General election now. The Tories have had enough chances.

Oh my god the lettuce won

mellongoose · 20/10/2022 14:05

The men in grey suits removed her. Not really how democracy works in my mind.

DoubleDinnurs · 20/10/2022 14:07

I think the decaying lettuce would do a better job. Lettuce for PM!!

Liz will be on I'm a Celeb next year most likely.

DoubleDinnurs · 20/10/2022 14:09

Yup we do need a GE but the economy is a sack of shite whoever is in charge. A GE won't change much, but it would get us moving in the right direction. Shame there is a quagmire on to get through on the way though.

We are screwed whatever.

CaptainThe95thRifles · 20/10/2022 14:10

The Prime Minister has fallen. Long live the lettuce!

Surely the conservative party can't go through another leadership contest without an election now?!

It might stop us having a government that's actively trying to make the economy worse.

Which, under normal circumstances, would seem to be a pretty low bar...

whiteroseredrose · 20/10/2022 14:12

I'm poorly. Can someone explain the lettuce reference??

Elderemo · 20/10/2022 14:14

@whiteroseredrose there was a live stream of a lettuce slowly decaying and a picture of Truss. Truss went before the lettuce decayed!

Kellie45 · 20/10/2022 14:15

Liz tried to give us a low tax, high growth, small state economy which took advantage of Brexit. It wasn’t well handled the way she went about it but I believe the intentions were good. I’m sad it didn’t work out but I think she had no alternative but to resign. Policies trashed by the Blob. Now we’re gonna have nothing but stagnation. Never mind things could be worse. Like Starmer & co

I’d quite like Charles Walker “I’m fed up of talentless people..,, patience, gone” what a star!

Ben Wallace.

on another point, how come Sky get all the news quicker than the BBC? I got a message saying the queen was dead before the bbc announced it and that liz truss had resigned before she had even walked out the door.

Is that you Liz Or another secret tory many of us think it will be better I mean a low tax small state mean that we have shit police after twelve years and nothing put in society to help it. I think the future looks brighter with starmer I think the polls show that many do to

Nah I don’t buy for a second things would be worse under labour. This ‘oh but Jeremy corbyn’ malarky is classic tori distraction. Granted starmer is bit of a house plant but a GE might start to restore foreign confidence in the UK

Ben Wallace seems to have an issue with gays though voted against same sex marriage I think we need a general election.

Keir Stammer seems to have an issue with women though, so neither option is great.

Who are her advisors? This is such a shit show. Fuck off Tories. Are there any left? Would a coalition work for a while?
