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

[TomandJerry]

There's scope for BJ being able to rerun as PM.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I wonder if Penny Pugwash will have another go?

 

[Mellotron]

Peston or someone similar had suggested it would probably be between Sunak, Wallace and Mordaunt.

Peston or someone similar had suggested it would probably be between Sunak, Wallace, Hunt and Mordaunt.

Hunt's already ruled himself out.

[Weststander]

Some Braverman-supporting twat on TalkRadio, Nick from Chichester, selling her as a great potential PM, Labour will fear her.

Still right-wing idiots living with the fairies. Unable to see the big picture.

It would be funny, if the country didn't need stable direction in the 26 months ahead.

How did we get to this state that one wing of one party, control 68m people?

 

[raymondo]

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.

Exactly this. The ERG and related right wing groups pull the strings behind the scenes.
Starmer has an open goal...will he be a Haarland or...

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

If we can't have a General Election can we at least have some dull but worthy grown-ups running the country until then? Not too much to ask shirley?

 

[JBizzle]

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.

I'm not saying it's equal, I just don't like the politics of either

 

[JackB247]

Truly remarkable and turbulent times.

Really surprised they are getting the members involved again in the leadership election given the shitshow that's happened with Truss.

 

[jcdenton08]

I don't like it but I'll have to go along with it…

 

[studio150]

Not a bad pay off for completely failing in your 44 days as PM, £115k a year for the rest of your life. No wonder Truss was still smiling when she made her statement today.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Peston or someone similar had suggested it would probably be between Sunak, Wallace and Mordaunt.

119 votes each?

 

[TomandJerry]

Boris Johnson is expected to stand in the Tory leadership contest, the Times is reporting.

The former prime minister is reportedly taking soundings but is said to believe it is a matter of national interest, Steven Swinford writes.

 

[1066familyman]

Reports from The Times apparently that BJ might stand again. In normal times that would just be impossibly ridiculous. These are definitely not 'normal' times however, and haven't been for some time.

Glad I got on the 40-1

Welcome to the new normal. Not only are they going to shit on us from on high, they are going to make us eat it.

BBC reporting a tweet from The Times that BJ is 'taking soundings' on running for leadership 'in the national interest' FFS
