Well she might not have gone today but she cannot recover from this. I am no fan of Liz, but whatever happened to collective responsibility? The Tory MPs and party members voted for Truss and wanted Kwartengs fiscal plans over Sunak. And they are now being hung out to dry.
We do not have a presidential system in this country. The PM is the manager, but the Party is responsible and it was the Party MPs that were elected by us. .....
Yet the most recent leadership campaign was run like a presidential hustings with novel competing and televised policies that bore no resemblance to the original election mandate they were given.
It is rotten politics, and the very personal pile-on on Truss simply amplifies that. There's a whiff of misogyny too, considering ' good old philandering lying Boris" whose gross misconduct in office really had to became beyond egregious for the knives to come out. Versus Liz whose crimes seem to be being getting chosen, bring shit at speaking and supporting her Chancellor's madcap plans .... with the blessing of the seemingly all powerful party membership. In essence she is toast for sticking to the script.
My point being that worse than whether Truss comes or goes, the party faithful don't seem to be learning anything from this debacle with parading Hunt and Mordaunt as business as usual .They are not prioritising salvaging the standing of politics and this reputation of this country on the global stage. They are just infighting, back stabbing, abd throwing each other off cliffs. Knowing that, regardless, they will not be reelected.
Apart from a vote of no confidence, are there any other constitutional or parliamentary devices to cease the access and activities of a government which is so obviously acting in bad faith? Given how they have asset stripped, pissed away taxpayers money so flagrantly already how do we try and salvage any remaining family silver before a GE?
Its a crime scene. I would be cordoning off Westminster and Whitehall with police tape, SOCOs everywhere, dusting for sticky little fingerprints in pies and snout prints in troughs everywhere.
