Can't resist another bit of election geekery.

Just imagine if the UK had voted for AV in 2011.

All those second preferences being swapped between Labour and the Lib Dems. The only question would be whether the Tories would win greater or fewer than 10 seats.

Then we could give her a piece of silver for each day which in all fairness she should give to Kwasi.

To be honest I think truss if she’s not talking sometimes comes across like this. She has a very blank, expressionless face a lot of the time. Not sure if that’s unintentional or whether she works hard on it. But I’ve always thought the lights are on but no one’s home.

ooooh catty. I like it!

There’s a few red areas in the SW that are never going red. One will go independent. A couple of others will go Lib Dem before they go labour.

Seem to remember this coming up during the Tiv & Honiton by election.

Truss has just said she will lead Tory party into next General Election.

Interview on BBC News at Ten – I'm curling with embarrassment just watching her...

Oh my days, I literally just watched that through my fingers. It's a shame really, she's completely out of her depth and somebody needs to gently usher her away.

To be fair, she only did exactly what she said she would do. Those who should be truly ashamed are those who voted her in to do it. There’s no getting away from the fact that the Tory Party is stuffed full of idiots. It’s not just Liz Truss who shouldn’t last much longer.

Someone’s taken her battery out. She’s Dalek woman.

It's ok everyone; she's fixed the mistakes🥳

I wonder who will be PM in the morning?

The BBC ended the ten o clock news suggesting you could watch the whole of the Chris Mason / Trussbot interview. I honestly don't think I could bear it. The excerpts were painful enough.

Me too.

Why does she blink so much? She looks like she's glitching.

She's almost drunk but too in control for that. Definitely medicated- her words were slurring bit.
Long term she's shooting herself in the foot, surely she be better to walk whilst she can walk rather need to be carried off in an ambulance...

I genuinely think she’s unwell and I noticed the slurring too. I hate what she and her cronies have done to the people of this country but I don’t wish ill health on anyone. She should step down, or be removed, both for the good of the country and her own personal well being.

And there should preferably be a general election, though the tories will fight tooth and nail against it.

Yes. I agree with this. All the lettuce nonsense needs to stop. She needs to be removed for her own well-being aside from the obvious reasons.

I went from being riveted by the drama to actually feeling sorry for her - like we were watching her have a nervous breakdown live on TV. It felt voyeuristic.

Mordaunt handled it well - almost too well. She enjoyed it. And Hunt did feel like the grown ups had finally come back home to sort out the mess the kids had made. What a shit show.

I haven’t watched anything (just listened to Hunt on LBC) but I feel the same. It’s making me feel a bit stressy that she won’t go.

A friend used to work in the civil service, and came across most of the current and recent past ministers. Before the leadership election, he said that Jeremy Hunt was the most competent politician by far, and was hoping that he would stand for PM. He also said that Liz Truss would be disastrous. He's not a Tory, his views were just based on competence. Interesting how things have turned out.

Does she wear contact lenses? It could be that.

Today it looked like Hunt and Mordaunt being co PMs and with Truss saying she's staying on are they trying to avoid another leadership vote? The Tories are so utterly awful.

What we really need is a general election. Covid has changed everything. How can we keep going with a government voted in pre pandemic

Perhaps it’s all an act and the Tories have come up with the excuse of ill health to give Truss an out and so that they can install their latest charlatan or psychopath?

Quite. Rishi did tell them how it was all going to go down but they voted for her anyway.
