Will Liz Truss resign today? Part 2: PMQs

[sunnydaytoday0]

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

Tbf to her, that's a hell of a pension in exchange for dragging your own reputation through the mud and a few days work. Not so stupid after all.

Jesus. When is Brady going into rehab for his alcoholism?

deserves a cabinet post at the very least

Democracy in action lol.

Whatever about Tory MPs electing a Leader, being in a position to select as many Prime Ministers as they want to without a mandate from the electorate is not right. IMV of course.

I like how we have news today of some Russian missile or other having a near miss last week. Is this to prepare us for Ben Wallace? I have as much knowledge as the next political journo, it’s all up for grabs, speculation.

It’s really driving home the lesson your vote is for a party not a personality isn’t it?

Hunt not standing for PM,

Yes and wasn’t Russian jets seen flying over Alaska and had to be escorted out?
Or did I misread that?

Very worrying. Putin knows the UK is asleep at the wheel.

Hunt not standing for leadership.

who will be next though?

Sunak, Mordaunt, Braverman - who else will stand? How many on the right wing/ERG? I counted about 50 on an old list.

Wow Liz Truss what an achievement. The shortest serving PM in living history. The circus continues now for the Conservative party. Wth is the next PM I have no clue. Not Penny Mordaunt I pray.

You are safe on that - Tory MPs won't back her

It's Sunak's if he wants it. Most popular with members after Johnson and most popular with his own MPs. And, y'know, he was right about not lowering taxes.

Can't believe we're doing this all over again.

Did the lettuce outlive her?

Penny was very good on Monday or whenever that was
Anyway, we need a GE
We are being held hostage now as a country
So angry

I think Mordaunt will get it.

Easily. 🤣

We could have avoided all this chaos if Sunak had have got the job.
FFS don’t let the Tory members have a say

So are we "Ready for Rishi" now?

Some sad Tory droning on in the Chamber trying to get at Bryant for taking a photo of the bullying. Your leader's just resigned ffs!

Enough now. They have shown they can’t form a stable government and Truss has tanked the economy, they don’t have a mandate to impose another leader on us. This tramples over democracy and we need a general election now.

All will calm down now during the interregnum. I don't know who we will end up with, but if it is someone with brains, emotional intelligence, and honesty I think they will limp on. Any suggestions as to who has these qualities? LOL

I'd rather a GE but that's not going to happen at least until the constituency boundary changes come in I'd say, and that is May 2023 AFAIK. Gerrymandering and minimising seat loss you see.

That'll cheer up Crispin Blunt, the mate of that convicted paedophile MP he got into bother over.

Fucking hell, some journalists are hearing that the party still wants members to vote on this. No confirmation yet though.
