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

[Pevenseagull]

Fracking vote now de facto vote of confidence in Truss' government. Insane.

Vote for law to ban fracking proposed by Labour.

Tory MPs subject to a three line whip to oppose a ban on fracking (completely against their manifesto pledge).

Desperate shambles.

She is like the substitute teacher who can’t control a class of 8 year olds.

Until we see how Labour do in power, it’s all guesswork as to whether they’ll do a better job isn’t it?

I am all for them giving it a go but I do not have your 100% confidence that they’ll do a much better job

from cameron calling an "advisory" referendum to the present day, realistically, how could anyone be worse than these callous, courrupt incompetents?

It's all going a bit Kafka

It's all going a bit Kafka

This is exactly what I was thinking! Something from a Kafka movie.

There only needs to be 40 or so Tory rebels to defeat the Government, which would surely be the end? They must be able to organise that?

Or Catch 22.

Anyone even considering voting for them again should watch this, consider what's happening and take a step back. I posted on this thread about 4 hours ago about this subject, I honestly didn't think my opinion of them and their supporters could get any lower. Well, it took 3 hours and 49 minutes to do so. Bravo.

I agree with those saying ……

Those seeking to draw equivalence between Starmer being “smug” and the performance of the Truss government are publicly admitting to an astonishing lack of critical reasoning and probably need to have a good look at themselves because they’re the reason this country is going to pot.

How can Truss make such a spending commitment about the pensions lock? Surely we’re supposed to be waiting for this budget statement?

The disagreement and pathetic machinations of this party are dragging us all down with them. They deserve political oblivion.

Incredible

Stat of the day ...

Inflation is now higher than Lizzy's approval rating

I'd prefer it if she was a quitter rather than a fighter.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

They tell so many lies, they can't even remember what they have done before.




I'll give you a clue. There was no vote, so Labour neither voted for it or against it.

We all know the reason! She does not know how to answer the questions she would be asked. We should be grateful. Every time she opens her gob the pound crashes again.

Run. Run. Run.

Why would they worry about losing the Tory whip? Those Tory MPs who had the balls to vote with the courage of their convictions rather than being bullied by Truss (how can you allow yourself to be bullied by her?) would at least have some chance as an Independent in a GE. At least they would garner some respect from their constituents.

They won't though. We will see the snivelling, cowardly bastards do her bidding in order to prop her up.

She certainly won't be missed .
