Will Liz Truss resign today? Part 2: PMQs

[sunnydaytoday0]

Well she's staggered on to PMQs today. Get the popcorn ready.

My mum : they are taking the piss out of us

We need an election.

This has really made me laugh

Beth Rigby says she's standing down.

She may not be going willingly - Sir GB may have received enough letters to give her a shove.

Can she call an election all by herself or what?

Waiting for her statement, I'll say she won't be quitting. Because I'm notoriously bad at making predictions about this sort of thing.

Duration of Tory leadership race: 54 days

Liz Truss days in office: 44 days

Blimey.. when you look at it like that it’s even worse. Has any other PM in history left or been booted out so soon??

If this isn’t a resignation speech she’s whipped everyone up into a frenzy anticipating it, which can’t make things better. So maybe she is going.

@hoxtonbabe Nope. Well, not yet...depends who replaces Liz.

This is incredible

Will the lettuce be a better pm than the next one?

And who is the next pm? That's the big question.

Are we getting a coronation of a new leader or another leadership contest?

If its the former, who and how and boy have they been on manoeuvres. Also will Hunt stay as Chancellor...

Ooo husband with her.

She's going.
Husband next to her!

Rob is doing a Stirling job with the filling...

The interim arrangements scare me.

What can you say in a speech you've only done 44 days?!

And she's gone.

Fucking hell.

Leadership election within a week?!??!

Hate to say I told You So!

Leadership election in a week. They've learned their lesson on that at least.

They have to go to a. General Election surely

Leadership contest to conclude within the week. That means MPs only. Not membership.

@hesbeingabitofadick

Wow.. if I was her I would literally pack up and move to Columbia ( although I think it’s unfair to Columbia) never to show my face again

This is completely farcical.

I always cry on these occasions. I don't care who it is.
