I spotted that too. Hopefully, things will settle down by next Friday when another PM is chosen. It'll be fun to hear about the wrangling over the next few days.

She's gone! Interestingly, the FTSE has just shot up!

The Tory Party has reached its final death throws!

It is agony watching this clueless bint flogging a dead horse!

With tonight's developments, I doubt that by the time I log in tomorrow Truss will still be in office. The woman is truly f*cked!

Having watched PMQs I don't think she acquitted herself very well. I thought that Starmer went very easy on her. Latest is that she's cancelled (at very short notice) a planned press Q&A session for this afternoon.

Slight aside, I watched Lisa Nandy (Labour) take Steve Baker (Conservative) to pieces on the politics show. I rate Nandy, and I respect Baker, but I've never seen him look so embarrassed or awkward.

Wragg (Conservative) is rather p*ssed at tonights 3 line whip on fracking. He wants to vote against it but knows if he does he loses the whip, but worse, it would mean that his letter of no confidence in Truss would be negated!

Things are closing in on Truss: slowly, but steadily.

The track record isn't looking good.

I suspect how PMQs tomorrow goes might be defining. If Truss screws it up I fear the end will be nigh. If she handles it well, she might remain in office until Halloween, when she will be judged again.

Frankly, I don't rate her chances, and if I were her, I'd go now rather than wait for the Tories to remove me.

We seem to have several versions of Mickey Mouse in recent years, often supported by the Muppets.

So, our options might be Santa Claus, Mickey Mouse, Pudsey, Paddington, Superman or Flash Gordon. Well, my vote goes to Paddington, at least he has a marmalade sandwich under his hat.

Mourdant played a good game this afternoon, but you could tell that she thought it was all over. Starmer didn't push things home as far as he ought have, implying he had some sympathy for Truss.

Hunt has reversed virtually everything that Truss and Kwarteng did (though bankers' bonus caps are still lifted, unless I've missed it) which now begs the question what is Truss still doing there?

Odds are rapidly shortening on her seeing the end of the year, I personally wouldn't rate her chances of seeing the next weekend.

THings are looking worse for the Conservatives by the hour: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11323373/UK-opinion-polls-Tories-facing-WIPEOUT-general-election.html

The PM couldn't even show her face in Parliament this afternoon.

Reply with quote Post Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2022 8:58 pm
I have a feeling that Hunt has been foisted on her in an attempt to stabilise the situation whilst the party decide what to do about things. Many reports are saying that Hunt is now in fact the PM in all but name.

Her future's looking more doubtful by the minute.

Reply with quote Post Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2022 12:34 am
Maybe my earlier suggestion about the end of the month was optimistic? Some Tories are saying that she'll be lucky to survive the weekend!

Well, that's the last of Thick Lizzie's credability gone: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63261432

Whatever happens from now on, the Conservatives are screwed.

I wouldn't call it a hard time. She was simply asked to justify her position and thinking. The little blonde air-head couldn't even do that.

The Tories aren't stupid, she's got to go and they know that.
