[Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

[TomandJerry]

Graham Brady to make statement
The 1922 Committee chair, Sir Graham Brady, is about to make a statement outside parliament.

Tories election manifesto should be interesting if there was an election

Will they admit they were wrong about Brexit or stay on that bandwagon? that's their big dilema

The tories admit that they were wrong?

 

[Weststander]

The European Research Group effectively control the party, able to blackball any candidate they consider as an enemy or having slighted Boris. They therefore control the UK.

A tiny number of zealots. This is unjust to this nation.

I feel I could write a speech that Starmer should now make, with genuine emotion, to win all the remaining hearts and minds of sensible politicians and the public.

Not in the Commons, not in his staid barrister's style with the same old one-liners.

He could seize this moment.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Five Prime Ministers in six years and no change of party. Brexit is eating the Tory party bit by bit.

 

[Stato]

Any truth in the rumour that the Tories made Truss Prime Minister after somebody rang Graeme Souness and told him that she was George Weah's cousin?

 

[wolfie]

He should change his name to Jake Mogg - might get him more credibility.

 

[jessiejames]

Boris in to 8/1, 4TH FAV, he was 40's last week. Boris same price as
Starmer for next PM.

I for one welcome our new lettuce overlord.

 

[raymondo]

EXCLUSIVE! Raymondo backs Boris for comeback to save on wallpapering costs.

Well, it's important to think of public finances innit. Unless of course Truss had the same taste as Carrie...in which case tons of dosh was saved

 

[TomandJerry]

Suella Braverman is widely expected to stand to be Tory leader, although Sir John Hayes, the former minister who is a confidante and adviser to the former home secretary, declined to say if she plans to stand.

I don’t know if they’re worse, they’re both terrible though. Being “better” than this lot isn’t exactly a huge boast. I am hoping Momentum don’t weasel their way back in, is all I’m saying.

I'm hoping that the last few years will be the death knell for the far left and the far right dominating British politics

Given how Truss clung on in his cabinet, they may have had the same taste in their mouth at one time or another.

 

[Stato]

Braverman's putting her name forward? She resigned yesterday saying that she did something unacceptable that should disqualify her from being Home Secretary. However, she doesn't consider that it should disqualify her from being in charge of the Home Secretary? There is no bottom of the barrel is there?

 

[raymondo]

If it's Rees-Mogg then God help us all.

I can't imagine he'd want it. He strikes me as someone who wants influence and power without true, transparent accountability.

OMG

I can't imagine they'd sincerely admit mistakes about anything.

Whenever a popular football manager moves on, the comment is often that they've left the club in a better place than when they found it.

This isn't the case here.

 

[Bold Seagull]

I'm hoping that the last few years will be the death knell for the far left and the far right dominating British politics

The media presented it as far left, manifestos told a different story of progressive taxation and public ownership. Let's not paint this as somehow equal across the political divide.

However, she doesn't consider that it should disqualify her from being in charge of the Home Secretary? There is no bottom of the barrel is there?

Indeed, it's bottomless...and I believe she engineered her own departure to free herself to run for PM.

Basically avoid mentioning it altogether, I suspect.
