[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[Machiavelli]

This is very good, and has got the BBC bigwigs' knickers in a twist, releasing diktats that comedians can no longer appear on political shows. It also made the front page of The Daily Mail in a froth:

That's the funniest thing I've read all day. The only thing she's likely to score is own goals.

Well, if she's half as good as Dunky in other areas we're in safe hands.

81326 people decide the next leader of the UK.....the will of the people.

that's about the right when counting the number of people with serious money who we got rid of the EU to give back control to....

 

[Scappa]

Bit disappointing she didn't pay Rishi Sunak any real and respectful compliments for a fair and well contested leadership race. Although you could see the relief on Rishi's face in his generous applause for her. He has dodged a bullet, while retaining his dignity. This has disaster written all over it now.

An unfaithful, eccentric slapper running the country.

Enough about the incumbent, what about Truss?

Ben Elliot, the Conservative party co-chair who masterminded Tory fundraising under Boris Johnson, has resigned

She has already got her very own 3 word slogan, so beloved by the right wing of this Sceptred Isles.

“We will deliver “ repeated 3 times.

I already feel that we will be in safe hands.

Even my very apolitical wife was shouting at the TV. "yes, but what? What will you deliver?"

I bet the help includes free pork chops for :everyone - shame we can't afford to cook them.

Hello there, Westdene Seagull.
As you are aka Cap’n Carl Firecrotch, perhaps you could place those pork chops in the vicinity of your testicles and give them a good searing.
Remember that pork should be well cooked though.:

Shouting at the telly doesn’t work.
I know, my son and I shouted very loudly when Alexis MacAllister’s goal was disallowed yesterday!

Good news. Only got to survive* until the next election and a good three or so terms of Labour beckon. Vote Truss, get Starmer


*of course, if you're a pensioner or disabled and have a heating bill to pay.....

I'll give the New Clown a chance providing she sticks with the Northern Ireland Protocol as the country signed and agreed.

If she "rips it up", I'll despise her.

Yep...

Worth highlighting that in her acceptance speech, Liz indicated that she'll win the next election in 2024. So we've got at least 20 months of her as PM.

 

[vegster]

Watch Sterling plummet.

He always does.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

That's because you are a hard leftist. It's like going on the Palace forum after we beat them looking for praise.
She could have have given a speech like Churchill and you will still find fault.

Just like Brighton this country is blue

I am not and never have been a hard leftist.
For the last 50 odd years since my late teens I would describe myself as a slightly left of centre moderate social democrat.
Churchill would be turning in his grave at the thought of the speech and the policies that this stupid woman is putting foward.
This country isn't as blue as you think. I am convinced my own MP (Winchester) is resigned to losing his seat at the next election.
If I had an ignore list, you would be on it, but I haven't because you are good entertainment value.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Sounds like she’s bringing in some sort furlough like plan for gas bills, they cover x amount and we top up the rest.

I’m sure that’s going to work out ok.

She may win.

But Brown also bottled it and then lost so perhaps not.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I have some sympathy with that. I will be interested to see who is in the senior cabinet jobs after the next few days, and what she might announce.

I am not, however, holding out a great deal of hope. Simply put, I have zero hope that she will be any good, but would be happy to be proved wrong.

Do you really think any of the sensible conservatives who haven't left the party and wouldn't serve under Johnson will now serve under Truss ?

I'm afraid we will still have the same scrapings of the barrel in Cabinet. Not so much shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic, more like shuffling the remaining turds in the cat litter

I've already changed my mind! We are definitely going to hell in a handcart.
I think the best thing that could happen tomorrow is for the Queen to turn her away when she gets to Balmoral tomorrow.

I've just been told on here that, just like Brighton, this country is blue. Is that the right colour for racist/fascist? She is going to extend the Rwanda thing and sign agreements with other countries. It doesn't work, Liz. It's inhuman. It's inhumane. It's in contravention of international law. Plenty of decent Conservatives will be appalled by it.

 

[sparkie]

This is like a new 20 million pound striker signing on deadline day. Very exciting. Mrs Truss will be unveiled as our new leader shortly.

Congratulations Liz.

Are you going to predict another "landslide" like you did for Trump
