In line with previous habits….

The BBC gave a slightly different (but no less damning) view:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-63221738

/Liz Truss is coming under more pressure from some of her own MPs to rethink the tax cuts announced in last month's mini-budget
Conservative Home's Paul Goodman also says MPs are considering alternatives to Truss as leader
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly says Truss is sticking with her plan, and removing her as PM would be disastrous
The PM's strategy was criticised when she attended a meeting of Tory backbenchers last night
One MP accused her of wrecking 10 years of Conservative policies aimed at helping working people/

Cue the Borstriches telling us they need Bozo back and that ‘she was never any good anyway’, despite voting for her.
Time to face reality, a reversal is imminent.
It’ll probably get announced on Friday afternoon, in typical fashion.

….and Mad Nad sticks her oar in again! You really couldn’t make this up!

//Dorries urges Tories to "#BackLiz" - days after calling for election
Nadine Dorries has called for Conservative MPs to #BackLiz - just days after calling for a general election.
The former culture secretary last week said Ms Truss should "take to the country" if she wanted to undo Boris Johnson-era policy.
But today, Ms Dorries has called for unity.
She tweeted: "MPs circulating a smorgasbord of names re who should replace Truss as PM are not taking into account the fact that they cannot foist upon the British public another prime minister that the public have not voted for.
"A totally untenable position. #backliz"//

This is a government and party in total free fall.
It really is time for a GE, this haphazard and ad-hoc, utterly dire attempt at government is like being at the circus, but one where the clowns are the star act, the escapologist is the villain and the crowd are baying for blood.

What an utter shambles and unmitigated disaster.
Haven't you already done the 'heads in hands' bit on another thread?

I have. Sadly for the Tories, this is a fluid and ongoing story, it’s changing by the minute, thus the link gets updated, often every few minutes.

Maybe you might take yours out of the sand?
Wringing my hands in despair as we speak. Oh woe, woe, and thrice woe! Is that better? :o)

Seems it’ll be Liz’s ears ringing with the shouts of “Go, go now, for the sake of the country, GO”!

A decent summary from only 4 hours ago.



U-turn is coming.
It’s really the only sensible path
The BBC gave a slightly different (but no less damning) view:
yeah but no but
they leap around camera as tho they cant hold it in
and are going to pee in front of everyone
esp when it comes to tory setbacks
//Wringing my hands in despair as we speak. Oh woe, woe, and thrice woe! Is that better?//

ringing their bells - soon they will be wringing their hands
Loo-loo - walpole prbably, on the outbreak of war 1739
Iam glad I hold with the idea of changing your mind if you and don’t hold with the ideas you did before .How often have you heard it said “A but you said “ .it don’t matter what you said if you think a change of mind is for the better.That’s what’s wrong people they adhere to things they said rather than admit they were wrong in the first place .I’d better hit the answer now button before I change my mind.

Problem is weecalf, when you’re in government and don’t clearly think through your fiscal planning and subsequently cause untold misery to millions and burden them financially even more(bar the odd Tory donor/backer) it becomes a bit of a problem for the world.
At least try and grasp the perspective if nothing else?

Do you really think Kwarteng ‘gets it’ as he so flippantly put it at the conference? I doubt hr did, especially not as his former boss benefitted by several millions after betting against the Pound following the mini budget.

About as convincing as the football club chairman’s “Has the backing of this club” just prior to a managerial change of personnel.
The TrussBus will be along shortly, the one she threw you under last week, only this time she’s looking to save her skin, not just face.
Place your bets! Lol

Even the Tories say he has to go!

The Conservative Party, the gift that keeps on giving! PMSL
the papers (the Tory ones) are saying MPs plan a coup briging Sunak and Mordaunt to power. The ones already rejected by the party rank and file.
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/7BB0/production/_127146613_croppedthetimes141022pg1-nc.png.webp

They are toast.
Tora and his mates picked the wrong candidate, and the Tory grandees plan to rectify the error. Mourdant as PM and Sunak as Chancellor (they seem to have quickly forgotten he wasn’t any good).

LBC and James O’Brien summing it all up succinctly again.


He’d like to hear from some of the AB Right Wingers too, give him a call.

How are the hands feeling, some 24 hours on from yesterday?
You certainly sounded in despair earlier, bless you.
