Suella Braverman. Is she always like that or is she unwell?

[newnamethanks]

Dear Lord above, I've seen people removed and banned from pubs for less. She's the Home Secretary. What have we come to?

I'm with you on this, FiveMins. Guaranteed food and shelter for all of us more important right now.

The government now is what tories said it’d be like if corbyn won, just ten times worse. It’s so shambolic, on a daily basis, it’s become almost incomprehensible.

Bet the Dakly Fail and Express are still supporting them.

Dan Hodges (Mail on Sunday) just tweeted...

"This is a Government that is functioning well," Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Business Secretary, told the PA news agency tonight.

"The Government won the vote with a majority of 90"

LATEST The Government chief whip and her deputy might not have resigned, MPs say. The letters are written but have not been delivered. #LizTrussPM

I'm pretty sure bounding through thd lobby shouting "I've resigned", usually means you've resigned.

I'll never apologise for repeatedly posting this.

If my bosses pulled a stunt like that I'd resign. What can backbenchers do to force the issue, mass resignations? Defections? Surely we're at that sort of stage after this evening.

the decent people in the Tory Party

There's the flaw in your plan. They all fucked off in 2019 after the right-wing lunatics took over the asylum

I wonder who the Minister will be doing the media rounds tomorrow?

Shapps? Mogg?

The Lettuce is going to beat Truss.

Chunt will be doing the media rounds…. Nothing to see here, oh no.

Was it ever in doubt?

Whoever picks the car keys out of the bowl.

Shapps should send Michael Green.

A group or PPSs (ministerial aides) who supported Rishi Sunak in the leadership contest are said to be contemplating resigning en-masse unless the PM quits.

However given the level of disharmony, this could just be being whipped up by anti-Sunak MPs to stiffen sinews.

Dominic Penna AT DominicPenna
Senior Tory MP: "I personally think she has to go TONIGHT. I've never seen anything like that in my life.

"My understanding is a shedload of letters have gone in today. After tonight, you're going to see absolute chaos. The next 24 hours are going to be hell for Liz."

It's beyond anything salvageable for the tories now, surely.

Rees Mogg is delusional to a fucking alarming extent.

‘British politics on Wednesday 19th October, 2022.’

Could the lettuce do the media round?

(((Dan Hodges))) AT DPJHodges
Told talks are taking place amongst senior Tory MPs about mechanism for the Prime Minister’s removal.

This was what I heard earlier from a former cabinet minister and this was before the chief whip and deputy chief whip resigned

Robert Peston AT Peston
Am told chief whip Wendy Morton quit because no one told her Downing Street had decided fracking vote was no longer a fracking vote. Her authority was undermined. But government sources say this was "heat of the moment" and they hope she has "unresigned". Gawd

Utter silence from the bots tonight.

I hope they all resign.

Any Tory who wants any chance of having any credibility as a Tory from this day onwards needs to stand up and be counted.

Sadly for Braverman I don't think her being sacked but pretending to walk will save her after her last few speeches.

However I'm thrilled about that. Her FB is no longer a celebration of her. The mood locally has changed.

The electoral calculator now has her losing her seat at the next GE. A Tory seat that has been held for decades.

The markets reacted badly to the commitment to subsidies heating bills for a year, on top of our huge debts. The mini budget was strange but the government are in a no win situation now.
They don't have media support and you can't really do well without it.
