Well, it's 14 more days now. <pedant alert>.

vera99 · 17/10/2022 16:42

It's looking like she has one hell of a brass neck.

Thanks @vera99

vera99 · 17/10/2022 16:48

This is frankly becoming bizarre - the cognitive dissonance required to keep all these screeching handbrake turns in your head is mindblowing.

That's for the Kate McCann clarity Grin

girlmom21 · 17/10/2022 16:49

Thanks even...

Thanks Vera.

Rachel Reeves speaking the truth.
Truss looking vacant.

The fact she rocked up smiling like a dork whilst Mordaunt took all the flack is yet another illustration of why she is hopelessly unsuited to this role.
Leaders, real leaders, show up and sometimes have to take a beating. Sending out an underling is not the action of a true leader.
Awful.

"Liz Truss is literally not able to speak. She just sits there, there was a chance for her to rise. She sat in stunned silence. It's as if they've told her she's not to speak."
Jess Phillips MP

And now she's left without saying a word - time for the doctors to come and take her away.

Labour leads by 36%.

Largest lead for ANY party with ANY polling company since October 1997.
Westminster VI (16 Oct.):
Labour 56% (+3)
Conservative 20% (-4)
Lib Dems 11% (-2)
Green 5% (+2)
SNP 4% (–)
Reform UK 2% (–)
Other 1% (-2)

Permit me to introduce your next Prime Minister. He is the stupidest of my 4 cats but can definitely be trusted to do a better job than anyone proposed by the Tory party.
Will Liz Truss really last only 17 more days?

The really depressing thing is, if nos 10 and 11 Downing Street had been vacant for the past five weeks, with treasury officials and civil servants holding the fort, and Larry sleeping in Lizzie's chair, the country and its finances would be in a far better state than it is right now. And that's mind-boggling.

Awful.

She really didn't look right. All that blinking, blank stare, fixed smile/grimace. Sneaking in and sneaking out again without saying a single word. All quite odd.

Colderthanever · 17/10/2022 17:07

Did she leave again?

im so agog at what’s happening, I cannot fathom why she’d not say a word, just sit there lightly smiling. It’s so so bad.

they need to get her out and fast. She’s totally out of her depth.

Croque · 17/10/2022 17:07

I would say 'lobotomized'. However... 😀

vera99 · 17/10/2022 17:07

The most successful part of Liz Truss's premiership was the national mourning period.

This whole thing is just so weird...

Colderthanever · 17/10/2022 17:08

I honestly think she’s totally out of her depth now and can’t deal with it. It’s quite unbelievable what’s happening.

Theskyisfullofbirds · 17/10/2022 17:09

Yes she did. As did Mordaunt at the same time.

vera99 · 17/10/2022 17:10

This isn't real is it? We are having some mass hallucinations probably has something to do with the water they have screwed up.

So she just turned up, stared blankly into space for 20 mins and then got up and left, saying nothing? WTAF 😮

Croque · 17/10/2022 17:13

The lettuce is still looking edible.

Redrry · 17/10/2022 17:14

I'm staggered

Celarra · 17/10/2022 17:15

She is about to go isn't she....either resign or be sacked....just watching news reports.

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 17/10/2022 17:17

So Morduant dais she was too busy then she turned up...then left???
