She’s fucking laughing!

Bizarre! Probably realises it's a huge weight off her shoulders, admittedly of her own doing

If it's a week, it'll be 51days (max) I guess.

Who would have thought that Charles would be King and on his 2nd PM at the beginning of September?

That puts it into perspective, doesn’t it? I mean, lots of comparisons to be made. Including the lettuce.

the80sweregreat · 20/10/2022 13:39

She isn't all there I think
Probably all the stress

the80sweregreat · 20/10/2022 13:39

No Shame , just I wanted this and they said no
Because it was bonkers

MumofHorace · 20/10/2022 13:39

Dear God, not Suella.

please God, not Suella

The lettuce won.

Congratulations lettuce!

Dreamwhisper · 20/10/2022 13:40

How dare they announce yet another farcical leadership election. Morally the only right thing to do is to call a general election. I literally can't stand another stretch of stress and chaos while these headless chickens desperately try and affix the one bloody remaining beak to some other idiot.

EdieLedwell · 20/10/2022 13:40

How on Earth can the Tories go on?

Will King Charles see as many Prime Minsters as the Queen did?

In 12 months you mean 😂

Barney60 · 20/10/2022 13:40

Truss has resigned.

walkingonsunshinekat · 20/10/2022 13:40

Need to call a GE as the new PM wont last either, more turmoil, at least a new legitimate Govt would give us that.

There is supposed to be a new fiscal statement end of the month?

Lord Liddington said on R4 he is being asked by international diplomats whether the UK is political stable and businesses cancelling investment decisions.

Haffiana · 20/10/2022 13:40

That lettuce would have done a better job of being PM.

Depends if they decide to each take a turn...like the new co-host of Pointless.
🤦‍♀️

Did anyone put money on her going today???

I believe it’s tradition for the leader of the 1922 to tell a PM it’s time for them to bugger off with a whiskey. She’s probably pissed.

Not sure about first line but let’s face it it must have been immense. And a relief

Bekindnotarsey · 20/10/2022 13:42

TRUSS GONE

Maybe we should elect it for PM?

CaveMum · 20/10/2022 13:38

Point on the language - is it a Leadership Election to “start” or to conclude” within a week?

“To be completed” within a week.

Couldn’t do any worse. 😂

Based on 44 days it would take 616 days to get to number 15.

I thought she would limp on. I give her credit for quitting sooner rather than later.

Exactly my thoughts!

It wasn't very clear. Will we have a new PM next week, or will they just start the leadership race next week?

SleeplessInEngland · 20/10/2022 13:44

I'm glad she mentioned the 'freedoms of brexit' in her speech. Anything that further ties brexit to this shitshow is a good thing.

SafeMove · 20/10/2022 13:44

Great.

Tobias Ellwood less than hour ago talked about 2 russian aircraft shadowing an RAF plane and releasing a missile in the vicinity at the end of Sept. He said we have to be prepared for the possibility that Putin will release a low grade nuclear weapon or attacking a domestic nuclear power station. And our PM resigns and we have the 5th zombie government whilst the Tories sort their infighting, ego driven, power grabbing chaotic shit out?

We should be rioting in the streets. This is abhorrent.
