

'Who in the fuck are the 20%?!'

Bankers, hedge fund managers, Russian oligarchs, retired Sue and Melvin from number 28 who think they're upper middle class?

Those IPSOS charts are just incredible!

I do too. I can’t imagine her doing PMQs, and not turning up would be nuts even by today’s standards.

We really do need a GE though, even the most ardent Tories must be questioning the competence of their current rabble, whether or not Truss remains in office.

A third of the current MPs voted for her and her agenda. They are dangerously, dangerously stupid and there’s a lot on the line…

Thank you. How on earth can they come back from that?

I think she'll go tomorrow as well. Her position isn't tenable and it is clearly making her unwell. She needs to go ASAP.

It seems that, despite other differences, most agree that she should go.

I’ll be so disappointed if she’s doing PMQs, it’s not healthy at this point
